Therefore, friends often ask: Excuse me, is it better to inlay amber with silver or gold? , Today, I and Da 　　 now many friends like amber inlays, inlay the beloved amber into rings, earrings, pendants, etc., the more I look at it, the more I like it. Therefore, friends often ask: 'Excuse me, should silver inlay amber or gold? ', today, I will talk to you about the amber inlay material.　　　　 1. Why use gold and silver to inlay amber?　　　　 When it comes to inlays, everyone takes it for granted that gold and silver are handed down from the ancestors, or what kind of inlays are used? In fact, there are many inlay materials, not just gold and silver, such as precious wood, or other metals, such as platinum, copper, alloys, etc. Theoretically speaking, any material inlay can be used, but, tell you, amber is used The material of the inlay is usually silver, why? It's simple because it fits!　　　　 Some people look down on silver, thinking that silver is not as valuable as gold, so the grade of silver-set gems should be lower than that of gold-set gems. In a sense, it makes sense. People are accustomed to setting precious gemstones with the most expensive materials to highlight their preciousness. However, there is a more important factor in the selection of gem setting materials that is coordination. Just match up. The amber material is soft and the color is restrained. If you use brightly colored metal to inlay, it will easily cover the color of the amber itself, but it is not beautiful, and the silver is also low-key and soft, which easily highlights the color and luster of amber, so it is very suitable for amber. mosaic.　　　　 2. Is amber inlaid pure silver or 925 silver better?　　　　 This is also a question that everyone is very concerned about. Many friends have asked the author,'Is sterling silver or 925 silver better for amber inlays? '　　　　 I’ll clarify everyone’s blindness first. 925 silver means silver with a silver content of 92.5%. It is called standard silver internationally and is recognized as sterling silver. What we usually call ‘pure silver’ is actually called ‘pure silver’. Silver with a purity of more than 99%; and some of the ethnic silver jewelry that we are familiar with has very low silver content, such as Miao silver, which contains 15% silver, and Tibetan silver, which contains 30% silver.　　　　 Pure silver needless to say, since ancient times, the most commonly used inlay material, but the pure silver used for inlay has weaknesses, too soft, difficult to handle complex patterns, and easy to oxidize. In 1851, Tiffany launched 925 silver jewelry, which solved all the troubles of pure silver inlay, improved the hardness and the luster, and became the standard silver for popular silver jewelry.　　　　 Therefore, 925 silver is currently the most common amber inlay material, but the author believes that although pure silver has some weaknesses, it is not only a shortcoming, but an advantage if it is used well. You see, pure silver is soft, more suitable for handmade, 925 silver is hard, more common in mass production, but for a piece of work, is it warmer, more humane, and easier than mass industrial production? Impress people?　　　　 3. Ultimately depends on the combination of amber characteristics and design.　　　　 Although many of the above mentioned are suitable and unsuitable, they are generally speaking. If it is implemented in a specific piece of amber, the situation may change again. There are no two pieces of amber that are exactly the same in size, color, luster, transparency, etc., so there will be different design inspirations according to the characteristics of each piece of amber, such as suitable for pendants or rings, and whether the shape is simple and elegant or fashionable Avant-garde, undoubtedly, these are closely related to the selection of inlay materials.　　　　 Therefore, for different amber beeswax, you need to find different design inspirations to choose the most suitable inlay material. This is not static. In this sense, gold also becomes silver, and the key depends on your amber beeswax!　　　　 The above is the author's summary of amber inlay information for you.
