Jade inlay, timeless classic

For oriental women, jade has a mysterious allure. The exquisite jade inlay craftsmanship combines oriental classics with western fashion elements, further highlighting the charm of jade.

The metallic luster blends harmoniously with the emerald green, exuding an elegant and fashionable atmosphere. Jadeite shines with fashionable brilliance under the modern carving and inlaying techniques. So, how is the beautiful jadeite inlaid? What inlay material is most suitable for jadeite?

The setting of jade is a tedious and delicate process. Any small mistake may cause damage to the jadeite raw stone or deviation in details, thus resulting in the jadeite jewelry not being perfectly created.

The inlay process is generally divided into many delicate processes such as computer pattern making, metal pattern making, computer wax spraying, mold pouring, welding, mold holding, inlaying, polishing, electroplating, etc.

Inlay is a processing method that allows jade to show its nobility. Through design and the use of metal inlay, the luster and gloss of jade can be displayed to the maximum extent, and the metal texture can complement each other, making the jade more dazzling.

Usually, inlay requires a variety of materials such as precious metals, colored gems and diamonds. Precious metals refer to gold, silver, amber, etc., and colored gems refer to colored gems such as ruby ​​and sapphire. Different materials have different beauty.

K gold is the most common material for jade inlay. The reason why pure gold is not used is that pure gold is too soft and not hard enough to be fixed for a long time. K gold has added metals such as silver, copper, and zinc to increase its strength and toughness. It has stable physical properties, is not easy to oxidize and fade, and has rich colors. It is a very good inlay material.

Silver is pure white in color, has a strong metallic luster, and is highly ductile, but it is too soft and the surface easily turns black and loses color. Therefore, the silver commonly used for inlay is 925 silver.

Platinum is also a commonly used material for jade inlay. Pure platinum is silvery white, beautiful in color, has a metallic luster, strong ductility, is resistant to melting, friction and corrosion, has extremely stable chemical properties, and is antioxidant, requiring no complicated maintenance.

Most of the diamonds used in jadeite setting are broken diamonds, that is, very small diamonds. The crystal clear and sparkling diamonds, through arrangement and combination, together with the inlaid main stones, use the metallic texture to set off the smoothness of the jadeite, with excellent effect.

Colored gemstones are common but not necessary inlay materials in jade inlays. They are rich and bright in color and usually appear as a finishing touch or in more luxurious inlays. The most commonly used colored gems in jadeite are rubies and sapphires.

The beauty of jade is combined with fashion, either retro luxury or romantic elegance, and is coupled with the good luck of "a perfect match between gold and jade". No matter what the occasion, it can make the wearer a beautiful landscape.
