Let's talk about fashion jewelry. The materials of fashion jewelry fall into the following categories:
1. Alloy
Depending on the composition and material of the alloy, there will be different alloy types, such as zinc alloy, copper alloy and lead tin alloy. Due to the advantages of strong plasticity, low melting point, good material toughness and low price, lead tin alloy is popular jewelry, so the market is mostly based on this alloy material.
2. Claw chain
This type of jewelry is characterized by several rising claws on the inlay base to hold the rhinestones and gems and other inlays, and the production process is simple.
3. Crystal
There are natural crystal and artificial crystal, among which artificial crystal is called rhinestone, the main component is crystal glass. Rhinestones are different from real diamonds, but their appearance is very similar to that of a diamond. The first is the Austrian Swarovski diamond. Full absorption of sunlight, with a good gloss. Because of its high quality, exquisite workmanship, so the price is relatively expensive.
4. Cubic zirconia
Zircon is also a diamond-like material, but a higher grade than rhinestones. Because of its high degree of imitation, it is often used to make high-grade sterling silver imitation gold jewelry.
5. Gold
Gold: soft and easy to deform, malleable and easy to forge, with beautiful metallic luster and precipitation sense, relatively high value (with the function of monetary value).
K gold: The composition is synthetic metal (note: the content of the deposit is divided into 24K, 18K, 14K, 10K, etc.), gold + zinc, silver, copper, tungsten and other metal materials. It has the characteristics of high cost performance, low cost with gold, strong hardness, easy to make complex technology and the configuration color is more rich (rose gold, K platinum, etc.).
Gold plating: The plating of a surface that is not gold. The color is high imitation gold luster, the appearance is hard to recognize, the feel is light, the texture is hard, the color is easy to fade for a long time.
6. Silver
999 Silver: the highest content of silver, soft texture, suitable for plain silver jewelry;
925 silver: The silver content is 92.5%, which is regarded as the international standard silver, the minimum standard for sterling silver, bearing the "S925" or "Ag925" mark. Soft texture easy deformation, hardness is greater than silver, is a kind of anti allergy material.
Silver plating: The interior is non-silver and the surface is coated with silver. Looks the same as sterling silver, but weighs differently and is less hard than sterling silver. Wear for a long time will fade, change color, affect the appearance.
7. Titanium steel
Titanium steel is on the basis of 316 stainless steel to continue to reduce the carbon content, it has strong acid resistance, alkali resistance, no discoloration, no allergy, no deformation, hard, bright characteristics, than the general stainless steel expensive. In the case of a lot of sweating in summer, it is not corroded, not discolored, not faded, and will not produce allergic reactions to any skin type. Corrosion resistance high temperature resistance hardness, surface will not change because of the environment, so long-term wear can maintain luster and smooth.
