How could the value of jadeite inlaid like this be so much higher? Which of these inlay methods do you prefer?

Jade inlay is usually made of precious metals such as gold and silver, and then the jade is inlaid on the mounting according to certain shapes. Exquisite inlay craftsmanship and the designer's inspiration and creativity are extremely important to jade inlay. Generally speaking, jade inlay can be divided into two categories: creative inlay and craft inlay. Let me explain the difference between these two types of tesserae.

The purpose of inlay craft is often to protect jade, and also to increase the beauty and value of jade jewelry by inlaying gold and silver. Inlay craft is generally simple, and its application is quite extensive. Let me give you a few examples of craft inlay.

The nail setting method mainly uses nails shaped like claws, and then a small flat-top "nail" that can press down the edge of the gemstone is picked out from the ring setting to rivet the gemstone. The nail cannot be welded on separately. Moreover, when using the nail setting method, you must pay attention to the fact that the gemstone cannot be too deep or too shallow, and it must be coordinated with the ring setting to look more beautiful.

Tube setting, also known as jump well setting. It is mostly used for round, oval or egg-shaped gemstones. The groove drilled only needs to be the same as the circular edge of the gemstone, and it does not need to be parallel to the edge.

As the name suggests, hidden inlay means inlaying jade in a thicker or larger part of the metal, and the root will not be exposed. This inlay method is more stable.

In fact, creative inlay is designed to meet the current fashion trends of young people. Trendy elements are combined in a certain way to form a complete creative jade jewelry, which is generally popular among young people.
