The MEDALS are made of jade Quality requirement Including color, texture, cleanness , crack, stone grain and transparency and other conditions.

colour

Color is the primary condition for medal jade. From the perspective of color, there are two main factors to consider: First, color types: the color types of Hetian jade are mainly: white, green white, green. Followed by black, sugar (brown red), green and yellow. According to these color types are divided into: white jade, blue white jade, sapphire , Black jade , Sugar jade , jasper and topaz Such varieties. Dong Zhenxin said that white jade, green white jade and green jade are common varieties. The color of the white jade used in the medal should be white, not gray, not yellow. Blue jade is gray black green, can not be too black. Cyan jade is a color between white jade and cyan jade, which is gray-green. The second is the degree of color uniformity: the color of the jade medal should be uniform, and different color distributions such as spots, stripes or strips should not appear.

texture

Medal with the texture of jade to be delicate, the naked eye can not see the particles, only in Polarizing microscope It can be seen only after it is lowered tens of times Mineral crystal . It is made up of countless tiny crystals of the tremolite-actinite mineral. Particle size It is generally between 0.01 mm and 0.1 mm, and is interwoven in a fibrous and blanket shape. This structural feature makes it form the characteristics of high toughness strength and strong impact resistance, so that it is inlaid on the medal and is not easy to break when it falls on the ground from a height. Dong Zhenxin admitted that if the jade particles used are coarse, the combination between the minerals is not close, it is very easy to break. Therefore, rough jade can not be made into MEDALS.

cleanness

The clarity of jade refers to the degree of impurities. Impurities are often native coarse-grained minerals, Secondary mineral (Yellowish brown limonite ) Spots. The Hetian jade used as a medal has a good purity and cannot contain impurities.

Crackle stone

Because in the process of jade mining, jade is often mined by blasting, so cracks are sometimes visible in the processed jade ring, but the jade ring of the medal cannot have cracks. In addition, in the processed jade ring, especially in the white jade sometimes see veins, irregular Coarse grain tremolite Mineral composition The "stone pattern" of this jade ring cannot be used in MEDALS.

transparency

The transparency of Hetian jade is slightly transparent opacification . The more opaque the white jade used for MEDALS, the better, because the transparent white jade is easy to see impurities and stone patterns, and it is embedded in the metal plate, you will see inside Buffer material Pads, not aesthetically pleasing.

Detection of jade

Gold inlaid with jade
The jade detection of MEDALS is different from the general jade detection
Detection of jade for MEDALS: Detection of jade for MEDALS generality Jade detection is different, the detection method is special, the time used is long, the workload is larger, the task is difficult, there is a certain difficulty.
According to the Huang Yankun It is understood that in order to ensure the quality and quantity of jade used for MEDALS, the relevant parties have carried out the Kunlun jade mining area of Qinghai Golmud Jade Supply Company, which is nearly 5,000 meters above sea level Field trip The samples were collected, and the raw materials of Kunlun jade in the warehouse were selected; The selected samples and processed jade ring samples were carried out outdoors and indoors Comprehensive testing ; In addition to the conventional methods, the detection methods are also used Polarizing microscopy , Electron probe mineral Component analysis And infrared Spectral analysis The mineral composition in jade was precisely determined and calculated by a special method. The processed jade rings were tested and accepted in batches, and 3000 pieces of qualified medal jade rings were selected.
In the process of inspection and acceptance of processed jade rings, green jade and green white jade are easy to meet the standard. The white jade ring is relatively thin (3mm thick), the transparency is slightly higher, the stone patterns and cracks in the jade are easy to see, and the most difficult to meet the standard.

Relevant allusion

"Having eyes but not knowing gold inset jade" is a popular saying in our country, which is often used as a metaphor for poor knowledge and lack of ability to identify things. However, if we think about it carefully, we will find that this idiom is rather confusing.
"Gold inlaid jade" originally refers to a special gold and jade processing technology (that is, inlaid with various jade on the gold ware), and sometimes refers to the gold and jade ware made with this processing technology. As... The Golden Vase plum The twentieth: "The rest of me to hit a piece, according to. etah Aunt positive wear gold inset jade Guanyin full pool Jiao distraction." Seventy-second:" Lin She was wearing a bright red robe with long sleeves, a gold inlaid jasper belt around her waist, and a colorful brocade dress." This kind of "gold inlaid jade" ware was originally very easy to identify, how can people "have eyes and not know"?
In fact, tracing back to the root, the saying "eyes do not know gold and jade" is from the homonym of "eyes do not know Jingshan jade". While" A blind eye is a blind eye This idiom is a classic "Han Feizi · He's" : During the Spring and Autumn Period, Bian and saw a phoenix falling on Jingshan (located in present-day Hubei Province) Nanzhang County On a bluestone. Because people at that time believed that the phoenix god bird never landed. Therefore, Bian He decided that there must be a treasure in the bluestone and gave it to him King Li of Chu . King Li of Chu ordered the jade worker to identify, and the jade worker said that it was just a stone. King Li of Chu was furious and ordered Bian He's left foot to be cut off. After King Li of Chu died, King Wu of Chu After taking the throne, Bian and went to present a treasure. King Wu of Chu ordered the jade worker to identify, and the jade worker still said that it was only a stone. As a result, Bian He lost his right foot because of the crime of cheating the king. After the death of King Wu, King Wen of Chu To ascend the throne. Bian and hold Unrefined jade in Mount Chu I cried and cried until my tears ran out and there was blood in my eyes. When King Wen of Chu heard this, he was very surprised and sent someone to ask him: "There are many people in the world who have had their feet cut off. Why are you so sad?" Bian He replied, "My sadness is not that my feet were cut off, but that Beautiful jade They are treated as stones and loyal people as liars." After hearing this, King Wen of Chu ordered the jade worker to cut open the unpu jade and found that it was really a rare jade. Later, in order to highlight the name of Bian He, King Wen of Chu named this jade "He Bi". Because He Bi from Jingshan, so later generations also called "Jingshan jade", such as The Three Kingdoms , Cao Zhi There is a saying in the Book of Yang Zude: "Everyone calls himself the pearl of holding the spirit snake, and every family calls itself the jade of Baojing Mountain."
Gold inlaid jade, as the name suggests, is inlaid with a variety of jade on the gold, this special gold and jade inlaid technology is unique to our country, and has a long history of exquisite production. in Chinese traditional culture In China, gold and jade symbolize nobility and purity, just as the poet Li Bai praised "the golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, the jade plate is worth ten thousand dollars", so gold inlaid jade means "gold and jade marriage", which can be called the perfect combination of honor and auspiciousness and otherworldly. [1]
Interestingly, the emergence of "gold inlaid jade", like many inventions, was accidental. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn period, Bian He of the state of Chu presented the jade to King Wen of Chu and turned it into round jade, known as "He's round". Warm in winter and cool in summer, within a hundred paces Mosquito fly No, it's a priceless rarity. After Qin unified China, "He's Bi" was First Emperor of Qin Income. The first emperor made it carved into a jade seal, engraved Li Si The book "ordered by the day, both Shou Yongchang" eight characters, then carved Five dragons Pattern, exquisitely carved, exquisite workmanship, the first emperor himself is love, as a divine object. After the Han Dynasty destroyed the Qin Dynasty, "He's Bi" fell Liu Bang In hand, Liu took it as The imperial Seal It's been passed down for 12 generations. To the end of the Western Han Dynasty, two years old child Take the throne, hide the jade seal Palace of Eternal Happiness . Fall on... Wang Mang Usurping power, the king wants to coerce Empress Dowager Hyowon Hand over the jade seal. When the Empress Dowager refused, she took out the jade seal in anger and threw it on the ground, knocking it off a corner.
When Wang Mang saw that the seal was damaged, he sighed and called in a skilled craftsman to repair it. The craftsman was also clever and thought of setting it with gold Missing corner After repair, it is even more glorious, so it is called "gold inset jade seal", which is the origin of "gold inset jade". Unfortunately, this rare national treasure "gold inset jade seal" later changed hands several times, to The Three Kingdoms era disappeared. However, the production process of gold inlaid jade has been passed down, and from the court to the people, there are various gold inlaid jade ornaments and even gold inlaid jade chopsticks among the dignitaries. Since ancient times, there is a folk saying that "there are eyes that do not know gold inset jade", which is a metaphor for short-sighted and ill-informed.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a beautiful thing called Jinxiangyu Jin Xiangyu This gold Xiangyu and that gold inlaid jade are two different things. Golden fragrant jade is a kind of beautiful jade that can emit charming fragrance. It is natural, simple in appearance, delicate in texture, reddish brown or dark brown translucent, and has a unique aroma and a long aftertaste. Even more unusual, the hand that has touched the gold Xiangyu will also stick to the fragrance, and can remain for a long time. modern Scientific research Believe that gold Xiangyu is the product of millions of years of changes, is Volcanic eruption After scorching hot magma Fusion absorption neighborhood Aromatic plant The crystals, which are calmly deposited, are pure masterpieces of nature. Gold fragrant jade also has medicinal value, its powder into the skin, can make the skin fragrant, smooth and delicate, the elderly can wear prevention apoplexy The day contains this jade energy Produce fluid to quench thirst Moisten the voice throat, can also be treated Eczema hydrangea Let's wait. Because the appearance of gold Xiangyu is not surprising, there is also a folk saying that "money is difficult to buy gold Xiangyu".
On account of Bian He offered jade The story is widely spread in the later generations, "have eyes do not know Jing Shan jade" also with the story spread and become a well-known proverb allusion. As... The Golden Vase plum The twentieth time: "I Ximen Qing In a moment of ignorance, I do not know your good advice, and I fail to live up to your good intentions, which is exactly the same as "having eyes but not knowing the thorns and jade".
After the Ming Dynasty, perhaps because people feel that the "Jingshan jade" is not popular enough, and the allusions involved are not everyone can say clearly, the word "Jingshan jade" in this idiom is gradually replaced by the similar pronunciation of "Jinxiang jade" in the oral language, "there are eyes that do not know Jinxiang jade" the phrase is so spread in the folk by false information.
At that time, some of the jade items paid by foreign countries had them Islamic style There are several pieces of gold inlaid jade in the "trace Dustan" jade ware. Looking at these thin as paper, embedded with gold and silver and colored gems, glass vessels, Emperor Qianlong loved! Immediately made a decision: gold inlaid jade only for the palace, not to spread, and ordered the Internal affairs office to make imitation. The jade teachers in the palace used their wisdom and sweat, combined with the court skills of Qianlong workers, and finally created a symbol of the royal gold jade jade.
After several wind and rain, silent for hundreds of years. Reappeared in 2003.
Since ancient times, the matching of gold and jade has the meaning of good marriage, which has been controlled by emperors hundreds of years ago, as a symbol of wealth and power. The two were finally perfectly combined together, as a symbol of honor and auspiciousness, for people of insight to enjoy and play.

[3] Gold inlaid jade craft jade filigree Gemstone setting , also known as Error of gold and silver Inlaid gemstone jade, press filigree Gemstone setting Jade craft It should be classified as "gold inlaid jade", which is a door with a long heritage in China Traditional handicraft . Due to the complex process of gold inset jade, expensive raw materials, coupled with ancient China Feudal dynasty Due to strict restrictions on the grade of accessories and other reasons, the process of gold inset jade is limited to the application of palace supplies, so only a few pavilions such as the Palace Museum have gold Inset jade handed down physical works. Lu Zigang is the representative craftsman of gold inlaid jade craft. [4]
Gold inlaid jade modern representative craftsman Pan Bingheng
The "inlaid gold and silver wire" in the process of gold inlay jade originated from Shang and Zhou Dynasties During the period, the process of gold and silver cross-inlaying gemstones in bronzes was later applied in jade making by jade workers, which was called gold inlaid jade. In the Song and Ming dynasties, Suzhou jade industry has applied the gold inlaid jade technology to the tribute jade. According to reports, a Song Dynasty inlaid silver wire tribute Jade brush wash He appeared in an antique shop in Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China. Another document of the Palace Museum said: "Inlaying gold and silver wire, inlaying gems and other gold inlaying jade techniques are Ming Dynasty jade inlaying master Lu Zigang is good at".

As the strength of the Qing Dynasty declined and Manufacturing office The end eventually led to the gradual decline of the gold inlaid jade process until it was lost. Until the early years of the Republic of China, inspired by a Song Dynasty tribute in the antique shop "press silver silk jade brush wash", jade carving king Pan Bingheng After many efforts, Mr. Jin finally restored the process of "inlaying gold and silver wire" in the process of gold and jade, and invented the techniques and processing tools of gold and silver wire, which made gold and jade excellent in China Traditional skill To reproduce, Pan Bingheng for the modern Jinxiang jade representative craftsman.

Maintenance method

Gold inlaid with jade
First, do not collide with hard objects, and do not let it fall from the sky. Although jade has a high hardness, it is easy to crack after impact, there will be dark cracks, and sometimes it can not be seen, but its inner layer Molecular structure It could have been destroyed, which would have made the gold inset Economic value And perfection is greatly affected.
Second, do not let Jinxiangyu contact with oil, because oil is easy to sink on the surface of Jinxiangjade decoration, which will have a great impact on the surface luster.
Third, do not place gold inlaid jade jewelry in direct sunlight for a long time or near a heat source. Because it is easy to expand when heated with jade, the molecular volume increases, and it is easy to lose warm water, which will affect its jade quality and color. If there is oil on the surface, you should first use a mild soap Water gently Scrub, rinse with water, and dry with a clean, soft white cloth.
Fourth, keep the gold decoration clean, do not let it come into contact with dust, if there is dust on the gold decoration, need to use a soft white clean towel or brush gently wipe; It is best to wash it regularly with a professional antibacterial solution, and then dry it with a clean, soft cloth.
Fifth, to maintain the appropriate humidity of gold ornaments. Do not put the gold inlaid jade jewelry in too dry environment, because too dry environment, it is easy to make the natural water contained in the jade evaporation and loss, resulting in it tarnish It has a great impact on its value, and do not place gold inlaid jade for a long time Casket Inside, because the gold inlaid jade has been placed for a long time, the jade part will also be Water loss It dries out and loses its luster.
Sixth, do not wear gold inlaid jade jewelry, need to carefully put it. When you do not wear gold and jade jewelry, you should put it in a soft jewelry bag or a jewelry box padded with soft materials such as cotton wool to avoid scratching or damage.
Seventh, avoid chemical agents, chemical agents will bring certain damage to jade and gold, such as various detergent, soap, pesticides, cosmetics, perfume, hairdressing agent and so on. If it is accidentally stained, it should be cleaned after being erased in time to avoid damage.

Essentials of purchasing

EDITOR
First of all to buy gold jade jewelry to consider several points:
1. Whether the quality of the inlaid jade is intact and clean.
2. The type of precious metal used in the setting and its authenticity.
3. Whether the style of inlaid jewelry is your favorite style.
Here are three of these considerations.
1. The gold inlay jade jewelry in the hand should be examined from all angles against the stronger light, and the light can be seen from all angles of the jade parts to check whether there are cracks, hidden spots, cotton blocks, etc. Try to choose a more simple style with gold inlays around the jade (most of the jade egg surface is exposed), because some businesses may use gold patterns to cover up the problems above the jade. In addition, the bottom of the jade egg face of the gold inlaid jade jewelry is generally exposed, which helps the light pass through the jade and makes the jade look more spiritual from the front. However, some businesses will use precious metals to seal the bottom of the jade egg face (full cover), so that consumers can not see the situation on the back of the jade, for such a style, we should be careful, ask the merchants whether the jade has flaws and cracks that you can not accept, and let them write a good quality guarantee.
2. There are many kinds of precious metals used in inlaying jade, and PT is common platinum Gold, 18K yellow white red, etc Tricolor gold , 14K, 9K and other low K gold, palladium ( uncommon Etc., there are also some low-grade jade will be used Silver ornament Mosaic, but Silver work After wearing or placing for a long time, it will oxidize and become black, so it is mostly used for low-grade jade, and good jade merchants generally do not match silver jewelry. Generally speaking, gold inset jade jewelry has a certificate for you to show, so you do not have to worry about the quality of precious metals. If you choose gold Jewelry matching Jade, recommend everyone to choose 18K gold Because 18K colored gold hardness and ductility They are all very good. The inlaid jade is beautiful and firmly set.
3, for the problem of Mosaic style, completely out of their own preferences, choose their own Hand shape Face shape ring or pendant Style. Some types of jade ornaments are paired with diamonds, Colored gemstone Such as stone, we should carefully observe when buying the stone part is not loose, stone, stone damage and so on. To find on the identification certificate about the jewelry matching stone section Identification conclusion If there is no need to ask the merchant for proof.
Tip: You can use a flashlight on the back of the jade, to check whether the gold is leaking, if there is, it means that the gold is very thin, nine out of ten will fall in the future, and some unprofitable businesses, will use gold-plated methods to cover the flaws in the jade, and even the covered carving part is plastic instead of jade, and then stick to the jade, if it is online shopping, you find the problem, Taobao The complaint period is long past.

Olympic Games Why use Qinghai Kunlun jade
This problem has aroused wide concern in the society. China's famous gold inlaid jade brand Huang Yankun Marketing director According to BERRT.XU: Actually, Xinjiang Hetian jade It is produced with Qinghai Kunlun jade Kunlun Mountains , Geological environment Similar; Moreover, from the genesis of the jade deposits, they all belong to the same contact metasomatic deposit type. The main mineral composition is tremolite - actinolite Series minerals; The structure is also mainly fibrous Interlace structure And felt-like structure, which Physical property And the related identification characteristics are basically the same. In these respects, the jade produced in the two regions is basically the same. Because the Qinghai provincial government is right Olympic medal With jade attaches great importance, the relevant enterprises actively declare, free donation. Jade supply enterprises not only have multiple mines, sufficient raw materials, White jade , Bluish white jade And green jade, but also processing plants and advanced processing equipment and technology. At the same time, the price of Kunlun jade in Qinghai is lower than that of Hetian jade in Xinjiang, and the use of Kunlun jade conforms to the principle of economized Olympic Games. Practice proves The processed MEDALS of Kunlun jade Jade ring The quality fully meets the standard requirements.
White jade, green white jade, green jade difference
Gold inlaid with jade
White jade, blue white jade and blue jade belong to amphibole jade, in its mineral composition, Mg(Mg) magnesium ), Fe(iron) content is different. From the mineral of Kunlun jade Component analysis The results show that the mineral in the white jade is tremolite, containing high Mg, Mg/(Mg+Fe) is 96%~98%; The mineral in green jade is actinolite, which contains high Fe, Mg/(Mg+Fe) is 88%~89%. Therefore, from white jade, blue white jade to blue jade, the color is white, blue white to blue, due to the reduction of Mg content in the mineral composition and the increase of Fe content caused by. At the same time, from white jade, blue white jade to blue jade, as the Fe content becomes higher, and make it Refractive index Density also has an increasing trend.
White jade for gold medal, blue jade for silver medal and blue jade for bronze medal. The three jade colors are the same as the three metal parts of the medal Color matching The most reasonable, the largest contrast, the formation of the best color matching effect, gold, jade brilliant, each other. At the same time, the price decrease from white jade, blue white jade to blue jade, also happens to be consistent with the gold, silver and bronze awards from high to low, which is really the perfect combination of gold and jade.

According to reports, the scientific name of "gold inlaid jade" in the jade carving process is called "gold and silver inlaid gems jade", and its history has quite a source with and Shi's round. Legend Wang Mang After usurping the throne, coercion Empress dowager Handing over the seal, the Empress Dowager threw the seal to the ground in anger, breaking off a corner.
