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.
