One of the final steps before polishing is waxing the jade piece. The wax fills imperfections, scratches, nicks and improves the waxing process. It is difficult to tell the quality of the polishing until the jade piece has been used for awhile and the wax wears off. If the jade was not well polished, it will look dull. If your jade has lost its nice polish, you can apply wax and polish with a soft cloth, and your jade piece should look as good as when you purchased it.

could u please tell me what kind of wax to apply to my bangles? I’ve tried the cloths that has jewlers rouge on the cloth, but they still look the same… Thank u, Lou P.S. my bangles were purchased from China Town in Honolulu. One I wore for 40 yrs & then I finally got it off, now it’s impossible to get on again! But it’s gotten very dull!
COMMENT: You might find a jeweler who can polish it for you. Try using furniture polish on it, let it dry and buff with a soft cloth.
