What should I do if the jade bracelet breaks? Don’t panic, I will tell you how to rescue and repair jade right away.

When jade was first formed, it was just a kind of jadeite rock. After millions of years of polishing, collision, and pressing, it gradually formed into jade. The important component of jade is omphacite, so jade has a certain hardness. Although jade is very hard, its brittleness is relatively weak, so in the face of stronger impacts, jade will also break. In the face of this situation, what should we do? Don't panic. Today we take the jade bracelet as an example. Even if it breaks, we can try the following methods to rescue it.

The first method is to inlay gold and silver with jade, abbreviated as "gold inlaid with jade". Since ancient times, people have liked to combine gold, silver and jade together. Therefore, if jade is broken or damaged, repairing and inlaying it with gold, silver and other metals is a very good way. However, the repair cost of this method is relatively high. After all, gold, silver and other jewelry are expensive jewelry in themselves. Without considering the cost, gold inlaid with jade is the best repair method.

The second method is to repair and rebuild it again. For the broken places in the jade, the method of filling the broken places with the same shape is adopted, removing fat and filling thin, removing high and filling low. However, this method is very challenging for the carving master's skills and patience. Secondary creation in the damaged places is much more difficult than making a new bracelet. If the carving master wants to create his own ideas based on the original one, he needs to consider not only the effect of the final product, but also the style of the original product and the effect it presents.

The third method is to give it a makeover. Some jade bracelets are too severely damaged to restore their original appearance, but we can't bear to throw away the broken jade. So we can give the damaged jade bracelet a makeover and remake it into earrings or rings, etc. These are relatively small accessories and do not require much material, which is just right for jade that has been severely damaged. The last method is fracture bonding. Strictly speaking, this method is the same as gold inlaid jade, but the cost of gold inlaid jade is slightly higher, and the final effect will be better. The fracture bonding method is just as the name suggests, using a relatively strong adhesive to directly bond the broken parts.

The above four methods can all repair broken jade bracelets, but because the repair process, cost methods, and final results are different, when you wear jade in your daily life, you should try to avoid damaging the jade. There is a Chinese saying that "a broken mirror is hard to mend." Although some remedial methods can restore the jade to its original state, the scar is still there, so we must avoid damage to the jade from the root.
