So, jewelry is the same. At present, most jewelry is carved by machine, and few are handmade. In ancient times, because there was no machine, it could only be done by hand, and the hardness of jewelry was relatively high, so it took a lot of manpower and material resources to carve a good jewelry shape. In addition, the ancients at that time did not have strict requirements for the modeling of jewelry, so the appearance was poor.
Many jewels in the Forbidden City have a history of thousands of years. So in these thousands of years, with the passage of time, the shape of jewelry will change due to environmental reasons, but the craftsmanship of the ancients is still superb. Because many of the jewels in the Forbidden City are imitations, if they are genuine, they will be kept very tightly to prevent them from being destroyed by environmental and external factors.
So under the illumination of light and jewelry, the light projected by jewelry is not so thorough. In fact, many jewelry collections in the Forbidden City are replicas. Although ancient jewelry has been copied, the luster of jewelry itself cannot be copied. So, even if the jewelry you see is not very good in shape, the gloss is very poor. However, because the handicrafts at that time were all handmade, they can reflect the handicrafts of the ancients. Seeing the development of handicrafts, the history and culture behind jewelry cannot be copied.
Even if the jewelry is beautiful, the color is beautiful and the gloss is strong, it is also the value of the jewelry itself.
