How are jade bead necklaces made?

The necklace made of jade beads is round and smooth. When worn on the neck, it reflects the elegant and virtuous temperament, so jade bead necklaces have always been very popular.

Jade bead necklaces have a very good texture and are often very charming. Sometimes a jade bead necklace can enhance a person's temperament. So how are jade bead necklaces made?

The processing process of jadeite bead necklace:

Material selection

The first step in processing jade bead necklaces is material selection. It is best to choose jade beads with good parts and no cracks, and it is best if the beads have texture or color.

Cutting

Cutting means cutting off cracked or defective parts; cutting large jade beads with irregular shapes into small pieces. The quality of cutting directly determines the quality of the jade bead necklace. If some impurities are not cut off, the beauty of the jade bead necklace will be greatly reduced. Therefore, from the processing point of view, the cutting of the bead necklace is also very important.

Suction beads

Place a small piece of cut jade on the suction cup and you can absorb the colored or good quality parts. The suction beads come in various sizes.

Chamfer

Jade beads that have been cut are generally squares or cylinders, and the edges and corners must be removed. This requires a chamfering machine to remove these edges so that the beads can be ground on a large scale. During this process, the edges and corners of the jade raw materials will gradually be worn away, and the shape of the beads will basically take shape.

coarse grinding

Rough grinding means that after the edges are rounded off and the corners are almost gone, and it becomes approximately round, then you can replace it with a coarse grinding disc. Rough grinding only gives a rough shape to the beads and allows them to take an initial shape. Roughly ground jade beads cannot be used for making things, so if you want to make a good jade bead necklace, it still has to go through fine grinding.

Fine grinding

After rough grinding, fine grinding will begin. Fine grinding is mainly aimed at the surface to make it round. After fine grinding, the jade bead necklace has basically taken shape. Such jade beads are also very beautiful. The beads after fine grinding are relatively round.

Punching

After fine grinding, it is time to start drilling holes. Good beads are drilled in manually selected locations, which requires good quality and high efficiency. Ordinary beads in large quantities are generally drilled using ultrasound, which can improve efficiency.

polishing

After drilling the hole, the surface of the bead needs to be polished. Polishing is generally done with a vibration polishing machine, so that the surface of the bead can be polished smoother and cleaner.

The last step of polishing is a necessary step. Polishing will make the jade more attractive and lustrous. There is a big difference between two jades that have been polished and those that have not. Polishing also has a great impact on the value of jade, so you must be careful.

To become a fine-quality bead necklace, the requirements for the raw stone are extremely high. First of all, the raw stone must be large enough, without lines or cracks, and the water color must be uniform. The raw stone is cut into thick slices, and then cut into cubes one by one. Finally, it is polished into jadeite round beads. You can imagine how much material is wasted. As long as there is a crack or the water color is slightly worse, the whole necklace will become uncoordinated and the value will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, there are not many stone materials available in large pieces without lines. Good raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce and their prices are rising, so it is destined that most merchants will not choose to use these good materials to make jade necklaces.

Every bead on the jade bead necklace needs to go through the above steps to become a fine product, so a string of jade bead necklaces has extremely high value. If you come across a more precious jade bead necklace, you must collect it decisively.
