Inlay gives jade the wings to take off

As jewelry, it is difficult for jade to be separated from inlay, and inlay is difficult to be separated from various precious metals and colored gems. It seems like an innate fate, the so-called golden marriage. The bright metallic luster and the warm jade color can always be perfectly integrated and complement each other, which is both classical and elegant, fashionable and exquisite.

Inlay · Function

For jadeite, inlay has three main functions: protection, convenience of wearing and beauty.

Jade is a kind of jade that is very hard but also fragile. If the loose stone is not protected, it is easily worn. Therefore, the original purpose of inlaying jade with metal is to better protect it. It is best not to wear the loose stone directly without being inlaid.

Easy to wear, this is easy to understand. Some jade loose stones cannot be worn directly, such as egg-shaped jades, pendants, etc., but after being inlaid, they can be worn on the body very conveniently.

Based on the first two practicalities, jade inlay began to develop towards aesthetics. The collision of metal and jade inspired many jewelry designers. These fantastic inspirations brought more value to jade, making inlay one of the elements that gives jade art besides carving.
