Jade is tough and still splinters at the thin spot. Some pieces are jewelry, some are sculpture, and the origin is often the dispute. In the overview [Security for collectors](/artikel/sicherheit-fuer-sammler) you write down only the origin you have, and you store it shock-free.

## Storage

Do not stack, protect the thin spots, not in the jewelry dish by the door if the piece has a price of its own. Oil and wax only if someone who knows the material says so for this piece. An experiment shines once and then sits in the surface.

## The folder

Measurements, color, origin as far as documented, whether it is jewelry or an object, proof, photo. The insurance policy separately, if the price requires it.


## Häufige Fragen

### Oil it?

Not on a hunch. The surface is the condition.

### Origin China or elsewhere?

Write down only what the proof says.

### In the jewelry dish?

Only the pieces that really are jewelry, and whose loss you cover the way you cover jewelry.
