How to identify old beeswax

The old beeswax relies on the bright colors, the scarcity of resources, how to identify the old beeswax?

The so-called old beeswax is a beeswax product that people wear, play and store for a long time. The color is darker, orange-orange, orange-red, brown, etc. The appearance is dark and the gloss is dark. Usually used as a bracelet and beads, it is very ornamental. After several decades of completion, it will also be an antique old beeswax. At present, the Baltic old waxes that are seen in the market are mostly "done-handed" in some aspects. First, the newly mined amber beeswax is graded, and the darker and slightly darker is called “old wax”. The second is to heat the “new honey” to make it look brown or orange. Red, the internal structure becomes dull, the appearance of the gloss looks quaint, people believe it.

In fact, no matter which kind of amber beeswax, the so-called "old" is nothing but the texture becomes subtle, and a thin oxide layer appears on the surface. From a collection point of view, if it is indeed an old thing that has been worn and played for many years, the traces of the years left by it cannot be said to be an incalculable added value. If this surface is destroyed, the "new honey" sign will still be revealed. Nowadays, the so-called "old beeswax beads" commonly found in the market are many new Russian species, mostly arbor-based resins. The quality of those "Kobazhu" is quite different from that of real old beeswax.

The most important feature of the old beeswax is not that its color is deep and deep. Many imitations can be made in the same color as the old beeswax, but the unique luster of the old beeswax, which is the patina of the old beeswax. The material of the patina is a time deposit, which cannot be forged now. The forged patina looks frivolous and has no heavy feeling, which is quite different from the patina of real old beeswax.

In addition, the old beeswax generally has weathered lines, which is the result of long-term natural weathering. This feature is also obvious. The weathering of the old beeswax is very similar to the "opening" of Jingdezhen porcelain. This type of opening is particularly noticeable under the illumination of a spotlight. Although the weathered lines can be imitated, the fine ones are difficult to distinguish between true and false, but there is a wind pattern that is difficult to be forged. That is the weathering pattern in the old beeswax channel, which has no such texture in the old beeswax channel.
