Wax, also known as amber and crystal sugar glass, is an ancient organic material. It is a polymer synthetic substance formed by the saliva of drones, pollen from honey plants, climate and environment, and has high toughness, transparency and gloss.
Because beeswax has good toughness and plasticity, it can be thermoformed into various shapes at low temperature and become raw materials for jewelry, toys, aromatherapy, handicrafts and so on. The color of beeswax is mainly yellow and orange, but there are also many colors such as light yellow and light brown, but its production needs a series of complicated procedures, chemical or mechanical extraction, heating, decoloring, filtering and other treatments. Finally, high-temperature thermoplastic molding or cooling molding is carried out.
How to maintain beeswax bracelets
1, avoid high temperature when wearing beeswax, because beeswax is precious, it is best to pay attention to maintenance and cherish it at ordinary times. As an organic gem, it is not suitable for direct exposure in the sun, nor can it be baked in a stove, otherwise high temperature will soften the beeswax, thus affecting its texture and value.
2. Don't touch hard objects. Because the hardness of beeswax is very low, in the process of wearing beeswax bracelets, for the sake of beauty, don't wear jewelry with high hardness at will. Try to avoid rubbing with hard objects at ordinary times, otherwise the surface is prone to scratches, which may break in severe cases, greatly affecting the perfection of beeswax.
3. Avoid drying beeswax, which is a kind of water-containing gem. When playing with or wearing the handle, it should not be placed directly in a high temperature environment, otherwise it will easily lead to the rapid loss of internal water and lead to dryness. When it's hot, it's also appropriate to add some water properly, or to beat on your hands.
