If you don’t know the secret of the “back cover” when buying inlaid jadeite, be careful not to waste money and regret it too late

Many people like to inlay jade because if it is well designed, it will be beautiful and can especially highlight a person's temperament. The editor would like to ask everyone, what do you pay attention to when buying inlaid jade? Are you all trying to identify the quality, inlay materials or craftsmanship of jadeite?

In fact, when buying inlaid jadeite, one should not only pay attention to the quality of the jadeite, but also the bottom of the inlaid jadeite. If the bottom of the jadeite is sealed, the raw jadeite inside is wrapped up, which will affect the quality of the jadeite.

Although having no sealing backing can help us see the essence of jadeite more clearly, sealing backing does not mean it is just to cover up the flaws of jadeite, so today I will talk to you about the sealing backing of inlaid jadeite.

What are the types of jadeite backing?


The back covering of jadeite can be roughly divided into three categories: "capping", "sealing" and "net sealing". "Opening the lid" means that after the jade is sealed, people can still open the lid to see the back of the jade, which is called "live bag". This sealing method makes it very convenient for people to identify jadeite.


"Sealing" means completely wrapping and sealing the back of the jadeite, which is also called "dead packing". In this way, you can't see the bottom of the jadeite at all. You can only see the front of the jadeite and the area that is not completely closed, which is not conducive to the observation of the jadeite.


"Net sealing" means using a mesh metal structure to seal the back of the jade. Due to the grid-like distribution, the back is still hollow, just like the "window" style, making it easier to see the appearance of the back of the jade.


If the back sealing method used for inlaid jade is "lid sealing" and "net sealing", it is relatively easy for us to observe the back of the jade. However, if this is the case, we usually cannot open the lid without the help of professional tools.

In this way, it is quite troublesome to seal the bottom of jadeite. It is better to leave it unsealed so that people can observe and identify it more easily. In this case, why should the bottom of inlaid jadeite be sealed? Is it good or bad to inlay a jade backing?

The benefits of inlaying jade backing

The biggest function of inlaid jade backing is to protect jade. It can effectively reduce the damage caused by collision and play a fixing role. It can also improve the comfort of wearing jade, prevent skin secretions from directly contacting jade, and prevent the jade from becoming dirty and dull, making it easier to clean and maintain on a daily basis.

Secondly, the bottom covering measures can also beautify jade products, allowing the jade color on the glass bottom to focus light, creating a better visual effect.

A piece of jade with vivid color and beautiful shape, unfortunately, has a little cotton and impurities inside. Using the backing effect treatment can visually dilute the effects of the cotton and impurities and achieve an optimized effect.


Disadvantages of Jadeite Back Cover


If the bottom of the inlaid jade is sealed, the buyer will not be able to see the full picture of the jade. Some merchants seal the bottom to cover the flaws on the back of the jade. The purpose is to prevent people from seeing the thickness and flaws of the jade. They can also pass inferior products off as good ones and increase the profit of the goods.

Therefore, when choosing jadeite with a sealed backing, it is recommended that you buy this type of inlaid jadeite with "live bags". This way, you can carefully check whether there are any problems with the jadeite, so as to avoid buying inferior goods and wasting money.
