On the day of World Metrology Day, the Jilin Province Gold and Silver Gemstone Jewelry Quality Supervision and Inspection Center conducted a free inspection of jewelry and jade scenes. Ms. Zhang took a total of 5 pieces of jewelry, including silver bracelets, crystal necklaces, jade bracelets, etc. The silver bracelet was actually a copper-zinc alloy. Although it cost less than 200 yuan when it was purchased, it made her angry.
According to statistics from the Quality Supervision and Inspection Center of Jinyin Gemstone Jewelry of Jilin Province, on the 20th, 52 pieces of jewelry were inspected. Among the products involved are jade, hetian jade, amber, beeswax, coral, pearl, agate, crystal, tanzanite, silver jewelry, diamonds, gold, lapis lazuli, topaz, garnet.
The test found that the jade and beeswax replicas are the most, and the imitations are basically dyed quartzite, marble, and even plastic and glass.
"beauty" over the "Jade Bracelet"
Ma Hongyan, director of the Quality Supervision and Inspection Center of Jinyin Jewelry in Jilin Province, said that from the beginning of this year to the present, they have carried out two free testing activities, which are expected to be carried out three times before the end of this year. From the results of two free tests, more than 60% of jade and beeswax products are counterfeit goods.
According to Ma Hongyan, there was a consumer who brought the test to a grayish white bracelet with a reddish surface. According to the consumer, when she bought the bracelet, the gray part was actually green. But after wearing it for a while, it turned gray.
After the staff spotted the bracelet, it was found that the “Jade Bracelet†purchased by the consumer was “beautyâ€. Ma Hongyan said that this "Jade Bracelet" actually changed the original appearance after adding the color to the bracelet. During the wearing period, the consumer restored the original color, that is, grayish white. Moreover, the bracelet is exposed to something like acid and alkali during wearing, which causes signs of redness on the surface.
Honey wax powder turned into beeswax worth doubled
According to reports, beeswax is also one of the hottest products for consumer testing. Wax is known as "the lightest gem in the world". In recent years, affected by the changes in the international situation, the price of beeswax has continued to rise, and it has gradually become the new favorite of the collectibles market. Therefore, some unscrupulous traders also played the idea of ​​beeswax, and the phenomenon of fake and shoddy is not uncommon.
In the test, the staff found that the jewellery purchased by the consumer as beeswax was actually made of plastic after the identification. Some consumers bought the beeswax after the re-processing of the beeswax powder, and the value was quite different.
Ma Hongyan said that after the beeswax powder has been re-pressed, coated, and colored, the beeswax product is called “second-generation beeswaxâ€. The price on the market is very cheap, and the real beeswax market price is equivalent to the price of gold. Every gram is two or three hundred yuan.
Ma Hongyan reminded consumers that when purchasing beeswax products, there is one of the simplest methods of identification, that is, the density of beeswax is very small, and it can be floated on saturated salt water. "However, the products that can be floated are not necessarily beeswax, but the beeswax will float on it." Ma Hongyan said that the pattern of beeswax is naturally formed, and the lines are not interwoven with each other, but plastic is processed. The "bean wax" needs to be agitated when melting the plastic, so the lines are interwoven.
Buy jewelry to formal malls
Ma Hongyan said that from the situation she has learned, the most deceived are the elderly. Most of the jewelry purchased by these elderly people are in tourist attractions, and some are in stalls or small shops.
In the face of the jewellery market, Ma Hongyan said that the jewellery identification is very complicated and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to identify. He reminded consumers that the purchase of jewelry must go to the formal shopping mall, the formal jewelry has identification certificates and photos. Remember to ask for an invoice when purchasing. If you find any quality problems, you can use the invoice or receipt to identify the Changchun Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau of No. 928, Silicon Valley Street, High-tech Zone.
