Inlay craftsmanship of jade jewelry, do you know which one you have in your hand?

Prong Setting

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

Nail setting

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

Forced Mounting

There are no hooks, and the gems are set tightly together. The metal claws are completely invisible, and the gems are set one by one along the gap, just like they were sewn together with thread. 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.

Tube Mounting

It is basically similar to the forced setting method and is mostly used for round, oval, and egg-shaped gemstones. The drilled groove only needs to be the same as the circular edge of the gemstone and does not need to be parallel.

Mosaic

A small deep groove with a narrow mouth and a wide bottom is opened on the finished product with cracks, and round gold or silver wire strips are pressed into the groove to serve as a connection and decoration. It is both beautiful and practical, and is commonly known as gold inlaid jade.

Card Mounting

Use metal tension to fix the diamond's girdle or the girdle and bottom tip.

Hidden inlay

Also known as smear setting, it is a method of setting diamonds in thicker or larger parts of the metal. The pavilion of the diamond will not be exposed. It is a very stable and durable setting method.

"Wire pressing and inlaying" method

Generally, a small deep groove with a narrow mouth and a wide bottom is opened on the finished product with cracks, and round gold or silver wire strips are pressed into the groove to serve as a connection and decoration. It is both beautiful and practical, and is commonly known as "gold inlaid with jade".

Track mosaic method

It is also called forced setting: no hooks are used, but the gems are tightly arranged. The metal claws are completely invisible, and the gems are set one by one along the gap, just like being sewn with thread. 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.

Dense Cluster Mosaic

The dense cluster setting method generally involves densely and symmetrically setting smaller gemstones together, fixing them with shared claws. This setting method is generally used for group setting of accessories around the main stone, which can make the main stone appear more noble and important.

Regardless of the inlay method, exquisite craftsmanship is required to fully display the beauty of jade. Craftsmanship is also a science, and its difficulty in production should not be underestimated. The creation of each fine product requires the craftsman's superb craftsmanship, and every detail of the craftsmanship requires a lot of patience, care, wisdom and sweat. Because of this, the jewelry created by precious natural jade and exquisite craftsmanship is even more touching and admirable.
