First, how to play beeswax bracelets
1, soak and clean
The newly purchased beeswax bracelets need to be soaked in clean water for about 15 minutes, then soaked in light salt water for about 10 minutes to soften the dirt attached to the beeswax, and then wiped clean with white cotton cloth.
2. Combination of CD and player
When playing with beeswax, wash your hands first, then rub the beeswax beads with your fingers, and try to rub even the threading holes, so that the oil secreted by the human body gradually moistens the beeswax, and don't rub it with your nails. Beeswax is soft and easy to draw traces. After playing for a week, put it for two or three days until the oil oxidizes and hardens.
3, dish out the patina
The combination of putting and putting can be cleaned once a month to clean the dirt on the patina, and then play with it. After a while, you will find that there is a patina on the beeswax.
Second, the maintenance method of beeswax bracelets
1, often play
Playing with beeswax often in the right way is actually the best maintenance method. Playing with beeswax will make the patina more perfect and make the beeswax more beautiful and valuable.
2. Avoid high temperature
When playing with beeswax, we must pay attention to avoid high temperature, because the component of beeswax is resin, which will melt and deform when it meets high temperature, affecting the quality and value of beeswax, so we must stay away from high temperature environment when playing with beeswax.
3. Avoid collision
Beeswax is brittle in texture and low in hardness, so you should avoid bumping at ordinary times, especially when you encounter something sharp and hard, it is easy to cut the patina and even damage the beeswax, which will affect the value of beeswax.
How to choose beeswax bracelets;
1, look at the impurities
Impurities, also known as stains, refer to all kinds of impure substances and bubbles contained in natural beeswax. The shape can be strip, dot, sheet, cotton wool, etc. And the color is mostly black or dark, and cotton wool stains are also common in white and yellow. Impurities have a great influence on the beauty of beeswax, so generally speaking, the more impurities, the lower the value of beeswax, while the impurity content of high-quality beeswax is usually very small.
2. Look at these cracks
There are often some cracks on the surface or inside of beeswax, some of which are naturally formed and some are caused by human factors during mining and processing. Cracks not only affect the appearance of beeswax, but also affect the structural strength of beeswax, making it fragile and difficult for secondary processing, so it has a great impact on the value of beeswax.
3. Look at the traces of mines
The surface of natural beeswax will be uneven in some places, and pits or depressions will appear. This is a mine. There may also be red disks and linear red lines on the surface, which are mineral marks formed by the mineral skin on the surface of beeswax.
Some mine marks can be hidden by clever treatment, while others can't. This is also an intolerable defect for the perfect jewelry player, so pay attention to it when choosing.
4. Look at this craft
Some players think that the simpler things are, the better. Actually, it is not. Especially when we have beeswax, we will feel that the unique design technology will make it shine more brightly. Therefore, when choosing a beeswax bracelet, the craft is often very important. Exquisite carving technology is the reason for the price increase of beeswax, and players should also consider it from many aspects.
