How to distinguish between real and fake crystals?

How to distinguish between real and fake crystals?

1、 Basic identification methods
Hardness test: The natural crystal has a Mohs hardness of 7 and can scratch glass (hardness 5) without any scratches on itself.
Observing the internal structure: True crystals often have cotton fluff, ice cracks, or color bands, while fake crystals may contain bubbles or have uniform colors.
Temperature and feel: True crystal feels cold and conducts heat quickly, while glass heats up significantly.
2、 Advanced Techniques
Double refraction test: Place the crystal on the hair and rotate it, and the true crystal will show a double shadow effect.
Hole inspection: Natural crystal holes are intact, while glass holes are prone to indentation.
UV detection: True crystals have no fluorescence reaction, while stained crystals may show color.
3、 Common types of fraud
Material fraud: such as glass, melted crystal.
Color processing: dyeing, high-temperature color change (such as white crystal to yellow crystal).
Crystal splicing: exploded crystal, secondary crystal

HAND CIRCUMFERENCE

TAPE MEASURING

Use a tape measure to wrap around the thinnest part of the wrist, tightly against the skin.The length of one circle is the circumference of the hand. No need to leave any gaps.

DIY MEASURING

Wrap paper or cotton thread around the thinnest part of the wrist, tightly adhering to the skin.Make a mark at the intersection and measure the paper strip with a ruler.Or the length of the cotton thread, without leaving any gaps.

Hand circumference estimation

If it is inconvenient for you to measure, you can use the parameters in the table based on your height and weight

MAINTENANCE KNOWLEDGE

Avoid contact with chemicals

Jewelry is afraid of acidity, and can't touch detergent, perfume, soap liquid, hairdressing spray, detergent and other chemicals to prevent damage to jewelry such as oxidation and discoloration.

Avoid wearing when sweating

Sweat contains fatty acids, urea, and other substances that can corrode jewelry. After coming into contact with sweat, it can be cleaned with clean water. Try to avoid colliding with each other and scratching the surface of the crystal, and also avoid causing harm to oneself.

rinse

Natural crystals should not come into contact with chemicals such as dishwashing detergent, but they also need to be kept clean. Clean directly with clean water. Remember to dry jewelry with pure silver after cleaning to avoid accelerated oxidation.
