Do you really understand the craft of jadeite inlay?

Craft inlay

Most of the time, for the purpose of protecting jade and increasing the beauty of jade jewelry, this type of inlay is generally relatively simple, but it is widely used! Let's take a look at the methods and techniques of jadeite inlay

1. Claw setting method (grasp setting method): Claws refer to the small fine teeth welded on the ring setting, and the fine teeth can also be machined from the ring setting. The claws are used to press the edge of the stone tightly, so it is called claw setting method. It is generally divided into four claws, six claws, and double eight claws.

2. Forced setting method (slot setting method): No hooks are used, but the gems are tightly arranged. The metal claws are completely invisible, just like sewing with thread, and the gems are set one by one along the gap. The basic method is to drill straight and parallel small grooves on the ring setting, and the gems are set in the grooves. This setting method is most suitable for bar-shaped or long gems.

3. Nail setting method (hard setting method): The nail is shaped like a claw, and is a small flat-top "nail" that can press down the edge of the gemstone from the ring setting. The nail rivets the gemstone, and the nail cannot be welded on separately. When using the nail setting method, you must pay attention to the fact that the gemstone should not be too deep or too shallow, and it should be coordinated and symmetrical with the ring setting. There are three types of nail setting methods: four-nail setting, diagonal nail setting and dense nail setting.
