My jade bracelet is broken. Is there any way to repair it?

Broken jade bracelet

The repair of jade bracelets is based on the degree of damage to the bracelet. There are generally the following types of repairs:

1. There are obvious natural cracks and fine lines. Generally, a light gold painting is applied to the cracks to cover them up. The light gold painting can also serve as a decorative finishing touch to the bracelet.

2. One or two breaks. If a bracelet is hit or dropped and breaks in one or two places, the gold or silver wrapping method of inlaying jade is usually used to connect the two parts, forming a circle again, with the beginning and the end connected. There are many styles of gold ornaments on the interface, including full coverage and hollow coverage, and they are exquisitely decorated. This "gold inlaid jade" concept does not affect the overall beauty of the bracelet, and is very consistent with the meaning of "golden and jade marriage".

3. A small piece is broken. If a small part of the entire ring is missing, a gold buckle can be used to fill the missing part, making the ring a whole again. This kind of gold buckle can be made into an open style, which is easier to wear.

4. When broken into three or more pieces, some can be reassembled by coating with gold or silver, while others need to be processed by jewelry modification. For example, if there are obvious emerald green segments (or larger emerald green dots) in a jade bracelet, it can be processed into a ring face or pendant, or small pendants such as jade pendants or chili peppers.

5. Severe fracture. For severe fractures, the above methods can no longer be used to repair them. We can only take the essence of the jadeite from the bracelet, and still use inlaying to restore the bracelet's brilliance. However, after being repaired by this method, the bracelets are no longer dominated by jade, but are more emphasized on the features of gold and silver inlays, and some can even be inlaid with diamonds.
