The beauty of jade inlay, let you understand the jade inlay craftsmanship

As people's living standards continue to improve, their demand for and aesthetic standards for jade jewelry have also changed.

The inlaid jadeite is combined with fashion and exquisite craftsmanship, realizing the fusion of Western gem jewelry culture and Eastern jade culture.

Nowadays, there are more and more jade-inlaid jewelry on the market.

Jade inlay not only brings out the bright green color of jade, but also plays a certain protective role on the jade itself.

The exquisite jade inlay craftsmanship can further highlight the charm of jade.

The luster of precious metals blends harmoniously with the colorful jade, complementing each other, and the fashionable shape reveals a vigorous temperament.

The color of jadeite varies, some are bright and pleasing to the eye, some are pure and crystal clear. Jade is one of the representative jewelry of vitality and youthful vigor.

Jade inlay can make jade even more beautiful.

The texture of jade is moist and delicate, and after being carved by master sculptors, it has exquisite shapes.

And inlay has the magical effect of adding the finishing touch to it.

There are countless combinations and styles of jadeite.

Each piece of jade has its own unique shape, size and color. Designers will grasp its characteristics and use color matching and clever carving to produce various styles of jade jewelry.

Jade is usually inlaid with gold, platinum, or rose gold, and then decorated with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, etc. as auxiliary stones.

When jade is paired with white gold, rose gold and diamonds, the claw setting method will be more modern.

When jade is paired with gold and set in a bezel setting, it creates a retro feel.

Generally speaking, jade inlay can be divided into two categories: creative inlay and craft inlay .

Creatively inlaid jade, as an important part of realizing design creativity, is combined together in a certain way to become a complete creative jade jewelry.

Creative jade jewelry cannot be separated from careful design and conception.

Jadeite is inlaid with craftsmanship. The shape of this type of jewelry is generally simple, but it is widely used.

There are many kinds of inlay techniques.

Prong Setting

Claws refer to the small fine teeth that are welded on the ring setting, or they can be fine teeth that are machined on the ring setting.

This type of jewelry uses claws to press tightly on the edge of the jade stone, so it is called claw setting.

Common claw settings include four claws, six claws, and double eight claws.

Bezel

The bezel setting method does not use hooks, but instead uses a method of tightly arranging the jade.

The metal claws are completely invisible, and the entire piece looks as if it were sewn together with thread, with jade stones inlaid one by one along the gaps.

The basic method is to drill straight and parallel small grooves on the ring base, and the jade is inlaid in the grooves.

This setting method is most suitable for jade shapes in strips or long shapes.

Nail setting

The nails used in the nail setting method are shaped like claws. Small flat-topped "nails" protrude from the ring base and can press down the edge of the jade, thus riveting the jade in place.

The nails used in the nail setting method cannot be welded on.

When using the nail setting method, you must be careful not to make it too deep or too shallow. 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.

Buried Mounting

The buried setting method is also called "flat setting" or "muffled setting".

Its main feature is that it is not suitable for gem seats, but a hole is dug on the widened and thickened jade ring, the jade ring face is placed in the hole, and then the surrounding metal is pushed towards the jade to partially cover the jade.

The buried setting method is a relatively firm setting method, especially suitable for men's rings.

Jade inlay is not only beautiful, but also expands the collection and appreciation space of jade.

The perfect combination of jade and precious metals gives this traditional ornament a new vitality, revealing a retro, Chinese and fashionable style.

Inlaid jade is worth everyone's possession.
