What kind of gold is best for jade inlay?

The Chinese have only been processing and wearing jade for a few hundred years. All in all, apart from being processed into bracelets, rings, pendants and headdresses, jade is generally only used as a decorative object. But have you noticed that whether it is jewelry or high-end jade and jadeite, they are basically inlaid with K gold. Why not use 999 gold?

Teacher Wang, could you please briefly introduce the characteristics of jadeite inlaid with K gold?

In terms of characteristics: K gold is relatively cheap (compared with platinum), not easy to wear, high hardness, low toughness, high brightness, not easy to deform, and can fix diamonds more firmly, while pure gold is too soft to make more complex designs.

In terms of craftsmanship: K gold has higher requirements than pure gold and has to go through more than ten processes (block pressing, wire drawing, heat treatment, electroplating, etc.). Therefore, it has delicate workmanship, a refreshing appearance, a smooth surface, and a strong internal light feeling.

In terms of style: Due to the good strength and flexibility of K gold and its low melting point, it is easy to shape and form, and is very expressive. Therefore, different styles can be made, which can convey fashion information more delicately and richly.

In terms of color: K gold has a variety of colors and can meet the needs of customers who like different colors according to different formulas. It is fashionable and highlights personality, simple but not monotonous.

In terms of matching: Since K gold has different styles and colors, it is easier to match with fashions of different colors and styles, achieving better results. For example, young girls can choose solid K gold to appear generous and straightforward; while older women can choose colored gold to make them look better and younger.

From the trend perspective: K gold is a new internationally popular jewelry that represents fashion, avant-garde, quality, charm, and highlights individuality. Compared with yellow platinum, it is more in line with international trends and represents the confidence, calmness and elegance of modern women. Because consumers' consumption concepts and aesthetic tastes have changed greatly, the concept of value preservation of jewelry products has become increasingly weak, and they need a reflection of artistic value and artistic taste. K gold is precisely an outstanding representative of this trend.
