Is there something fishy about the jade inlaid backing? Listen to what the industry insiders say

Many people will find that many jades are inlaid when purchasing jade jewelry. The backing seal in jadeite inlay is quite controversial. Some people think that high-end jadeite does not need a backing seal, and there must be something fishy about the backing seal in jadeite inlay.

But is it really like this? Is there something fishy about the jade inlay backing?

First of all, let’s understand what the back cover is? The backing is to completely seal the bottom of the jadeite raw stone with K gold, silver and other inlays. In fact, like other inlays, backing is just a step in the deep processing of jade.

Secondly, there are three types of bottom inlay: lidding (opening a small window), sealing, and mesh sealing.

1. Open a small window, which means there is a small cover that can be opened on the bottom. Through this small window you can see the texture and structure of the jade, and its type, water content and color are all clear at a glance.

2. To seal it means to completely surround the bottom of the jade with inlays so that no small window can be seen or opened.

3. Net sealing refers to the fact that the bottom of the jade is inlaid in a fully surrounded manner, but the inlay is in a grid shape.

So what are the benefits of back inlay, and why do merchants like jade inlay so much? Everyone thinks that the merchants do this to cover up defects, but of course the merchants know that consumers have such thoughts. It is obviously impossible to do business by sealing and inlaying the back just to cover up defects.

Ultimately, back cover inlay exists to meet the needs of consumers and the market.

First of all, the backing inlay can better protect the main jade stone and effectively reduce the damage caused by collision. Secondly, the jade inlaid on the back makes it convenient to wear, and the tight wrapping is also safer, and the chance of the main stone falling off during wearing is lower. Then, the backing helps reflect light, making the jade look more beautiful. Finally, the back cover can prevent dirt and stains, and play a role in maintaining cleanliness.

Of course, the inlay on the back cover does have the effect of concealing blemishes, but we cannot say that there is something fishy about the back cover. Inlay has its own fashion and beauty. It is a craftsmanship. There is no such thing as high-end jadeite does not need inlay. Concealing blemishes can make jade more beautiful, but whether there is something fishy depends on whether the merchant informs consumers.

To sum up, there is not necessarily something fishy about the inlaying of jadeite as it also serves the purpose of beautifying and protecting jadeite. It is possible that some merchants may use the backing method to pass off inferior products as good ones or cover up defects, but this situation is rare, so jade lovers must look carefully and be more discerning before purchasing.
