Creation of semiprecious gemstones new design by assembled techniques

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the appropriate binding agent for the assembled technique of semiprecious stones and to create semiprecious stones in new ways. Quartz is a group of semi-precious gemstones found on the market and inexpensive. The assembling of quartz with quartz or other materials such as glass and metal could add value. The results showed that the ideal binder is UV resin glue, which can be applied to all the above material surfaces. It was the least effect on the color difference value (∆E). UV resin glue binding provides a smooth and uniform material to the interface. Workpieces glued with UV resin glue soaked in water for up to 120 minutes without falling apart. The assembled technique is applied to gems, gemstones or semiprecious gemstones of quartz and other materials and resulted in the development guidelines for jewelry by assembled techniques as follows: 1) the top-bottom plane assembling 2) the side plane assembling 3) grooving and painting 4) grooving and the top-bottom plane assembling 5) grooving and the side plane assembling. The workpiece should be smooth surface, clean for the glue to adhere well to the workpiece. An entrepreneur can use the assembled technique for low-value, semi-precious stones that cannot be cut and carved in a normal way and create jewelry as a new value-added product.The purpose of this research was to study the appropriate binding agent for the assembled technique of semiprecious stones and to create semiprecious stones in new ways.
