Knowledge: The hidden inlay of top jewelry inlay technology!

Common rings and pendants require metal claws to hold the gemstone in place and prevent it from shaking or falling. The most classic and common one is the six-claw diamond ring inlaid with jewelry. But in the hidden jewelry, you can’t see any metal buttressed rings and pendants from the appearance with the naked eye. Metal claws are needed to fix the gemstone and prevent it from shaking and falling. The most classic and common one is jewelry. Inlaid six-prong diamond ring. However, on the concealed inlay jewelry, you can’t see any metal bracket or base to fix the gem from the naked eye. This is called the “invisible setting method”, also called “invisible gold setting” or “borderless setting”. '. The technique of 　　　　 was invented in 1929 by the Parisian craftsman Jacques-Albert Algier. In 1934, Van Cleef u0026 Arpels applied for a patent for'hidden form' inlay. Later this inlay technique was renamed as'secret' inlay. Until 1990, this technique was also applied to diamond setting. Previously it was only mastered by a few big jewelry brands, but now it has gradually been used by many qualified jewelry processing industry.　　　　 concealed setting is a complicated process, the setting and the gems must be carefully carved. Each gem needs at least 90 minutes of carving in the hands of the craftsman. Therefore, for a slightly more complicated jewelry, a craftsman needs to spend hundreds or even thousands of hours to make. Let's take a look at the steps of this setting method: 　　　　Step 1. The quality of the matching stone directly affects the effect of the product. The length and width ratio, thickness, and color of the gem must be the same or close (within 0.05mm difference), and the length and width ratio It affects the smoothness of the vertical and horizontal lines, and the thickness affects the flatness of the gems. The gems of the borderless setting are smooth and seamless. Therefore, the requirements for the color of the gems are also very strict. One of the colors is slightly different, which can be seen at a glance. Step 2. The rimless setting of the car pit requires a special polishing of the gemstone. This is called a car pit in the industry, which is to grind a small groove under the waist of the gemstone. This work is also very important. The groove must be required. The height and depth are the same. The pros and cons of the car pits directly affect the appearance and inlay efficiency and quality of the product. Poor car pits can cause irregularities in vertical and horizontal lines, tilt, height, and fall of gems in later stages. Step 3. In order to avoid the limitations of prongs and other traditional inlays, the concealed inlay method uses squares formed by gold or platinum 'fine lines' as the inserts. The diameter of each square is less than one centimeter. Two-tenths of that. The setting of a borderless setting is in a grid shape, and the horizontal line is slightly lower than the vertical line. The setting carving first smoothes the vertical line, and then polishes the distance between the two vertical lines to a width less than the size of the gem. Carve a small groove on the side of the longitudinal line, in the shape of a semi-'IStep 4. Inlay, insert the pitted gems between the longitudinal lines, use the upper part of the longitudinal grooves of the base to engage with the grooves of the gems, and then gently tap them with a fine needle and a small hammer until the gems are no longer loose . Not every gemstone is suitable for making jewellery with hidden inlays. This method needs to consider the physical properties of the gemstone itself and whether it can meet the conditions for carving grooves. Therefore, red sapphires are mostly used as materials, and emeralds are due to toughness. The lower is easy to brittle, and other gems with low toughness are not suitable for this setting.　　　　The concealed setting method of jewels is very beautiful, and each piece is called a work of art. Each flower and leaf inlaid by Van Cleef u0026 Arpels master craftsmen shines with moving light, becoming extremely precious works of art. Under the smooth lines, they are lifelike, and under the breeze, they seem to bloom brilliantly. Jewelry Appreciation The above is the author's summary for you about jewelry inlay information.
