The basic knowledge of 6 kinds of jewelry materials

6 kinds of common jewelry materials small introduction:

1: What is rhinestones? The rhinestones are commonly known as crystal glass, which is a kind of jewelry accessories obtained by cutting artificial crystal glass into diamond facets. This material is more economical and has diamonds in visual effect. The eye-catching feeling. Therefore, it is very popular with people. Rhinestones are generally used in mid-range jewelry design. As the current global man-made crystal glass manufacturing site is located on the north and south sides of the Rhine, it is also called rhinestone. Produced on the North Shore is called Austrian Swarovski Drill, referred to as Austrian Drill. It attracts a lot of sunshine and has a good gloss. The south bank is called the Czech drill. The sunlight absorbed is not enough, and the luster is not as good as that of the Austrian diamond. Most of our products are Austrian diamonds, and a few of them are Czech drills. Now some pirated manufacturers use homemade kilograms, which are made of glass and negotiated with kilograms.

The classification of rhinestones: According to the color points can be divided into: white diamond, color diamond (such as pink, red, blue, etc.), color diamond (also AB drill), color AB drill (such as red AB, blue AB, etc.).

Classification by shape can be divided into: ordinary drills, special-shaped drills, shaped drills can be divided into diamond-shaped drill (eye stone), trapezoidal drill, satellite stone, no bottom drill.

The facet of the rhinestones: The general rhinestone has eight sections, and the back of the rhinestone is a layer of mercury coated. Through the concentration of the cut surface, it has a good brightness, the more cut surface, the better the brightness, Swarovski is the first person to discover the crystal glass section.

2: Alloy We have a type of hair clip that is alloy hairpin. The alloy material used is tin-lead alloy + zinc alloy. This alloy is characterized by a low melting point, easy to form, it is easy to make things in shape. It is harder and longer lasting. Is the best kind of material for alloy hairpins.

3: What is acrylic acrylic is the English transliteration of Acryhcs, Acryhcs is the generic name of acrylic and methacrylic chemicals. Acrylic is a highly transparent, light transmittance of 92%, with the reputation of "plastic crystal". And it has excellent weather resistance, especially for outdoor use, ranking the top of other plastics. It also has good surface hardness and luster, and has great processing plasticity. Can be made into a variety of desired shapes and products, it also has a lightweight feature, the hairpin made of it is much lighter than the alloy material products, is conducive to wear should not fall, second only to acrylic The material is Boli, whose characteristics are similar to those of acrylic.

Acrylic products maintenance and maintenance 1 . Cleaning: Acrylic products, if not specially treated or added hard agent, the product itself is easy to wear and scratch. For general dust treatment, use a soft brush or clean water. Wipe again with a soft cloth. If the surface is oily, use soft detergent to add water and wipe it with a soft cloth.

2. Wax: To make the product glossy, use liquid polishing wax and wipe it with a soft cloth.

3. Adhesion: If the product is inadvertently damaged, use a methylene chloride adhesive or a quick-drying agent.

4. Polishing: If the product is scratched or the surface is not very worn, try using a polishing machine to attach the cloth wheel with a suitable amount of liquid polishing wax. Even lighting can be improved.

4: What is electroplating electroplating is a chemical process. It is under the action of external direct current shock, through the two types of conductors in the anode and cathode electrode oxidation reaction process. Because the entire reaction process is carried out in the bath, it is also called "water plating" or "liquid phase method."

5: What is 18KGP

18KGP and 18KRGP 18KGP and 18KRGP are currently used to galvanize platinum-plated items in the industry. Previously, they were called 18KGP, and now they are 18KRGP. All 18KGP items will be engraved with the words 18KGP or 18KRGP on the surface of the jewelry. The advantages of this kind of jewelry are: the price is cheap, and new and fast. However, the jewelry of the 18KGP plating can be kept for a year without fading under normal use conditions, but it is afraid of water and sweat.

6: What is 925 silver? 925 silver refers to silver containing 92.5% of silver, and the other 7.5% is other alloys. Sterling silver refers to silver containing more than 92.5% silver. 925 silver has higher hardness than sterling silver, making it easier for jewelry. Because of the high content of silver in 925 silver, it is generally called 925 sterling silver. The silver ornaments are now 925 silver. 925 sterling silver jewelry is actually not 100% silver content, it is because adding 7.5% of the copper in pure silver, so that the silver's luster, brightness and hardness have been improved, to facilitate the production of jewelry.
