What materials are mainly used for jade inlay?
Platinum and platinum group minerals are equiaxed crystals, with few single crystals and occasionally cubic or octahedral fine crystals.
Palladium is actually a kind of platinum. Its appearance is similar to platinum, with silver metallic luster and bright color. The specific gravity is 12, which is lighter than platinum and has strong ductility. In addition, silver, imitation gold, gold plating, gold plating and other materials are often used to inlay jade ornaments. The mosaic technology of jadeite combines jadeite and metal skillfully, and is born out of ordinary jadeite.
Pure gold? That is, 24K gold or 9999 thousand gold is precious metal. Because of its soft texture, it can best highlight the exquisite craftsmanship and details of jewelry design. Pure gold is thick yellow and not easy to oxidize. If properly cared for, the color will remain bright for a long time.
It is easy to fall off when setting gems because of insufficient strength. Therefore, people add silver, copper, zinc and other metals to gold to increase its strength and toughness. The gold ornaments made in this way are also called K gold. (Dr. JD Hao Jewelry answers)
