Maintenance:
Although beeswax is not a gem, the beauty of beeswax is no less than the light of many gems. The medicinal value of amber is also extremely high. Long-term wearing can improve people's health, so many people like to wear beeswax. However, we can't treat beeswax lightly. The following is the common sense of amber beeswax maintenance:
1. beeswax, like amber, is fragile and has low hardness, so it is not suitable for external impact. Friction and scratches should be avoided to prevent scratches and breakage.
2, beeswax jewelry should be stored separately, not with other sharp or hard jewelry such as diamonds.
3. Beeswax is afraid of strong acid and alkali, and is easily soluble in organic solvents. Try not to touch organic solutions such as alcohol, gasoline and kerosene.
4, beeswax has a low melting point, easy to melt, afraid of exposure, afraid of high temperature, do not expose to the sun for a long time or put it next to the heater, too dry and easy to crack.
5, the best maintenance is long-term wear, body oil can make beeswax brighter and brighter.
6, beeswax is easy to dehydrate, too dry and easy to crack, try to use closed plastic bags for separate collection when not in use.
7. Be sure to use a special jewelry cleaning solution for cleaning.
Further requirements and attention can be observed as follows: (1) There is greasy light outside and pure and precious light inside; There are spun silk, moire, tiger pattern, weathering pattern and ice crack; Hole oxidation, gold scattering in the core or explosion; Elves that respond to light have two or more colors; Beautiful bright colors, or simple but not dry,
Vaguely presents an oily and flexible luster; Light and shadow shine, like nothing, like mountains and rivers, and the realm is strange. Furthermore, if it is beaded, it is best to choose goods with the same variety, color, shape and size.
Beeswax contains great effects of matter and soul, which is incomparable to ordinary jewelry. Only by revealing its various values in depth can the characteristics and functions of beeswax not be buried, and the intimate relationship between human beings and beeswax from ancient times to the present can be explained.
The close relationship with human beings for thousands of years has made beeswax a cultural carrier of history and reality and a noble, noble and cultured part of all mankind. Promoting beeswax should be one of the meaningful social and cultural activities. In fact, more and more people know, love, wear and collect beeswax.
However, due to the proliferation of counterfeit goods and products in the market, ordinary consumers and even experienced collectors are often deceived, which not only loses money, but also greatly reduces their interest in buying. Real beeswax has many colors, different prices, different personal preferences and uses, and needs to be selected according to different hobbies, uses and purchasing power.
Those with the following characteristics should all be good goods: natural (non-artificial, recycled), pure (no counterfeiting, no adulteration), antique (hand-made, with a long history and few fakes), good quality (such as smooth, uniform and crystal clear texture), true color (non-artificial dyeing or coloring) and intact (no cracks or damage).
Defects caused by hand-made, primitive and rough tools, or years of friction marks between natural sand holes and beads are not a big problem) and rare (rare varieties, special shapes, long history, etc.). ), you can buy with confidence.
In addition, when collecting amber, blood amber and red crystal wax are easily confused, and their values are far from each other. Therefore, the situation of "referring to a deer as a horse" often occurs in the market, which deserves the attention of beeswax lovers. The so-called red crystal wax refers to red, crystal clear, transparent and translucent beeswax. Red crystal wax is more common and cheaper.
The so-called blood amber refers to the deep red and transparent beeswax (amber). The difference between snow wave and red crystal wax is that snow wave is transparent, while red crystal wax can be transparent and contains spun silk or moire; Blood amber looks dark in appearance, slightly black vertically, but red crystal wax does not have this phenomenon. Whether indoors or outdoors, the facade is bright red.
As time goes on, the appearance of blood amber will darken, especially when viewed vertically. When it is illuminated by strong light or glare, the black of the outer layer disappears, only the deep red or jujube red of the inner layer is seen, and its core must be red or jujube red.
