Maintenance method:
First, don't collide with hard objects and don't let them fall from the sky. Although the hardness of jade is very high, it is easy to crack after being hit, and dark cracks will appear. Sometimes it is invisible, but the molecular structure of its inner layer may have been destroyed, which will greatly affect the economic value and perfection of gold inlaid jade.
Second, don't let the gold inlaid jade come into contact with oil stains, because oil stains can easily sink on the surface of gold inlaid jade ornaments, which has a great influence on their surface luster.
Third, don't put gold inlaid jade ornaments in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Because jade is easy to expand when heated, its molecular volume increases, and it is easy to lose wet water, which will affect its jade quality and color. If there is oil stain on its surface, it should be lightly brushed with mild soapy water first, then rinsed with clear water, and then dried with a clean white soft cloth.
Fourth, keep the gold inlaid jade ornaments clean, and don't let them touch the dust. If there is dust on the gold inlaid jade jewelry, gently wipe it with a soft white towel or brush; It is best to wash with professional nursing bacteriostatic liquid regularly, and then dry it with a soft white cloth.
Fifth, it is necessary to maintain the proper humidity of gold inlaid jade ornaments. Gold inlaid jade ornaments should not be placed in an excessively dry environment. Because the environment is too dry, it is easy to evaporate and lose the natural moisture contained in jadeite, which leads to its loss of luster and has a great influence on its value.
Don't put the gold inlaid jade in the jewelry box for a long time, because if the gold inlaid jade is left for a long time, the jade part will lose water and dry, and lose its luster.
Sixth, when you don't wear gold inlaid jade ornaments, you need to be careful. When you don't wear gold inlaid jade jewelry, you need to put soft things such as cotton wool in a soft jewelry bag or jewelry box to avoid scratches or damage.
Seventh, avoid chemicals, which will bring some damage to jade and gold, such as various detergents, soaps, pesticides, cosmetics, perfumes, hairdressing agents and so on. If you accidentally touch it, clean it in time to avoid damage.

Production process:
"Gold inlaid with jade" is also called gold-plated and tin-inlaid process, that is, tin and gold are inlaid on the surface of jade, ceramics, purple sand, glass and other handicrafts. According to reports, the scientific name of "gold inlaid jade" in jade carving technology is "gold and silver inlaid gem jade", and its history has a lot to do with Heshibi.
Legend has it that after Wang Mang usurped the throne, he coerced the Empress Dowager to hand over the imperial seal. Empress Dowager Cixi, in a rage, threw the jade seal on the ground and broke off a corner. Later, Wang Mang ordered skilled craftsmen to carry out renovation and inlaid the missing corner with gold, which was called "gold inlaid jade seal", hence the name "gold inlaid jade".
The process of "gold inlaid with jade" lies in the word "inlaid", which is inlaid into a pattern by continuous tapping with gold wire or gold piece.
The technology of gold inlaid with jade was first seen in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and was brought to the Central Plains by the sweet princess favored by Qianlong, and gradually lost in the late Qing Dynasty. Among the tribute jade articles, there are some "Handustan" jade articles with Islamic style, including several jade articles inlaid with gold.
Looking at these paper-thin vessels embedded with gold and silver wires, all kinds of precious stones and glass, Emperor Qianlong couldn't put it down, and immediately made a decision: the gold inlaid jade belongs only to the palace and is not allowed to circulate, and ordered the internal affairs office to copy it.
The jade masters in the palace used their wisdom and sweat, combined with the court skills of Qianlong, and finally created a gold-inlaid jade symbolizing the royal family. Gan Long also wrote many poems praising his exquisite craftsmanship.
