What if there is a crack in the jade bracelet?
People who wear jade bracelets are usually very careful. However, some people think that jadeite is hard and strong without breaking. In fact, when the bracelet falls to the ground or collides violently, the surface looks intact, but it actually contains cracks, but in one case, the cracks are very fine and not easy to be detected by the naked eye. If there is another collision in the future, hidden dangers will be exposed and sudden fractures will be inevitable. Wearing a jade bracelet every day will inevitably lead to some bumps. Some jade bracelets are prone to crack under long-term collision. What if the jade bracelet is cracked?
1. First of all, if the jewelry is damaged, you can go to the jade jewelry manufacturer or jewelry processing shop to see if it is worth repairing. If the material is of high quality, there is room for repair or reorganization (it is an irrelevant part that has been knocked out, such as a blade tip, a Buddha's light and so on). ), you can polish it, re-polish it or add gold. If it is badly broken, it can't be repaired. If the value is not high, it is better to give up and choose one that suits you. Give it up! Give it up! What you give is what you get.
2. Aesthetic restoration
The so-called aesthetic restoration refers to the pure beautification and mosaic treatment of the small cracks on the jade bracelet, which basically does not threaten the firmness of the jade bracelet. It is a mosaic treatment method to cover up or modify the tiny cracks on the surface of the jade bracelet. Aesthetic restoration is only for the treatment of small cracks that are not deep on the surface of the jade bracelet and only float on the surface, but have a great influence on the appearance of the jade bracelet. Conventionally, 24K cloisonne inlay is used to repair and gently cover up the defects on jade. Before painting gold, the jade carving tool is used to draw a groove pattern with certain aesthetic effect on the surface of tiny cracks, and then the groove is filled with precious metals with low hardness by extrusion, so as to cover up the cracks and beautify the jade bracelet.
Step 3 reinforce and repair
Reinforcement repair is a mosaic repair method for cracks in jade bracelets, which may threaten the firmness when worn. Although this repair method will cause some damage to the jade bracelet, it will strengthen the jade bracelet and reduce the possibility of damage during wearing. The crack direction of the jade bracelet is parallel to the cross section of the jade bracelet, and the crack is deep, which is the most likely to cause the jade bracelet to break. At this time, it is best to use reinforcement repair method to repair. In order to achieve the reinforcement effect, rivets must be used on both sides of the crack. As the saying goes, a thousand dollars can't buy gold inlaid with jade. If a certain metal pattern can be used for reinforcement and repair, it can not only prevent the crack from expanding, but also beautify the jade bracelet. Here are two good examples:
1, the crack is slightly obvious, but concentrated in one position, and the pattern can be inlaid with precious metals, which not only has beautiful effects, but also has beautiful implications.
2. The area occupied by cracks in the jade bracelet is slightly larger. Cover the cracks in the jade bracelet with a totem with symbolic or beautiful meaning. Unique pattern design allows you to show your unique elegance in the crowd.
4. Where can I repair the broken jade bracelet?
Broken jade bracelets can be repaired, and the best workmanship is a large jewelry factory. However, the repair of jade bracelets is a combination of jade carving and inlay, which is difficult. Large manufacturers are unwilling to take orders (except for large quantities), and small workshops can't do well. The work in the small workshop is very poor, even the bean curd residue project, horse manure covered with a bag of bran, people who understand dare not compliment. Jewelry processing plants are mostly located in places where jewelry or jade are concentrated, such as Guangdong, Yunnan and other jewelry and jade distribution centers. There are only small gold shops in the streets of the north and the mainland, and there are almost no jewelry processing factories. If the value of the jade bracelet is very low, or it has certain commemorative significance, it is better to buy another one.
