Green clouds are high in buns, and the dots are evenly red in the world.
Moon like eyebrows, shallow smile with double jing, whispering small words.
Small sandalwood, golden peony flower.
Bluebirds pass on their hearts. Double flying double dance, garden warblers after spring and day.
No metal or stone color can be so bright; what would be a shame for the jewelry world if it were not for such a mysterious blue?
If there is no need to create, the great nation has never lacked whimsical ideas, and there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen, and the collision of wisdom and wisdom can always create more wonderful things.
Finally found a way to get that touch of blue, the diancui skill was born.
Diancui craft is a traditional gold and silver jewelry production process of the Han people since the Han Dynasty in China. With the feathers of the kingfisher, combined with the jewelry gold and stone inlay, it is made into expensive and rare dot jade jewelry, which is lustrous and beautiful, bright and very bright, and the shape is kitsch, which is difficult to hide the luxury.
Dot the beauty of the emerald
In recent years, because of the TV series Diancui has returned to the public's attention, after all, the pearly head of Concubine Hua niangniang, the brilliance can not be ignored by anyone. Beauty with eyes, without mouth.
It's hard to point out
If the Diancui technique is not a little difficult, then Diancui is not the fascinating Diancui.
The production technology of dot cui is very complicated, first of all, it needs to be made of gold, silver and copper and other metal pattern base, and to ensure that the bottom of the tire is smooth and flat, but also has a highly suitable frame to choose; then take the feathers on the top kingfisher, dip in special glue, and then inlay a little bit, to paste it evenly, without exposing the root, which requires extreme patience and perseverance, thousands of times of dot insertion, to create that clear and bright blue.
The price of a little green
The preciousness of the dot green, in addition to the precious jewelry of the jade feather itself, lies in the rarity of the jade feather, the kingfisher is petite, only the size of a sparrow, and those soft and bright royal blue feathers are only grown on the tip of the wing and the tail. When making the dots, each kingfisher generally uses only about twenty-eight feathers, and must also be "taken alive".
Because of the high mortality rate of kingfishers, the feathers lose their ghostly luster. In this way, let alone a large headdress, even if it is a small dot-green hairpin, it will use dozens of kingfisher feathers, and the value is self-evident.
The Battle of The Dots
Beauty often comes at a price, and although Diancui is beautiful, the controversy about it has never stopped. "Live taking" can ensure quality, but it is a nightmare for kingfishers. All lives have equal rights to life, and no one has to give their lives for anyone's beauty.
The Fall of the Dot Emerald
The great controversy that exists in Diancui itself dooms it to belong only to a specific era, and the new era has changed from time to time, and even in beauty, it has lost the need to exist. In 1933, with the closure of the last Diancui factory in China, the traditional Diancui completely withdrew from the historical stage. The fall of Diancui is precisely in today's technological innovation, people's choices for nature and life after contemplation.
Nowadays, most of the imitations we can see are made of materials such as dot silk and burnt blue, which continues that touch of blue and does not harm the innocent, so why not enjoy it?
What has fallen is not skill, but the old concept, which retains the innovation of technology and people's respect for life.
