What should I do if my jade bracelet breaks?

Although jadeite is hard jade, it is also very brittle. In life, it is inevitable to encounter some bumps and bruises. If you are not careful, your beloved bracelet may be broken. Wouldn’t it hurt your heart? In fact, a broken bracelet does not mean the end of its companionship. If it is properly repaired, it can be given new life.

Gilding: If the jade bracelet does not fall very seriously and is not broken but only has cracks, you can use gilding to repair it. Press the gold wire into the cracks, which not only covers the cracks that affect the appearance, but also increases the firmness of the jade bracelet.

Repair the leak: If the jade bracelet is not cracked or even broken, but has a small chip, you can try applying resin, talcum powder and dye to the missing part, and then polish and seal it with wax after it dries. In this way, you will not be able to see the obvious chip unless you look closely.

Gold plating: If a jade bracelet is broken into several pieces, you can ask a craftsman to use gold plating to reassemble the bracelet and continue to wear it. If there is a missing part in the middle and it cannot form a complete circle, the craftsman can use a gold chain or hollow gold ornaments to complete the missing part.

Gluing: If the broken edge of the jade bracelet is relatively neat, you can use the gluing method:

Clean the cross section, then use a strong adhesive to glue the broken parts together, squeeze out the excess adhesive and wipe it clean. During the gluing process, you need to do a good job of fixing it (for example, use a heavy book or something like that to press the jade bracelet on a flat surface) to avoid dislocation. However, once the glue at the bonding part is oxidized, it is likely to break again, so its firmness is far inferior to gold plating.
