1. When there is dust and dirt on the surface of jade jewelry, you can gently wipe it with fine silk cloth. When there is oil stain, you can wash it with detergent or warm alkaline water first. After air-drying, wipe all parts evenly with absorbent cotton dipped in a small amount of tea oil or peanut oil to restore the original luster.
2, jade jewelry is the most taboo dry high temperature, should avoid exposure or long-term exposure to high temperature environment. Jade is usually fine in texture and bright in color, but when it is dry in autumn and winter or hot in summer, the surface is easy to become dry and dull.
Therefore, jade jewelry should be "oily", which can be worn frequently, maintained by the oil secreted by the human body, or artificially added with white tea oil or peanut oil. Of course, it can also be stored in a warm environment to avoid cracking.
To sum up, there are three points in the maintenance of jade and jade ornaments: the first is to avoid hitting hard and damaging the ornaments. The second is to avoid high temperature exposure, so as not to lose water, resulting in drying and discoloration.
The third is to wear it often, and often soak the brush with a soft cloth or brush to remove the dirt left on it. May all those who love jade and jade "cultivate" good jade and jade and "cultivate" beauty.
In addition, keep humidity if you don't wear it for a long time. It is very important to prevent jade from losing water.
2. Seek knowledge of jade bracelets
1. Yours is a jade bracelet. Since it is not Guanyin or Buddha, there is no taboo. As for what jade to wear at what age, it mainly depends on the economic situation and personal preferences, and is generally not required.
It would be a pity if you don't want this jade bracelet. You can go to the gold shop and wrap a circle of gold in the crack. Everyone in the gold shop should know. This improves the grade of jade and prevents the crack from expanding further. Just pay attention to protect the bracelet in the future, such as taking off clothes, gloves or doing housework carefully, and be careful not to shake your arms and hands hard, so that the bracelet will fall off more easily.
3. When the jade bracelet slides between wrists, it can naturally get a wrist, which is very beneficial to the body. There is an old saying that "people raise jade, and jade raises people." Jade will become moist when it is worn by people. At the same time, jade also plays the role of beauty beauty, making people's skin smooth and delicate. Jade can also vibrate with human body. According to folklore, jade can keep peace.
Handstrings are usually worn by the right hand, because most people are right-handed, and their left hands do less work and are not easy to bump.
There is no taboo to exchange jade for master, as long as the master is a jade lover.
3. Is there anything particular about wearing a jade bracelet?
Bracelets have a long history and originated from the transition from matriarchal society to paternal society. From the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Warring States Period, bracelets were mostly made of jade.
Whether it is bracelet shape or jade color, it is particularly rich. In this period, besides jade articles, metal bracelets also appeared.
After the Western Han Dynasty, influenced by the cultural customs of the western regions, the wind of wearing armbands prevailed. There are many styles of armbands, some of which can be extended freely. This armband can be adjusted according to the thickness of the arm. Shen Kuo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "Talk about Meng Xi": "Jinling people climbed the tomb of the Six Dynasties and got the jade arm, which was a miraculous feat."
There is also a kind of arm ring called "tripping", such as spring-shaped, which is coiled in a circle, ranging from three times to more than ten times. Both ends are woven with gold and silver thread to adjust the tightness. This "jump-off" armband can be worn on the arm and wrist.
From Sui and Tang Dynasties to Song Dynasty, it was very common for women to decorate their arms with bracelets, which were called necessary armbands. In the early Tang Dynasty, the painter Yan's "Walking Map" and "The Picture of Zanhua Ladies" clearly described the image of women wearing armbands.
This is not limited to the court nobles, but also the common people. According to historical records, Cui Guangyuan led troops to crusade against Duan Zhangzhang, and soldiers plundered everywhere. When you see a woman, cut off your arm and take the armband.
It can be seen that there were many women wearing armbands at that time. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the materials and manufacturing techniques of bracelets have been highly developed, including gold and silver bracelets, jade bracelets and precious bracelets.
Shapes are ring-shaped, beaded, twisted, braided and bamboo-shaped. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even the Republic of China, bracelets inlaid with precious stones in gold prevailed.
The design and modeling of jewelry and the production of technology have made great progress. According to relevant documents, both men and women wore bracelets in ancient times, with women as a symbol of marriage and men as a symbol of status or the nature of work.
In ancient society, people thought that wearing bracelets could ward off evil spirits or bring good luck, especially jade bracelets have always been one of the most important treasures in our China culture. The conception and design of jade bracelets are generally based on auspiciousness, love and blessing; Wearing it, people believe that it can have the meaning of auspiciousness, peace, eternity, happiness, wealth and bright future, and the profound China culture makes it more colorful.
In addition, jade bracelets often symbolize unity, harmony, elegance and femininity. To this day, there is still a story that bracelets can protect the wearer from harm, which can resolve various negative effects and bring blessings to the wearer. For example, a bracelet wearer may find that his beloved bracelet was damaged in an accident, but he was not injured.
Another interesting legend is that the good colors in the bracelet can be spread all over the bracelet, but it depends on the happiness of the wearer. In the past, bracelets were all in pairs, which originated from the belief of "yes-men", and the story of relatives knowing each other in ancient China added a perfect color to the bracelets in pairs.
Now bracelets can still be divided into men's and women's. With the appearance of identity bracelets, men's bracelets are becoming more and more popular. However, there are fewer men wearing bracelets in China, and they are generally silver. Later, due to the popularity of gold jewelry, K-gold bracelets came into being.
Jade bracelet is very suitable for women with long arms and sleeves, which is more elegant and pure. Wearing bracelets is also very particular, not how you want to wear them. Violating the established rules will make people laugh generously.
When wearing bracelets, there is no strict limit on the number of bracelets. You can wear one, two, three or even more bracelets. If you only wear one, you should wear it on your left hand instead of your right hand; If you wear two, you can wear one for your left and right hands, or both for your left hand; If you wear three, you should wear them all on your left hand. You can't wear one in one hand and two in the other.
Rarely wear more than three bracelets. Even if you want to wear it, you should wear it on your left hand, creating a strong sense of imbalance and achieving the purpose of unconventional and distinctive. But what needs to be pointed out here is that this imbalance should be achieved by matching with the clothes worn, otherwise it will destroy the decorative beauty of the bracelet because it is unconventional.
If you wear bracelets and rings, you should consider the harmony of the two in style, material and color. For those who wear bracelets for the first time, we should also pay attention to the size of the inner diameter of bracelets, especially jade bracelets. If it is too small, it will cause discomfort and even affect blood circulation. If it is too big, it is easy to fall off and break during the swing of the hand.
For jade bracelets, it is best to put a soft object (such as a cushion) under your wrist when trying them on, so as not to fall and break them.
4. How to wear and protect jade bracelets
Jade bracelets made of jadeite, nephrite or agate are hard, but brittle and easy to crack or break.
If a precious jade bracelet is properly protected, it will not break even if it is worn for decades, but if it collides with a hard object or falls on a hard floor, the shell will break in half a second. Therefore, the ring of the jade bracelet should not be too small, so as not to be damaged when forcibly put on or taken out.
In most cases, each person only wears a jade bracelet, which should be worn on the left hand that rarely does heavy work. Move the watch to the right hand. For example, a lady mistakenly wears a jade bracelet worth several thousand yuan on her right wrist. When she was doing housework (chopping ribs), the jade bracelet hit the chopping block and broke in two at once. It's too late to regret.
If you are left-handed and do heavy work with your left hand, it is advisable to wear a jade bracelet on your right hand.
5. How to choose jade bracelets?
Look at the shape of the bracelet can be divided into round bars, flat bars, round bars, princess bracelets, carved flowers, plain faces and other types.
By thickness, experts mean the width of the bracelet wall. It is worth mentioning that most of the carved jade bracelets we encounter have cracks on their surfaces, which need to be modified by sculptors. For example, the bracelet with a double dragon playing with beads (two dragons next to a bead) looks beautiful, but its cracks are very serious and it is not worth collecting.
Look at bracelets with different shades of color, and there will be a big gap in prices. Bright colors will cost a lot of money, and relatively dim colors will cost a lot less.
There is also the gathering and dispersion of colors. The more colors on the bracelet, the better. In addition, it depends on whether the color of the bracelet is green or full green. A bracelet that can be made all green will never be made green.
Usually, the price of all-green bracelets is much higher than that of green bracelets. In addition to the types and colors of jade bracelets, the most common mistake in choosing jade bracelets is its foundation (foundation is the part other than green).
In general, the species in the green part of emerald will be very good and transparent, but the species in the non-green part will be particularly dry and opaque. This is the so-called "where the dragon goes, there is water" (comparing the emerald ribbon with a dragon, it is often better to grow water where there is green). Two bracelets in the same green part, because of different backgrounds, the price may be many times different.
6. Is there any way to identify jade bracelets?
Among all kinds of jade jewelry, jade bracelet is the one with the largest output and the highest value. Experienced jade carving masters know that when a piece of jade has no cracks, it must first be processed into a jade bracelet.
People who like jade bracelets are most afraid of encountering fakes because they don't understand jade. At present, the identification of glass imitation jade bracelets on the market is probably the most common and simple one among fakes. Of course, there are other inferior materials posing as jade bracelets. At this time, the identification of jade bracelets is particularly important.
As the saying goes, interlacing is like a mountain, and ordinary consumers can't identify the authenticity of jade bracelets. Even if you search a lot of identification methods online, you will be confused and don't know which method is correct. Even if you try according to the online introduction method, there is no guarantee that the recognition will be accurate, but it will lead to more anxiety because of uncertainty. In view of this, Zhongshan Long Fu Jewelry has compiled some very simple and practical knowledge about the identification of jade bracelets, which is believed to be helpful for you to know how to identify the authenticity of jade bracelets.
