Inlay brings jade back to life

Modern people's demand for and aesthetic standards for jade jewelry have also changed a lot. Inlaid jade has become more fashionable, and the processing technology has also been developed. With the fusion of Western gem jewelry culture and Eastern jade culture, there are more and more inlaid jade jewelry. The benefit of this is that it sets off the bright green color of jade, and it also protects the jade itself.

1. Low requirements for jade raw materials. As a natural jade, the appearance, shape, color distribution, jade quality and cracks of jade are all generated in nature and cannot be controlled artificially. Therefore, in the later artificial processing process, we must make full use of the beauty of jade, while trying our best to eliminate its shortcomings, "select materials according to the materials" and "apply skills in accordance with the materials". If we do jade inlay design, it will have special advantages. First of all, we can break down the jade raw materials into small pieces and use metal to piece the pieces together into a piece of jewelry. This greatly reduces the requirements for the jade raw materials without losing the integrity of the finished product.

2 Break through the traditional way of wearing jade, add artistic features, and enhance commercial value. According to records, since the large-scale development and utilization of jade, its main way of wearing it, in addition to ring-shaped products worn directly on the wrists and fingers, is to use a simple rope to string them together and decorate the neck, chest, and waist. This wearing method is still used today.

Inlaid jade ornaments have a wider decorative space. In addition to continuing to make traditional jewelry, they can also be used for the design and production of brooches, hairpins, decorative pins, tie clips, cufflinks, etc. The increase in the scope of decoration means that the shape is no longer limited to traditional decorative patterns, but becomes more fashionable and personalized. Therefore, the consumer group is no longer limited to middle-aged and elderly people. This kind of jewelry that has both traditional heritage and modern sense will become more and more popular among young people and has a broad market space.

Generally, the bezel setting method is used for large jadeite. Jade is usually inlaid with gold, platinum and rose gold. With diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other auxiliary stones. Generally speaking, when jade is paired with platinum, rose gold, and diamonds, it will be more modern if it is claw-set, while when jade is paired with gold, it will give a retro feel if it is bezel-set.

In terms of shape, the design of jade inlaid jewelry can be combined with traditional auspicious things, in addition to choosing auspicious patterns and words that are common to people. We can also make some abstract designs on this basis to make the accessories more modern and thus be accepted by more young consumers.

In terms of color matching, inlaying jade of different colors together will make its expression richer. Red, green, purple, and yellow respectively represent blessing, wealth, longevity, and happiness in jade. You can choose and match them according to different artistic conception, or you can choose the color of the matching stone.

With the joint efforts of jade carving masters and jewelry designers, the design space for jade jewelry such as "gold inlaid with jade" will become larger and larger, and will be favored by more and more consumers.

Jade used as an inlay is perfectly matched with gold and silver, giving this traditional ornament a whole new vitality, revealing a retro style and a sense of fashion. Designers have endowed jade with a more refined beauty through their unique designs.
