Jewelry embedding was a complicated and delicate process, and the embedding of jade was no exception. The first was the design stage. The designer had to draw up the design drafts. This process required many factors to be considered, such as novelty, uniqueness, fashion, elegance, high-end atmosphere, material craftsmanship, bare stone matching, brand concept, designer's style, and expression of the central idea. During this period, it might require many exchanges with the client before the final draft could be finalized. The next step was to carve the wax plate. If it was a hand-carved wax plate, the craftsman had to refer to the design drawings to carve the wax plate. The wax plate had to be smooth and flawless, have a reasonable structure, and the position and size of the inlaid gemstones were accurate. It could also be done with a computer. Then, there was the reverse mold, which could be used to cast the lost wax. If it was mass produced, there would be a different operation process, including planting wax trees, pouring plaster, baking plaster, casting, blasting and cleaning the plaster mold, cutting the casting, and so on. The molding process was all done by hand, using a special calendar knife to push back and forth on the surface of the jewelry. According to the design of the jewelry, the diamonds or jade that matched the color, cut, and size were hand-sorted. After that, it was time to embed the gemstone. This was an important step to test the craftsmanship of the master. For the embedding of jade, different embedding techniques had different characteristics and applications: - Claw setting: Use metal claws to fasten the gemstone. There are two types of single and group setting, which can maximize the beauty of the gemstone. The metal rarely covers the gemstone and can highlight the optical effect of the gemstone. - Nail embedding: Using small nails on the side of the gem to fix the gem. It is mostly used for the secondary stone embedding in the group embedding. The metal claws that fix the gem cannot be seen, but the gem can be tightly arranged in the metal groove. - Encasement: Encircle the gemstone with a metal edge. It is mostly used for larger or arched gemstones. This method is the most stable and can show the gemstone's light, peace, and dignified temperament. - Force-setting: The slot is made on the side of the inlaid opening, and the gem is placed in the slot to be firmly pressed. This method is commonly used for high-quality gemstones and high-grade secondary stones with high craftsmanship requirements. Some square and ladder-shaped gemstones are inlaid with this method. - Stuffed setting: Extruding a circle of metal around the edge of the setting and pressing the gemstone. It is mostly used for small gemstones. It will enlarge the visual effect but will cover part of the gemstone. - Wax setting: The gem is set in a wax model before casting, and the wax model is finally melted to form the finished product. It is relatively simple and is often used to set white stones and crystals. After that was polishing and electro-gold treatment. The metal surface and details were further polished. Some jewelry needed electro-gold treatment to make their surface smoother. Finally, it was the quality inspection stage. The finished jewelry was inspected. Those that did not meet the standards had to be returned to the previous process to be remade. Read more exciting novels for free

Although they were considered leftover materials, they still had a lot of value. From a cost perspective, the price of leftover materials was generally cheaper.

However, it was an opportunity for people who wanted to profit from processing the leftover materials or obtain unique jade products. In terms of processing and creation, the carving theme of the leftover materials was basically not limited, which could provide a broad creative space for the jade carving master.

There were many ways to embed pearls: 1. ** Kong Xiang ** - ** Half-hole embedding **: After the pearl is half-holed, apply a bit of pearl embedding glue on the needle of the precious metal base. Embed it into the pearl hole and let it stand for 24 hours to fix it. This is the most common method and has a market share of more than 90%. If the pearl fell off, remove the solidified glue on the bottom support and needle (you can use a needle, toothpick, or de-glue agent to soften the glue and remove it), and then stick it with pearl glue. - ** Full Hole Embedding **: For some jewelry styles that require pearls to be connected in series, the pearls should be punched in full holes, and a chain, needle, or thread should be passed through the pearls. The end should be fixed by welding or knotting. The hole setting method allowed the pearl to have more choices in style, such as matching with different bases such as six claws, diamonds, and hollow patterns. 2. [Claw Embedding: This method is commonly used for diamond and colored gemstones, but it is rarely used for pearls.] If a claw was used to fix a round pearl, the height of the metal claw was usually larger than the pearl radius, but this would cover the pearl area to a certain extent. Moreover, some claw inlaid pearl jewelry might cause wear on the surface of the pearl to ensure stability. If you want to change the pearl later, you need to consider this when buying the finished product. 3. Encasement: Surrounding the gem with a metal edge is the most stable method. It can cover up the flaws at the edge or bottom of the gem. If it was used to embed pearls, it had to cover at least half of the pearl. Therefore, it was only suitable for pearls with beautiful half faces and many flaws on the other half. However, pearls with a special semi-circular structure such as Mabei pearls were very suitable for embedding. 4. [Add a Cage: This is a method of embedding pearls without any damage. It is suitable for people who have flawless pearls but are unwilling to drill holes.] 5. ** Winding **: It is suitable for irregularly shaped pearls. Handcraft experts can make pearl jewelry by winding. Different embedding methods had their own characteristics. When choosing the embedding method, in addition to considering the quality and shape of the pearl, it was also necessary to consider the use of the jewelry, aesthetics, and later maintenance. At the same time, no matter what kind of inlaid pearl jewelry, it needed to be properly maintained. For example, avoid wearing pearl jewelry to swim or bathe, stay away from the kitchen smoke and fog, wipe it clean with a soft cloth after each wear, avoid direct sunlight or light for a long time, avoid too dry environment, avoid hard objects colliding, etc. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting.
