However, if the jadeite is loose in texture or pickled in various ways, including the traditional Yangmei soup, the pores of jadeite will increase, resulting in more paraffin filling into jadeite.
Emerald with more wax will produce white flowers due to the aging of wax over time, which will make the transparency of jadeite worse. Some jadeites only have this change for half a year because of the poor quality of wax. Therefore, the filling process of this wax is different from the waxing process, which can be called wax dipping treatment.
Wax dipping treatment is different from pickling and glue pouring treatment. The jadeite treated with wax has not been acid-washed with strong acid, so the structural damage is not strong, which has no obvious effect on the durability of jadeite. On the other hand, the structure of natural jadeite itself is quite loose, such as jadeite with coarse grain structure. But as long as there is too much wax, the transparency of jadeite may deteriorate due to the aging of wax, which can be regarded as wax-soaked jadeite.
Waxing function of jadeite jade
Any gem material must be processed by a certain process, especially jade. As the saying goes, jade is rough and rough. Waxing jadeite and soaking jadeite are both post-processing technologies of jadeite, but they are essentially different. Jade jewelry is often waxed after carving to increase its aesthetic feeling.
Therefore, jade ornaments cannot contact with acids, alkalis and organic solvents. Even if it is not waxed jade ornaments, because they are mostly mineral aggregates, long-term contact with acid and alkali should be avoided.
These chemicals will corrode the surface of jade jewelry. In addition, don't put jade jewelry in the box for a long time. Jade ornaments will lose water and dry after a long time. Wearing it for a long time will make the color of jewelry dim. At this time, you can go to a reputable jewelry store to polish and renovate. Re-renovation and polishing will make your jade jewelry as bright as new and glow with infinite charm.
There are two ways to wax.
Heat the jade slightly, spray white wax powder on it, let the wax powder enter the gap of the jade, and then wipe it with woolen cloth to make the wax evenly wrapped on the jade surface; Soak jadeite in melted liquid paraffin.
Although the methods are different, the principle is the same. But in contrast, if the jadeite soaked in wax has cracks, the wax will penetrate into it, making the jadeite more beautiful!
Of course, it is not ruled out that waxing is to cover up cracks, but this is rare! Because it's easier to see through, just boil it in boiling water for a while. However, there are also disadvantages. After this kind of jade was used for a period of time, the paraffin in the jade slowly evaporated and disappeared, so the jade cracked, and its luster and brightness were not as good as before.
Therefore, any change in the jade environment will increase the possibility of cracks. Even if it is left standing, cracks may appear. These problems are more common for jade with earlier age, especially for jade with poor quality. When waxing, jade will crack when heated. For good quality jade, the probability of this happening is relatively small.
The melting point of ordinary wax is generally about 40 to 60 degrees. If you fill in other materials, you will probably go to Baidu. Except water, most substances are
Thermal expansion and cold contraction. A friend with Cui will say, bring it back and cook it first. In fact, this method is very unreasonable. Because unless there is a crack in the jade itself and the merchant knows it, it is absolutely impossible for the merchant to return it to you, so it is not worth the candle. In order to avoid this situation, we can only pay attention to purchase and communication.
Whether bracelets, pendants or handles are polished and waxed, even if there are no cracks on the jade surface, the same steps are needed. Because waxing is not only to cover up small cracks, but also to brighten them. After waxing, jadeite looks more shiny and has a stronger sense of grease. Also, if cracks are allowed to exist, more impurities will invade during wearing. With the increase of wearing time, these impurities will more or less penetrate into jade and affect its jade quality.
