Micro-inlay process

Abstract

The invention discloses a process used for micro-inlaying precious stones on jewelry and crafts. The process is completed under a microscope. The micro-inlay process comprises the following steps of:arranging the positions of the stones, shoveling edges, unfolding pins, polishing inlaying openings, inlaying the stones and polishing jaws. The jewelry made by the process is good in inlaying effect,fine in process, neat in precious stone arrangement, thin and small in the metal jaws for fixing the precious stones, uniform in size and firm. The process fully shows the original brilliant rays andthe characteristics of the precious stones on the jewelry and meanwhile greatly improves the level of the jewelry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an inlay technique, more specifically, a technique for micro-inlaying gemstones on jewelry and handicrafts. Background technique [0002] The techniques of inlaying gemstones on traditional jewelry and handicrafts are common: [0003] Claw setting, using longer metal claws, using the deformation pressure of the metal to tightly hold the gemstone; the disadvantage of this method: the metal claws are too long, and it is easy to hook clothes, hair and other materials. The claws are deformed and the gems are easy to fall off. [0004] Forced setting refers to the method in which part of the edge of the gemstone is clamped by metal to fix it. The disadvantage of this method is that the area of ​​the gemstone clamped by the metal is too much, which affects the beauty of the original shape of the gemstone and affects the brilliance of the gemstone. [0005] Smear setting refers to the method of opening a stone hole on a metal plane ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Claw setting, using longer metal claws, using the deformation pressure of the metal to tightly hold the gemstone; the disadvantage of this method: the metal claws are too long, and it is easy to hook clothes, hair and other materials

The claws are deformed, and the gems are easy to fall off

[0004] Forced setting refers to the method in which part of the edge of the gemstone is clamped by metal to fix it. The disadvantage of this method is that the area of ​​the gemstone clamped by the metal is too much, which affects the beauty of the original shape of the gemstone and affects the brilliance of the gemstone.

[0005] Smear setting refers to the method of opening a stone hole on a metal plane and wrapping the gemstone around with metal to fix it. The disadvantage of this method is that the metal wraps around the gemstone, greatly reducing the area of ​​the gemstone and affecting the sparkling brilliance of the gemstone.

[0006] Ding setting refers to the method of opening a row of stone holes on the metal surface and planting nail-like metal claws around the distance between gems and gems to fix them. The disadvantage of this method is that it is easy to produce gaps between gems and gems. Gaps, unevenness, too many welding spots at the bottom of the nails affect the arrangement of gemstones and reduce the brilliance of gemstone facet refraction

[0007] Shovel nail setting refers to the method of shoveling out a number of small metal nails on the metal surface to fix the gemstones. The disadvantage of this method: the shovel nails are prone to uneven size of the nails, which affects the beauty of the overall arrangement.

[0008] Tiger claw setting refers to the method of opening a row of stone holes on the metal strip, and turning out grooves on the edge of the stone holes. The side shape is like a tiger claw, so that the stone can be fixed. The disadvantage of this method: the shape of the tiger claw It is relatively large, and it will cover more edges of gemstones when inlaid, which will affect the sparkling brilliance of gemstones

[0009] Borderless setting refers to the method of fixing the bottom of the gemstone with metal grooves or rails and fixing the gemstone with the help of pressure between the gemstones and between the gemstone and the metal. The disadvantage of this method: this process is to carve grooves on both sides of the gemstone, so that The original weight of the stone is lost, and it is difficult to repair when the stone is loose

[0010] Italian inlay refers to the method of fixing gemstones with a number of small metal nails that are scooped out while the gemstones are surrounded by metal on a metal plane. The disadvantages of this method are: some small nails are small and sharp, the fixing strength is not enough, and the gemstones are easy to fall off and bring up the material

[0011] Bezel-setting refers to a method in which there is a metal edge on a metal plane to surround the gemstone to fix the gemstone. The disadvantage of this method is that the metal surrounds the gemstone, which greatly reduces the original area of ​​the gemstone and affects the brilliance of the gemstone.

[0012] Wax inlay refers to the method in which gemstones are inlaid on the wax mold before the molding process, and the gemstones are molded together with the gold setting. It is mostly used in low-end jewelry. The disadvantage of this method: the gemstones inlaid by this process are flat Insufficient precision, uneven spacing between gemstones, affecting the overall beauty of gemstones

[0013] Combining the various gem-inlaid techniques above, there are problems that the gems are easy to fall off, affecting the brilliance of the gems, the components that fix the gems are easy to evoke materials, and the overall aesthetic feeling is poor
