A solution to all your questions about baking amber

烤色琥珀

Emphasize the definition of baking color: put natural beeswax or pressed beeswax into the electric oven equipment to maintain a certain constant temperature, accelerate the oxidation of the amber beeswax to yellow, and the color becomes darker. The baking time is from ten days to one month or even longer, and the accelerated oxidation effect is compared with the effect of natural oxidation. If the color of one month of baking is natural oxidation, it takes at least ten years.

Baking color (heat treatment) is defined as the “optimization method” in the national standard GB/T16552-2011 jewellery jade name. This is a “traditional, acceptable treatment method”. It is sold without prior explanation and can be equivalent to "Natural" amber products for sale. That is to say, the sale of baked beeswax does not have to inform the consumer that the honey wax has been processed. Because the baking color (heat treatment) does not change the physicochemical properties of amber, it only darkens its color.

Let’s talk about the natural beeswax color.

1. The old beeswax on the market, especially the beades, are mostly baked, which is beyond doubt.

The reason is the general public preferences and market demand. Most people who buy old-fashioned honey are not professionals. The emphasis on appreciation is definitely lower than the emphasis on decorativeity, and does not consider too many natural attributes of jewelry. Ordinary consumers usually just think good-looking, beautiful, it is easier to accept the color of the wax, the color of each bead is very uniform, the merchants profit, to cater to the consumer preferences, there will be so many baked beeswax Supply market.

This is a new beeswax bead, light yellow

This batch of new beeswax beads, then they will be placed in the oven for heating

It takes about 7-15 days to bake this color, and the time for baking different colors is slightly different.

Bake this color, about 15-30 days

It takes longer to bake this so-called "old beeswax", and the heating temperature has to be adjusted accordingly, sometimes even 2-3 months.

2. Is the baked color beeswax cheaper than natural ones or expensive?

In general, baked bead strings are more expensive than pure natural beads.

There are several reasons for this:

First, if you want to bake out the bead string effect is good, the color is even and there is a good selling phase, you need to choose the full quality of the honey, more uniform and better natural beeswax as the basis. If you use gold twisted honey to make the color, the finished product will be more flowery.

The second is the purchase cost of the electric oven equipment used for baking, and the additional cost of electricity and labor consumed by the equipment for a long time.

Third, the merchants sell the baked beeswax as an antique old beeswax, deliberately distinguishing it from the natural unoptimized new beeswax to sell high prices.

Based on the above three reasons, the price of baked beeswax is higher than that of natural unoptimized beeswax.

3. Is the baking color good or bad?

The good baked bead string is based on the natural honey wax which is better in honey quality. The honey-beaded skewer is the best in appearance. Many years ago, there were even white honey-baked colors. At present, due to the shortage of raw materials, the market is gradually adopting other quality beeswax for baking, so the baked beeswax does not mean that the honey is good. Let's talk about the bad baked beads.

First, there are cracks, and the surface of the beads is exposed to impurities: after the baking, the crack will turn red, like a red silk smashing into the inside of the beads. Impurity of the exposed beads will appear to affect the appearance.

The second is to bake the color with pressed beads. In particular, the powder baking color is relatively difficult to judge by experience. Fortunately, a professional appraisal agency can detect and suppress amber beeswax. It is generally safer to issue a certificate through re-examination. It is also based on this point. For those who are inconvenient to identify and inexperienced, it is the safest and safest way to not bake the colored beeswax. Don’t just listen to the old waxy old antiques, if the ancestors upload them, etc. Touch, first accumulate experience is king.

4, how to easily identify whether the beeswax is baked

Let me talk about the beads. The difference in baking equipment, the length of heating time, the difference in heat, and the effect of baking are different.

Simply divided into micro-baked, medium-baked and deep-baked.

Micro-baked light, short time, the impact on the appearance of beeswax is not large, it is a slight improvement of the beeswax phase, basically can be regarded as the same as the unoptimized natural beeswax, without excessive rejection. It is not easy for ordinary players to distinguish at a glance.

The medium-baked beeswax beads are already darker in color. The simple way to judge is to look at the tunnel. Medium-baked color, the ends of the tunnel are red, but basically no wear, the wear is not like the natural old wax, the natural hole and keyhole caused by the long-term friction of the rope. Judging whether it is natural old beeswax, in addition to looking at the tunnel, but also to look at the weathering, etc., this is another topic, this article does not discuss too much. In addition, the medium-baked beeswax, due to excessive oxidation of the epidermis, the fluorescence is weak, the effect of the violet light will be much reduced, you can try the salt water first, but also need to transparently observe the internal moiré to judge the authenticity.

Deep-baked color needs to be treated with caution. First, the original natural properties of the beeswax are changed too much. Second, it is easy to buy the pressed baking color. The best is not to touch.

5. Is the original stone baked?

Usually most natural raw waxes are not optimized. The original stone that will be optimized is usually a high temperature and pressure treatment for the material with more cracks and sputum. It is different from the baking color. In this respect, the technical means and equipment used are very diverse, mainly due to the fusion of cracks, precipitation of impurities and the like.

Some rough stones are not mined after being produced in the natural environment and natural factors, and naturally oxidized and turned yellow. Therefore, it cannot be judged by the color of the section to be consistent with the color of the meat.

Next, we used a destructive experiment to sand out the skin of the baked bracelets with sandpaper. What effect would it be?

After polishing, the three beads were "smashed" under the baked coat.

In fact, the new beeswax is not baked, the surface will oxidize with time, and the color will become darker and yellower. It's just that this process often takes years or even decades. Now people can't stand such a long wait, so the fast-fixing technique of baking color came into being. This is also in line with the fast pace of modern life.

Finally, explain a few points:

First, due to the large market demand, the vast majority of "old beeswax" are baked.

Second, the baking color is an optimization method, and it is not required to declare in advance when selling.

Third, because there is more than one process of “new wax” that does not bake color, the “old wax” of baking color is more expensive than the “new wax” without baking color.

Fourth, correctly understand the baking color beeswax, make choices according to needs.

Fifth, the use of high-quality beeswax only for the treatment of baked color makeup, I think it is absolutely possible to buy the collection, because this is the best category, single for warm baking color makeup treatment, the experiment proves that there is no natural ingredients that destroy the beeswax, It has not been invaded by any chemicals, but the make-up has become beautiful but still beneficial to the human body.

Sixth, in fact, the baking color of amber beeswax is far more than the above-mentioned warming baking color, and there is a more powerful warming and pressing coloring, the common "pressing" and "pressing" in amber. "Crushing" and other treatment methods, you can also fill the inert gas as needed, this type of cosmetic treatment after the plastic surgery, I dare not compliment!
