Inlay is the insertion of stones into a specially prepared recess in the base of the jewelry. The notches have to match the size of the stone. In some cases, the material is fixed directly on the glue. This means that the frame has holding fixtures, teeth. The first problem with this inlay, is a vulnerability. The rocks are easily deformed from that fall. When wearing such jewelry, you need to be extremely cautious. If the stone becomes damaged or is deteriorated, it can be replaced, but the other should be exactly the same size. The cut size can cost a tidy sum, and then not the fact that the stone is perfect.
Another problem is the lifetime. Over time, the fixing glue crack, and the stone falls out. This can contribute to a strong mechanical impact. Therefore, before purchasing you should check the durability within the reasonable limits. Such jewelry should not be subjected to ultrasonic cleaning and excessive heat temperatures, as these factors detrimental impact on the function of the adhesive. Another difficulty lies in the impossibility of adjusting the size. If you have inlaid ring, you should probably already know that changing the size is very problematic. If, nevertheless, you need to change the ring size, the reduction is always on the lower side, where the stones are missing.
In view of the foregoing, there is a logical question, but does it make sense at all to buy such products. But despite all the shortcomings, few people can refuse to purchase inlaid jewelry because of their beauty. Just do not forget about the constant checking of fasteners such products and, if necessary, to fix, to clean, to avoid ultrasound.
