Jade Dressing Diary, are you the biological mother or the stepmother?

It is said that Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes. In fact, jade is just like people. Even if it is naturally beautiful, it still needs to be dressed up. Depending on the different shapes, some are beautiful girls, some are ladies from wealthy families, and some are rich ladies... Do you want to know how to inlay jade to make it look good? Let’s learn about it together below.

Jadeite Setting Style

There are many different styles of jade inlay, which can be roughly divided into two categories. One is based on the cost of inlay, which is divided into three levels: simple inlay, ordinary inlay and luxurious inlay; the other is based on the design style, which is divided into two types: traditional style and design style.

1. Based on cost

The cost of inlay is mainly determined by the material used. The better the material, the higher the cost. It is like the difference between a thorny cloth skirt and silk and satin. Depending on the cost, it can be divided into three levels: simple inlay, ordinary inlay and luxurious inlay .

1. Simple inlay

Simple inlay means simple inlay, and the materials used are either relatively ordinary or small, such as gold, silver, or even wire winding.

Take wire winding for example. It is a popular inlay method among jade lovers in recent years. Firstly, the material is cheap. Secondly, you can DIY it yourself and try various patterns. If done well, it will be beautiful and cheap, and very cost-effective.

2. General inlay

General inlay refers to ordinary inlay, which mostly uses a combination of K gold and small diamonds. The inlay cost is generally around a few hundred to a few thousand. Most jade inlays are within this range.

3. Luxurious inlay

Hao inlay means luxurious inlay, also called heavy inlay. It uses many good materials and full of weight, such as large gold diamonds plus colored gems, pearls, etc. It is bound to make people feel luxurious, exquisite and extravagant at first glance.

As for which specific grade to choose, in addition to doing what you can and what your wallet says, you should also consider the quality of the jade itself. For jade that is not of very good quality, it is not recommended to use too good inlays, otherwise you will not look like a prince even if you put on a dragon robe. For jade that is of good quality, you cannot compromise on it, you must spend a lot of money to live up to its natural beauty.

2. Classification by design

As jade becomes more and more popular, there are more and more styles of jade inlay. Generally speaking, they can be divided into two types: one is the common classic traditional style, and the other is the fashionable and unique personality style.

1. Classical tradition

The so-called classic traditional styles are very common styles that have been used for a long time and many times. They are similar in style and are simple and generous. They do not require much thought in design and can be inlaid quickly and in a short time , and can be completed in two or three days.

2. Unique personality

Unique designs refer to some rare or even one-of-a-kind styles, which can be customized privately, but the cost is relatively high and the setting time is also very long , sometimes even taking a year or two.

These two options have their own advantages. Generally speaking, young people prefer personalized styles, while older people appreciate traditional styles. However, as long as the style is good and the quality of the jade is good, and it is matched appropriately, the charm of jade can be shown.

Jadeite inlay modification

If you are not satisfied with the inlay effect, or want to change the style, you can also ask the merchant to modify it to make the jade shine again.

▲Before the facelift

Taking the ring above as an example, the style before the modification was rather tacky, and the color of the jade was also light, not high-end enough.

▲After the facelift

After the facelift, the style became simpler and more elegant , with a more beautiful and charming feel. The design of the back cover also took the quality and color of the jadeite to a higher level. It can be said to be a very successful facelift.

In fact, compared to directly buying pre-set jade jewelry, many jade lovers prefer to buy loose stones and then find someone to set them. Whether it is simple or gorgeous, elegant or fashionable, it all depends on personal preference.

Some people say that inlay is the second life of jewelry , and this is naturally true for jade jewelry. If the quality of the jade itself is average, it can be transformed into something magical through clever inlay design. If the jade itself is of excellent quality, then good inlay will be the icing on the cake. The final effect of the inlay depends entirely on the degree of care, which depends on whether you are the biological mother or the stepmother.
