21st Century Jade | Why It's Prized and How It's Tested and Valued with Renee Newman

 
Monday, October 15, 2018, 6 - 8:30pm
Author Renee Newman will be presenting an evening about why jade is prized and practical tips on how to distinguish fake and treated jade from natural jade using examples of modern jade jewelry and carvings.

Her presentation will help you:
  • Understand why jade is so prized
  • Tell the difference between jadeite and nephrite
  • Determine which types of jadeite and nephrite are most valued. Their value factors are not the same.
  • Detect fake jade using visual, tactile and auditory non-technical clues
  • Recognize when to be suspicious that jade has been treated with chemicals
  • Appreciate contemporary jade. 
 
Plenty of free parking on the street or side lot. Please enter at door on 15th.
