How are jade bracelets processed and made?

From the plain-looking raw jade to the exquisite and gorgeous finished product, this gorgeous transformation is not only thanks to the blessing of nature, which has given us such a precious gem, but also to the wisdom of mankind, which has carefully designed and carved it so that we can have such a beauty.

There are various exquisite jade bracelets on the market. Their texture is delicate and smooth, and their clarity and translucence highlight the dignified and elegant charm and temperament of oriental women. They are loved by many female friends, but many people do not know how they are made. Today I will reveal to you how a jade bracelet is processed from a piece of raw stone and displayed gorgeously before our eyes.

1. Material selection

Generally, an opening is made on the surface of the original stone, or the skin is scraped off, and the internal conditions can be observed under a light. Of course, you can also choose semi-transparent material and directly cut it to show a large cross-section. This is more conducive to determining the quality of the raw materials and is also safer. Then, we judge whether it can be made into a bracelet based on the cracks in the raw material. Only then can we consider making other pendants, beads, finishes, etc. Therefore, the material requirements for making bracelets are very high.


2. Cutting

The raw material is further sliced ​​into sheets, so that the color and texture of the entire material can be seen, and the color and quality of the bracelet can also be determined.

3. Check the material with lighting

After cutting the material, turn on the light to examine the material and further observe the cracks, flaws, etc. of the jade in order to draw the bracelet position.


4. Draw the bracelet

Drawing the bracelet position is also the most critical step, which determines the quality and quantity of the produced bracelets. First of all, you must avoid cracks, and then make good use of colors. Try to focus on colors. If you can draw two bracelets, never draw only one. Take both color and quantity into consideration to achieve the best color distribution and the largest output.


5. Press the bracelet ring

After drawing the bracelet position, fix the sheet on a special diamond drill lathe, and press down the drill to suck out the outer embryo according to the size of the outer ring of the bracelet. This step is also called "sucking the outer embryo".


6. Press the bracelet heart

Fix the drilled bracelet outer embryo on the machine tool, and drill out the bracelet center according to the inner circle size drawn on the bracelet position, which is also called "sucking the inner embryo". In this way, we get a rough bracelet embryo.


7. Polish the outer ring

According to the required size of the bracelet, the outer ring of the rough blank is polished out to remove the edges and corners, and some cracks and defects can also be removed.

8. Grinding the inner ring

Polish the inner ring of the bracelet. At this time, it depends on the needs. The shape of the bracelet is generally divided into round bars and flat bars. The bar of the round bracelet is round, and the inner ring surface is arc-shaped, while the bar of the flat bracelet is bow-shaped or semi-circular, and the inner ring surface is polished flat.

9. Polishing

After polishing, the bracelet is de-sanded and polished, and polished from the inside to the outside multiple times until the bracelet shows the best gloss. This step makes the bracelet brighter and smoother, more beautiful and more comfortable to wear.


10. Finished product

After a series of operations, we get a finished bracelet that is crystal clear, shiny and full of luster. It is elegant, fashionable and versatile.

The above is the entire processing process of the bracelet. After reading it, do you think that an exquisite jade bracelet is hard to come by and that it is expensive for a reason? I can only say that beautiful things are never simple~
