1, split into two After some jades are damaged, designers and sculptors always analyze their original appearance according to their damage. After some clever thinking, they skillfully split them into two on the basis of the original carving and divide the original carving into two or more independent or related small pieces. This kind of restoration, because it is generally not abandoned, reduces or makes up for the original loss, and even the value of the restored jade is sometimes not inferior to the original price. A few years ago, the author saw an agate sculpture "Fu Lu Shou Xing" in a collector's room, which was composed of red bats, sika deer with different colors, Xiantao and the old man with the birthday star. It was very eye-catching. Later, when I went to see it again, there were "Birthday Blessing" and "Sika Deer" on the case list, but there was no "Fu Lushou Yesterday". After careful observation, I realized that it was accidentally knocked down by the owner, causing the deer to fall off and break a front leg. At that time, the owner was very heartbroken. After re-carving, it became two independent works: Birthday Birthday, A Big Heart and A Bat. Although a sika deer's broken forelegs have been transformed into legs waiting for striding, it is natural to carve grass and miscellaneous stones around the deer, which still gives people a complete feeling. This green jade pendant is very precious. Some collectors accidentally dropped them, and as a result, they became a pair of two unique earrings after repair. 2. Jade inlaid gold plate is a common process in the jewelry industry, such as inlaid rings, diamond rings, inlaid necklace pendants, inlaid earrings and so on. Gold inlaid with jade is easily reminiscent of the novel A Dream of Red Mansions, which is an auspicious sign. In addition, gold and jade are very precious, and their color matching is also very harmonious. Therefore, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign vessels and ornaments inlaid with gold and jade have always been favored. Jade inlay is not only a traditional craft, but also a skill applied to the restoration of jade. For example, jadeite and white jade bracelets are originally smooth and round. Only when they are smashed, a gold hoop will appear on the ring. Some damaged jade articles and jadeite ornaments can even reach a perfect and exquisite level after inlay, without showing a trace of flaws; Its scars and cracks are completely covered by the gorgeous carved gold appearance and the unified and harmonious combination of gold and jade. We once saw a dragon and phoenix cigarette holder carved with high green jade in an antique shop in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is said that it used to be the personal belongings of an old general. Due to years of changes and wars, its tip was knocked off. The old general was very upset and called several jade craftsmen to discuss how to repair it. At that time, he proposed two plans. One is that the cigarette holder is shortened after the transformation, and the overall image is out of proportion. Secondly, the two ends of the cigarette holder and cigarette butt are embedded with gold, which not only keeps the original size, but also does not affect the use. The old general supported the second plan. As a result, this expensive jade was restored to the golden dragon's mouth, with harmonious tone and no trace of repair, and it is still a rare treasure. 3. Re-trimming This is a clever re-creation on the premise of covering up and making up for the damage of jade articles. During their long artistic career, masters of art have created and accumulated many wonderful methods to deal with emergencies and re-dress, such as "removing the high to make up the low", "removing the fat to make up the thin", "making up the bad with the bad" and "making up the broken with the broken" and so on. In the early 1970s, we saw a beautifully carved white jade crab basin, which was a rare product: the basin was white and the crab shell was orange; The basin is thin and transparent, the crabs are lifelike, and the carving is very delicate. Unfortunately, there is a small hole pierced at the bottom of the basin, which is obviously accidentally poked, so the overall value of the work suddenly drops. Later, it was put in front of the master of fine arts. After careful consideration, master artists broke through the convention and turned the white jade basin into a flat basket made of rattan: the cooked crabs were placed on rattan craft vessels, which made the folk customs more rich and reasonable, leaving no traces of decoration, which was a story in the jade carving world at that time. The retouching method is also widely used in today's sculpture industry, but it requires a high degree of sculptor's design, because it has no escape rule and can only be used flexibly according to the specific situation of the work. It is not easy to be surprisingly innovative and leave no flaws. 4. Fracture bonding jadeite is broken. In modern times, it is also useful to repair it by bonding. Repaired well, even "shoddy". Mr. Li Gengfu, a collector in Taiwan Province Province, once introduced this case. One year, he bought a jade cong from the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the Hong Kong market, which was light yellow. After going home for a period of time, I looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass and found a crack running through the corner of the jade cong. Mr. Li Lao boiled the jade cong in boiling water. When the jade cong is boiled in boiling water, it will show its true colors. It turns out that this is a piece of broken jade cong stuck together. At high temperature, the original glue was lost. So this jade is heavy and broken, revealing flaws. Generally speaking, after the jade is damaged, it is not cost-effective, unsatisfactory, or unable to be re-carved. The general operation flow of this bonding method is as follows: firstly, the cracked surface is carefully cleaned, then the high-efficiency adhesive (polyvinyl acetate floating agent or epoxy-based resin) is evenly coated, then carefully aligned in situ, forcibly bonded, the cracked adhesive is extruded, and then erased with acetone. In the process of glue solidification, it is best to fix it with adhesive tape or press it with heavy objects to avoid dislocation. 5. The jade carving pendant was accidentally dropped, and some of it was not broken but only touched a small piece, but it was "disfigured" after all. So people thought of how to "facelift" it, and the way is to make up for it. There are two ways to make up: one is to make up. Many years ago, a friend presented a cicada ornament of the Ming Dynasty, which was the size of a peanut shell and made of white jade and sheep fat. Exquisite carving, lifelike, is the top grade. However, under the fluorescent lamp, careful observation with a magnifying glass finally caught the "flaw" and found traces of filling on the back of the cicada ornament near the wing root. Jade carvings are usually filled with synthetic resin mixed with talcum powder, painted on the missing parts and decorated with plastic carvings. In order to make the color of the repaired part consistent with the color of the jade around it, the same and the same color raw materials of the repaired jade should be ground into powder, such as malachite and lapis lazuli. It is also useful to mix raw materials of the same color into the filler and then fill it. The filler of cicada ornaments is not synthetic resin, but made of sealing wax and blending pigment, and then the wax surface is smoothed with a hot knife and polished slightly. Because the missing piece is very small, it is difficult to detect. Besides making up, you can also make up. Some jade articles have been placed for many years, and when they are inadvertently lost or knocked down, one of them is a very small but critical "part", thus causing a sense of disability. The remedy is to re-make a "part" that is the same as jade, and use synthetic resin talcum powder as a supplement or the current scientific substitute, flip the mold and inject it or use high-temperature oxygen blowing to connect it to the missing part. Because "parts" are subtle, they can be "filled" when put on. There is a tourist shopping center in Shanghai. A chain or crystal hexagonal lotus lamp is displayed in its window cabinet. Carefully crafted and weighed, the three long chains are particularly eye-catching: each chain has 18 knots, which are uniform in size and naturally hang down from the top cover to the hexagonal lotus shoulder. One day, an old gentleman from the jade carving factory accompanied the foreign guests to visit, and he was also amazed at the work. When the shop assistant showed this work to the old man for careful appreciation, he found that one of the chains had been repaired by "adding oil and vinegar" under the magnifying glass, instead of "original flavor". In this case, the work loses its original value. Generally speaking, although it loses a lot in economic value, it can still retain most of its original characteristics in artistic appreciation, which can also be called a method taken when it is impossible. Emerald is a kind of special "carpet structure" jade, known as the king of jade, so it is strong and not easy to break unless it collides with hard objects. However, jadeite is also fragile. In terms of style, some jadeite jewelry is easy to crack or break when it bumps. For example, a jade bracelet with a slightly smaller ring may accidentally slip off the ground because it is inconvenient to take and wear, resulting in cracking or fracture; There are also some jade ornaments with too thin styles, which are also easy to crack and break. So, what should I do when this happens to jade jewelry? Take a jade bracelet as an example. When the jade bracelet is touched or dropped, it can continue to be worn if the crack is not serious. If the crack is serious or falls into two pieces, according to the value of the jade bracelet, the method of setting jade with gold should be adopted, and the broken part should be covered with gold or silver. If it falls to three or more pieces, it cannot be treated with gold or silver. At this time, jewelry reorganization can be adopted to deal with it. If there are obvious green segments (or big green dots) in the jade bracelet, it can be processed into ring faces or small pendants such as hearts and jade peppers. Without green, it can also be processed into Guanyin or emerald color.

Q:

Did anyone buy a bad jade bracelet to process? I didn't buy the jade bracelet, but I accidentally broke the jade bracelet in the shop and lost 200 yuan. I had to take it home, and I don't know how much it costs. It's still fake. Because that shop is a private shop, mainly dealing in clothes and suitcases, there are only a few jade bracelets in front of the door, leaving only a narrow passage beside the jade bracelet table. I think that store set a trap on purpose. I don't know if that jade bracelet is worth processing and modifying. Processing costs money. How much can it be sold after processing? If someone takes it, I would rather sell it.

Answer:

The processing cost is about 100 yuan. No need to deal with it. Broken will be a disaster. Good luck, thank you.
