Several mosaic methods of jewelry processing (2)
6, borderless inlay-difficult techniques
Borderless inlay, also known as "hidden orbital inlay", is a stone setting process in which there is no metal welding between gems. The cleverness of this technique is that when looking down at the work, the inlay is completely hidden, and no trace of the groove is visible. The technique of borderless setting is extremely difficult to master. The first is the cutting of gems. To achieve the effect of no borders and gaps, a skilled cutter needs to perform precise calculations on each gemstone. The complexity is far more complicated than any cutting method, and it is extremely labor-intensive. It requires the size and cut height of the gemstone to be consistent, and the error should not exceed three thousandths. Another difficulty is setting. On the setting of jewelry, the endless setting requires the final precious metal setting to achieve a perfect balance between hardness and toughness to ensure that the gemstone has a stable grip. After that, it is used to make molds, flip molds, molds, molds, inlays, etc. All links need to be implemented in strict accordance with precise standards, which is far from what ordinary manufacturers can do.
7, micro-set-see the power under the microscope
Micro setting is an emerging setting technology in jewelry technology. Compared with other nail setting, the setting of micro-set gems is very close. It is set under a 40x microscope. The setting claws are very small and invisible. The metal is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. After the stone is set, it has a floating feeling, which can better reflect the brilliance of the gemstone. At the same time, the small gemstone is used to express a large surface, which has a unique advantage in the performance of the product's curved surface. , Make the product style look rich and gorgeous, the overall sense of expression is strong, and the surface is very soft, making the product more flashing, more three-dimensional, more round, like a wave of light flowing. The micro-nail setting process mostly uses round stones for inlaying, which has very high requirements on the size, color and clarity of the stones used in the product.
8, flashing inlay-practical and beautiful
Flashing inlay, also known as Italian inlay. It is an inlay method combining bezel setting and nail setting. While the perimeter of the gem was surrounded by metal trim, it was fixed by a number of small nails. Because the metal edging around the gem is relatively short and cannot completely enclose the gem, the edging only serves as a positioning function, while the studs play a role in fixing the gem. The number of studs around the gem can range from three to six. Generally, the larger the number of studs, the smaller the studs that are shoveled from the trim. The flash setting is mainly used for the setting of faceted gemstones, which can maintain the original size, making it difficult for the stones to hang clothes, and avoiding the small waist of the stones caused by the bezel setting.
9. Iris setting-highlights visual decoration
Aperture setting, also known as buried setting and plaster setting, is similar to encrusting in terms of craftsmanship. The gems are deeply embedded in a ring-shaped metal bowl, and the edges are clasped with metal. The periphery of the gemstone has a sunken metal ring edge, which looks like a halo under the light. Due to the presence of the metal halo, the iris inlay gives a visual impression that the gem has increased a lot, and the round halo also has a certain decorative nature.
10.Wrapping-sparkling twinkling gems
Wrapping is an inlaying technique in which gemstones are wound with metal wires. Wrapping is often used for the setting of bead-shaped or random-shaped gems. Some art jewelry and popular jewelry also use this setting method in order to pursue more special effects.
