This is the residue caused by the occasional production process on Hetian jade. This process is called gold tracing or gilding. When hetian jade has cracks, it is often painted with gold, carved with flowers along the cracks, and then filled with precious metals. Gold plating is a complete device that absorbs a thin layer of gold.

This process is called tracing gold, because it is difficult to judge the material type and quality of the bracelet without seeing the photos of the specific bracelet, and it is also impossible to judge whether it is good or bad. Generally speaking, jade bracelets are not coated with gold. Moreover, jade bracelets with good quality are basically not engraved with patterns.

If the jade bracelet has obvious natural cracks and fine lines. Generally, slight gold tracing is carried out at the crack to cover up the crack, and light gold tracing also plays a decorative role in the bracelet. Generally, patterns are carved along the cracks, and then gold wires are embedded in jade, that is, gold tracing.

Look at the quality. If the jade bracelet is of good quality, it can be repaired with gold paint. If the bracelet is three or five hundred yuan, it is not necessary (gold painting is also expensive). Of course, if your jade bracelet has special commemorative significance, it can be repaired with gold paint regardless of its quality.

Before carving jade, you should draw on it first, and then start carving, so that you can draw on jade.
