So, is it better to set jade with gold or silver? This puzzle finally has an answer today! Many jade styles need to be inlaid, which brings up a question: what material should be used for inlay? Nowadays, the main materials used to inlay jadeite on the market are K-gold and silver. So, is jadeite more suitable to be inlaid with K-gold or silver?

1. Use K gold instead of pure gold? It’s really not because of being stingy! Let’s first talk about the “gold” used for inlay. We all know that the gold used to inlay jade is not pure gold, but K gold mixed with other metals. Is it because businessmen are too stingy to use pure gold?

In fact, even if he was willing to use pure gold to inlay jadeite, we would not dare to wear it! Although pure gold is valuable, its hardness is too low (it can be deformed by bare hands...), and it cannot fix jadeite at all. It will get deformed if you are not careful. Even the inlay base has been deformed. Can the inlaid jadeite still feel safe?

In order to make up for the shortcoming of hardness, K gold came into being: on the one hand, because of the addition of other metals, the hardness has been effectively improved, and there is no need to worry about the safety of jade; on the other hand, compared with pure gold, K gold has richer colors, and it also gives us more choices to meet our different preferences.

2. Silver inlay: retro and traditional. Gold and silver are both symbols of wealth, but compared with gold, the style of silver jewelry appears to be a lot more "fresh", and it has its own Chinese style and is particularly tasteful. Since ancient times, silver jewelry has been a popular type of jewelry. From wealthy families to ordinary people, every home has a few pieces of silver jewelry. Costume dramas often feature plots such as "testing poison with a silver needle" and "avoiding poison with a silver bowl." Of course, silver jewelry does not have such magical functions and cannot make you "immune to all poisons", but it does have the effect of killing bacteria and disinfecting. Wearing silver jewelry regularly is very good for the body, and it can also bring good luck and ward off evil spirits, keeping you away from bad energy.

Compared with K gold, jade inlaid in silver is not very common, because silver is easy to deform, and if not properly maintained it will easily oxidize and turn black, affecting the appearance; plus the price of silver is not high, so if it is used to inlay valuable jade, it is inevitable that there is a sense of incongruity. However, precisely because of its affordable price, it is perfect for inlaying some affordable jadeite.

Summary: Currently, most of the inlaid jade on the market are still made of K gold, because of its strong plasticity, good firmness and durability, suitable for long-term wear, plus K gold has rich colors, colors like rose gold are especially popular among women, therefore, K gold has become the mainstream of jade inlay. However, jadeite inlaid in silver also has its own advantages. If you buy jadeite worth a few hundred yuan and spend too much money on inlaying it, you will inevitably feel that "soy sauce is more expensive than chicken". In this case, silver inlay is sufficient.

Therefore, if the price of jade is relatively high, K gold inlay is recommended, which can not only be worn for a long time, but also is more stable and reliable; if the price of jade is relatively affordable, or you like to change the inlay style frequently, then silver inlay will be more suitable for your needs!
