To identify the authenticity of the jade certificate, you should look at the logo, the number, the steel seal, the signature of the inspector and the specific test items. The jadeite industry has always been in trouble. Many jadeites did not understand anything when they first bought jadeite, but they believed in the appraisal certificate of the jadeite they purchased. Therefore, some unscrupulous merchants decided to fake the jadeite. Appraisal certificates have also become the hardest hit area for fraud; therefore, it is important to master the method of identifying the authenticity of jade certificates.
1/ Look at the logo
On a genuine jade certificate, the most conspicuous ones are the logos of several English abbreviations. The most common ones are "CMA", "CAL" or "CAL". The mark of "CNAL" and CMA are the marks of qualified measurement certification of testing institutions. The institutions with this mark are legal testing institutions. CNAL is the symbol of a national laboratory. CAL refers to the standards of testing and inspection agencies approved by the national quality review. Among them, "CMA" is a must. If a certificate does not even have "CMA" on it, it means that the institution that issued the certificate has no appraisal qualifications at all. Such a jade appraisal certificate is a fake certificate.
2/ Look at the number
A valid certificate will have a number on it. This is an important indicator for checking the authenticity of the certificate. There are many fake certificates that deliberately do not write the number, just to prevent We checked the number and found out the authenticity of the certificate. The value of a certificate without a number is equivalent to a piece of blank paper.

The identification results are the most intuitive, but if you want to have a deeper understanding of the relevant information of the identified jadeite, you should also look at the specific jadeite items, such as each physical, chemical, optical characteristics, etc. Each piece of jadeite should be accompanied by a certificate. The same certificate cannot be used just because it is similar or comes from the same batch of materials.
