Back cover or no back cover? How good is inlaid jade?

Many people will find that most jades have a "back cover" when purchasing jade rings, jade necklaces and other jade jewelry. The practice of "back sealing" in jade inlay has caused widespread controversy: What are the types of back sealing and what are the benefits of back sealing inlay?

1. The backing inlay can better protect the main jade stone and effectively reduce the damage caused by collision.

2. It is convenient to wear, the tight wrapping is safer, and the chance of the main stone falling off during wearing is lower.

3. The back cover helps reflect light, making the jade look more beautiful.

4. Anti-fouling and anti-dirt, playing a role in maintaining cleanliness.

5. The backing can cover blemishes and hide some flaws of the main jade stone.

There are three types of back covers: lidded (with windows), sealed and mesh sealed. As the name suggests, there is a small lid on the bottom cover that can be opened. This form is very common. By opening the small lid, you can identify the texture of jadeite. It is a "live bag" and is also called a lidded seal. Sealing means completely surrounding and sealing. The network seal is a complete seal. These two types cannot be opened without the help of professional tools. They are "dead bags", also called bottomless seals. What types of jadeite need to have a bottom cover?

Jadeite with rich colors will usually have a sealed bottom, as too rich a color will reduce the transparency of the jadeite. After sealing the bottom, the light reflection can make the jadeite look more transparent. The reason for the back cover is to make the jade more colorful, more beautiful and more perfect. There are also a few who do it to cover up their ugliness, and of course they also want to make their jade look better.
