There are so many types of jewelry, which ones will become more beautiful the more you wear them?

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and changes in values, the demand for accessories has become increasingly greater, especially jewelry. But relatively speaking, the value of jewelry is not low, so people will be more cautious in choosing it, hoping that the jewelry can always maintain its beauty. What about some jewellery that becomes more beautiful the more you wear it?

In our daily lives, we can find that some people like to play with jade, Shoushan stone, beeswax, rosewood bracelets, jadeite, etc., and they are also fond of the rewards these jades bring to them - the more they play with them, the more beautiful they become.

This shows that with the passage of time and the influence of external environment, many precious stones will also change. Some of these changes are subtle and not obvious, and are not easily perceived by people; some are obvious changes that people can see.

Some changes are welcomed by people and are called more beautiful, while some changes are not welcomed by people and are considered to be of poor quality. For the former, people always try to find ways to enhance its beautification; for the latter, it is a question of jewelry and jade maintenance, how to extend its durability.

For example, ornaments made of Hetian jade, jadeite, and Shoushan stone are very suitable for people to play with. The more you play with them, the more lustrous and shiny their surface becomes, and they can even heal cracks.

A Hetian jade bracelet was once returned three times in a shopping mall because of a tiny crack. Consumers love the delicate texture, white color and suitable strips, but once micro-cracks are found, it is like seeing a fly in a delicious dish, which immediately makes people feel sick. Because the customer returned the product after it was sold, the mall lowered the price. When a customer took a fancy to the bracelet, the mall pointed out the crack to the customer, informed the customer, and asked the customer to think it over carefully. Because of the excellence in other aspects, the price impressed a consumer and she finally decided to buy it. Three months later, the customer returned to the mall with a happy face and asked the salesperson to look for the crack on the bracelet again. Several salesmen gathered around but couldn't find the original crack on the bracelet. The crack was gone. The customer told the salesperson that this was the result of her wearing and playing with it.

Why is this? It turns out that the friction of skin contact healed the micro cracks on the Hetian jade. For jades like Hetian jade, jadeite, Shoushan stone, etc., the micro cracks in the jade will disappear by wearing and playing with them. This is mainly because the oil of the human body fills the micro cracks, while friction and rubbing have a polishing effect.

The rubbing process generates heat in the micron-scale space on the surface, which causes thermoplastic deformation and flow, and may cause thermal softening and melting, thereby producing a non-crystalline layer, which is like a layer of varnish applied to the surface of the jade piece, making the surface of the jade piece smooth.

Others will find that after wearing it for a long time, the color of the jade becomes more vivid. This is because after being played with, the surface of the jade becomes smoother, making the color more prominent.

When purchasing raw materials, jade experts often polish the raw materials partially in order to see the color of the jade clearly. At the very least, they moisten the raw materials with water to make the color clearer and more obvious. As we all know, polished jade is brighter in color than unpolished jade. This is because the smooth surface can reduce scattered light, increase reflected light and transmitted light to highlight the color. It is well known and people’s experience that Hetian jade becomes smoother and more lustrous after being played with.
