Jewelry sounds tall, but if you talk about jewelry alone, in fact, every woman must have at least a few pieces. Maybe the price is not high, it may be expensive, some are afraid to wear it for fear of injury, and some like it too much to take it off. Although most jewelry has "durability" and becomes precious, although it is not necessary to be careful, it is inevitable to wear it properly, so that it can last longer whether it is preserved or worn.
The most common-common crystal varieties: crystal, tourmaline, garnet, aquamarine, obsidian, Shudulai, lapis lazuli, etc.

Scope: For the crystals here, Bian Xiao will learn about the owners of Donghai Crystal City and small shops for the time being, and use the broad concept of "crystal"-silicate semi-precious stones. Why is silicate semi-precious stone called crystal? Because the basic chemical composition is similar. Silicate gemstones account for about 40% of the total gemstones, which can be regarded as a major category of gemstones.
How to wear it: Crystal semi-precious stones can be used as semi-precious stones, but the hardness is not low, and ordinary knockoffs can still bear it. However, the crystal is often worn as a bracelet, which makes the wrist easier to be broken, so try to avoid sudden and strong breaking. There are many varieties with internal cracks, such as ordinary tourmaline garnet, and the probability of fragmentation is high.
△ tourmaline
Cleaning method: the daily penetration rate of crystal ornaments is high, and there are many people wearing them, and the prices are different. Ordinary beads can be wiped regularly to avoid surface scaling; If scaling has occurred, it can be wiped with a soft cloth and then wiped with a dry cloth; If you must wash with water, you should avoid water containing chemical reagents and use less cleaning agents. If there is inlaid jewelry, it must be cleaned after washing to avoid chemical changes in the metal parts.
Wiping method: The hardness of crystal gemstones is not too low, and it is not a gem, but the wear resistance is different, so it is recommended to use a clean soft cloth when wiping, such as a special cloth for electronic screens or glasses. If it is temporary cleaning, you can also use a paper towel with high softness, but don't rub it hard. There are many small hard objects in the paper towel that will wear the surface of the gem.
Common sense: Does the crystal really need degaussing?
Many people think that crystal has strong magnetic field energy, which can help people ward off evil spirits and turn them into positive energy. However, at the same time of transformation, the crystal will absorb a lot of negative energy, so the energy field will be weakened, so it is necessary to degauss regularly to remove negative energy. In fact, the best degaussing method is correct cleaning and maintenance. First of all, make sure that your crystal is not polluted by any dust, so as to keep a certain amount of energy at all times.
The most expensive-high-grade gemstone varieties: diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald, cat's eye emerald. Scope: There is a clear and unified international standard for high-grade gemstones, namely, the top five gemstones in the world.
△ diamond
The best way: Because high-grade jewelry is expensive, although the hardness is high, once it is injured, the loss is irreversible, so it is recommended to go to a professional jewelry store for professional cleaning and maintenance on a regular basis.
Wear and maintenance: It's best to take it off and put it away before sleeping, taking a bath, exercising and doing housework, so as to avoid collision of strenuous exercise, soaking in turbid water and erosion of oil smoke.
Storage and maintenance: the hardness of high-grade gems is relatively high, and if they collide with each other, the probability of damage is also relatively high, so try to ensure independence when storing. For example, it can be stored separately in soft cloth bags or in some jewelry boxes to ensure that gems and metals will not collide with each other.
△ Ruby
Renovation and maintenance: Many shops or customized businesses provide regular maintenance services. In addition to professional cleaning of gems, they will also help you check whether the inlaid interface is reliable. Including daily wear, if you feel that the gemstone is loose, please try to repair it and reinforce it. Even if it is not loose, worn or dull, it can be polished again every few years to make the gem glow again. Of course, re-grinding and polishing will consume the weight of gems to some extent.
Common sense: Should we pay attention to the maintenance of high-grade gems?
Although Bian Xiao advocates that it is best to send high-grade gemstones to professional shops or repair points for maintenance, most people should also pay attention when sending them for repair. Many unscrupulous merchants will take a fancy to the nobleness of precious stones, and will steal dragons for phoenix after repair, and exchange fakes for truth. Then it's best to send it to a place you trust for inspection and renovation, or make a treasure map before sending it for repair to make sure that your gem is the same before and after sending it for repair.
The most common black precious metals are platinum, platinum, gold and silver.
Scope of application: Jewelry is inseparable from precious stones and the best shaper-metal. The most commonly used metals for setting gems are Pt platinum and K platinum, among which gold and rose gold are also very popular. Gold and silver are often used alone to design jewelry.
△ 18K gold
Deformation resistance: Precious metal jewelry has high toughness and low hardness, and it is easy to sag and deform. Pay attention to minimize external influences when wearing. The wearing of precious metal jewelry itself attaches great importance to the creation of design forms. If it is deformed, it will greatly hinder the appearance. But as a hedge, it is not affected.
Anti-discoloration: Precious metal jewelry is also easy to fade or become very dim, because the metal itself is also extracted from metal minerals, but its surface molecular formula is still very unstable, and it is easy to react with other chemical components in the air. The most typical example is that metallic silver will turn black when worn for a long time. In fact, it reacts with the "sulfur" in the air and returns to the state of black raw ore. Chemicals in the air can still make silver black, and human sweat or other chemicals react faster, so be careful when wearing sweat and dry it as soon as possible after pollution.
△ gold
Common sense: Wipe clean surfaces regularly.
The price of precious metal jewelry is often not as high as that of precious stones, nor is it so fragile. Some maintenance work can be done at home. For example, the most commonly worn silver jewelry can be cleaned with toothpaste immediately after it turns black, and the tiny particles in the toothpaste can react with acidic components and oxidize the surface. If it is other metal inlaid gems, remember to dry the metal part after washing the gem, so as not to accelerate the chemical reaction and discolor the metal.
The most fragile-jadeite jadeite common varieties: jadeite, hetian jade, jadeite, south red agate, etc.: From a professional point of view, jadeite and nephrite are the most.
△ Emerald
Collision avoidance: Both jadeite and Hetian jade are not low in hardness, but because they are polycrystalline aggregates, they are very brittle, and the internal structure is relatively loose, with many dark cracks and fine lines. Therefore, it is often heard that jade is completely smashed, and this collision is irreversible.
Liquid-repellent: Jade jade has many functions and benefits, especially when people and jade absorb trace elements contained in jade in friction, and jade will become more spiritual, which is regarded as "people and jade repair each other". However, human sweat is harmful to jade. After long-term contact, the jade scales are dim and slowly erode the inside. In addition, many chemical cleaners you will come into contact with when doing housework, including the fragrance commonly used by women, will have a bad erosion effect on jade, so it is best to remove jade jewelry before contacting chemical reagents.
△ Hotan jade
Avoid cold and heat: As mentioned above, jade itself has many dark cracks and fine lines, and its structure is uneven. Therefore, it is also necessary to avoid sun exposure or fire baking at high temperature, which is easy to expand and contract when heated.
Common sense: don't throw away the broken jade?
Since jadeite jade is easily broken, once it is broken irretrievably, is it really broken and needs to be thrown away? Too bad? The bracelet is broken, and the rest can be reconnected with precious metals. It is a new bracelet with gold inlaid with jade. If the remaining part is too small, or the big pendant is broken, you can re-polish the sharp edge with the most complete part to make a new small pendant or accessory.
Lightest-common wooden bracelets: lobular rosewood, agarwood, Xingyue Bodhi, etc. : the most common bodhi and spice wood now.
△ lobular rosewood
Correct rubbing method: Many clogs have a short process when they are first introduced, and they need to be rubbed with white cotton cloth or white gloves for a period of time. This is mainly to ensure that the protective film on the surface of wooden beads can prevent dirt from entering or damaging wooden beads when the quota has not been formed in the early stage.
The dish is right: although human fat can protect the conjunctiva on the surface of wooden beads, it is not advisable to play with the dish with sweaty or greasy hands. You can wipe it a little before serving and keep it relatively dry and clean. In addition, we should pay attention to the uniformity of the plate, so that the surface of the bead holes and beads can be polished evenly.
△ Xingyue Bodhi
Right: The temperature difference is large in many places in winter, and so is the indoor and outdoor temperature difference in the north. Wood bodhi with beads inside the wood grain is easy to expand with heat and contract with cold under large temperature difference. Although it is different from jadeite jade in the way of cracking after thermal expansion and cold contraction, more attention should be paid to it. For example, if you really want to wear beads, you can wear them on your hands when you go out, so that while keeping the beads warm, you can also let your hands move, promote blood circulation and reduce fever.
Common sense: Don't use second-hand wooden bracelets.
Like other jewels and jade, bracelets are spiritual, and are similar to the owner's aura for a long time, which is good for the owner. But these premises are based on the self-integration of Buddha and bead, thus cultivating this long-term tacit understanding and spirituality. Of course, it is ok to give gifts. The new bracelet is used for giving gifts, which has different good meanings of gem and jade. But second-hand goods that have been sold, especially those that have been sold for a long time, should be avoided as much as possible.
