Is this a lobular rosewood bracelet?

It's hard to see without a clear picture, and it's tricky.

Experience of lobular rosewood

Sandalwood rosewood has been sought after by literati since ancient times. Today, with people's increasingly rich material life, people pay more and more attention to spiritual pleasure, and many friends begin to buy and collect red sandalwood: some for collecting investment, some for praying for Buddha, some for showing their identity, and some for running their lives. In short, although the original intention was different, we finally achieved the same goal through different routes, and we began to contact rosewood. From then on, it was often heard in ancient times, not as good as today's one thousand years.

At first, someone told us: "Rosewood is black and bright", so we spent hundreds of dollars to buy a string of ebony worth dozens of dollars-we took medicine.

Then, someone told us: "Rosewood is purplish red", so we spent hundreds of dollars to buy a string of red rosewood worth dozens of dollars-we took medicine again.

Later, an expert finally stood up and told us: "The characteristics of rosewood are very simple, with cow hair patterns and Venus!" I bought real lobules this time, but the cow hair pattern turned into big brown eyes.

Venus has also become wood powder and gold powder-we continue to take medicine.

Later, when we were about to collapse, we finally met the only thrill of life. He said, "Let's go back to the basics. Rosewood is not playing tricks, it is playing density and oiliness! " As a result, we started looking for materials over 70 grams, and we came across this: we found something oily again, and we came across this-a material with high gloss and wax.

Later, someone told us: "Density depends not only on the weight, but also on the pattern. Shadow materials are generally dense and oily. " So, we began to pursue water ripples and scars. As a result, the "water wave" we bought is actually beads that are not tied into a smooth pattern; And leaving a scar is also a big eye and cracking-you are already resistant at this point!

Finally, you are really desperate: is it so difficult to play with a rosewood? Forget it, or go to the big shopping mall to buy it, at least to ensure the quality! So you ran to the counter of the mall and spent more than 10 thousand to buy a full Venus, and it was a real Venus. You're finally free. But after nearly a year, you find that your beads have become like this-it's really chicken ribs.

At this moment, you remembered the song that Chyi Chin's little brother sang in your ear: "Ruthless night, heartless rain, sad lobules, sad you …" Suddenly, your eyes were moist … Turn off the TV and Taobao computer. ..............

So you should study hard and see clearly your own shortcomings! Therefore, you have to understand these jargon to play lobular rosewood.

1. Open the door, make a hole and take medicine.

Say the word "open the door" first. This word is mainly used in Wan Wen industry to describe whether something is true or not. Literally speaking, it is very simple to understand, that is, open the door, open the door, do not hide or hide. Used to describe this thing without doubt, without ambiguity, very clear. Besides, "drilling" means that experts with certain experience read things wrong, which is a shameful thing. Because of a certain experience, I still read something wrong, which means that I didn't look carefully or didn't have enough knowledge, and my eyesight was not good. If I am cheated again, it will be a very disgusting thing and a joke. Beijingers pay the most attention to "playing" things and have the best mentality. They are reasonable, have a lot of face and are not in a hurry. Buying fakes is called taking medicine, which comes from this Beijing city and is called "taking medicine" in Beijing's friendly voice. Now it can also be understood as being cheated. The price is too high.

2. The "perfect circle", "parallel lines" and "small holes" of the rosewood bracelet

Let's talk about this "perfect circle" first. CNC machine tools or precision bead machines should be used to master the roundness of beads, so that there will be no error in measuring with vernier calipers. Besides, this "parallel pattern" means that the direction of bead pattern should be parallel to the direction of punching, which means we can't round a bead and punch holes at will. This means that the beads should be punched manually, not by machine in batches. To drill holes along the grain direction, find the upper and lower points of the bead pattern and make a symmetrical hole. In addition, this "small hole" refers to the gap between the beads. In fact, there is no standard for how big the hole is. Everyone can understand that the smaller the better, that is to say, try to drill with a thinner bit, provided that it can cross the line. The smaller the eyes, the better the appearance of the beads, and the whole bracelet will be a very regular circle.

3. Junior three, junior three, junior three and senior four.

This is a conventional fare increase in literary circles. Because of some rules in the literary circle, sometimes when people ask experts for evaluation, experts always say: mistress or mistress. The novice is confused as soon as he hears it, as if he had said nothing. How much is junior year? The picture below will answer your question.

Why didn't the experts tell us a specific price? Because in the circle of Wan Wen, the price is different from the goods in the supermarket. The price in Wan Wen varies from place to place, from time to time, from people to people and from opportunities. For example, in different places, such as rosewood, the price difference between Fujian and Beijing in the south is definitely a lot. I will buy it in winter and summer, and it will be different when I buy it in the morning market and when I want to close the stall. You will also buy online and in physical stores. What you bought in the carpet is not even the same as what you bought in the antique city. Buying brands and non-brands is even more different. The price difference between the bosses I met is also very big. Therefore, the price of your beaded bracelet varies greatly, but generally there is a price range, so it is estimated that it can only be a range, because the merchant must make money. For example, if yours is a mistress, the cost of this bracelet may be above 100, so the first-hand merchant sells you 200 and the second-hand merchant sells you 300, which are all within a reasonable range. If it exceeds this range, it is what we call being drugged.

4. Horn rosewood, rhinoceros horn rosewood, chicken blood rosewood, Venus rosewood

The so-called rhinoceros horn rosewood by old experts, as well as the so-called rhinoceros horn rosewood, chicken blood rosewood, Venus rosewood and so on. These nouns are adjectives named after the appearance of oxidized old rosewood furniture or wood. They are not the classification of rosewood, because rosewood is not objective, because it has different colors according to different time and storage conditions. For example, we took a piece of newly cut rosewood to an expert and asked, "Show me what kind of rosewood this is." If he tells you it's croissant or chicken blood rosewood, it's a joke. It also means that this is just an expert, not an expert. Unless you have "Venus" on this rosewood, you can still see it. I can only give you a saying of "Venus rosewood" to help you cope with the past. However, you should know that this "Venus" is reflected from oxidized old furniture, hence its name. It's the glue in the rosewood catheter. After a long period of oxidation, it looks more golden, and then it looks like a bright starry sky in the dark, hence the name "Venus rosewood". Before that, I think it's safer to call it chewing gum, or experts will say you are Venus rosewood. After a few days, you erased all these "Venus". Please ask again, "Let me show you this, this is the Venus rosewood you mentioned last time" ... For those who don't play with new things, it's good to see that you are rosewood. In the eyes of some old experts, rosewood should be purple. Experts are literate and can come up with many terms and expressions, but they lack practical experience and experience process. Many old experts play with old furniture, not culture. Now many of us are just playing with a piece of wood, so don't joke. Just like a friend of mine playing with a garden, it sounds like we are all playing with wood, but one is playing with a living tree and the other is playing with a dead tree. He doesn't understand me, and I don't understand him. When we are together, no one can understand without chatting.

5.rosewood pomegranate is not rosewood gall

Gall wood, commonly known as shadow wood, the name "shadow wood" refers to the texture characteristics of wood, not a particular kind of wood. It is the knotted wood wrapped around the old trunk of a tree, called eucalyptus. For example, many kinds of wood such as nanmu, birch, rosewood, cypress, elm, maple, etc. will be gall, so we call it gall. According to the difference of wood, we can call it birch gall, rosewood gall, elm gall and so on. More specifically, if rosewood has bile,

Identification of lobular rosewood and how to distinguish new and old lobular rosewood

Identification of lobular rosewood can be grasped from the following five aspects.

The first trick: look.

Compare the texture characteristics of rosewood and observe the color carefully. It is best to prepare two or three authentic rosewood samples with different textures and compare them. If you watch more, you will find the feeling of identifying the texture of rosewood.

The second trick: good.

According to the rosewood object, on the one hand, it depends on whether it reaches the weight of rosewood (the volume should be reached); On the other hand, we should pay attention to the feel during weighing. Generally speaking, if you have more than 800 pieces of rosewood, you will feel it. How does it feel? Can only understand, can't express.

The third measure: sense of smell

Shave stubble with a knife and smell sawdust. "Sandalwood rosewood" has a faint fragrance. If the fragrance is too strong or there is no fragrance, it is suspicious.

The fourth measure: foam

Soak the sawdust or sawdust of rosewood in water or white wine. The leaching solution of rosewood sawdust water is purplish red with fluorescence on it. Rosewood sawdust can be dyed with alcohol and will never fade.

Step 5: Knock on the door.

Use authentic rosewood block, preferably "rosewood ruler", and gently tap rosewood objects. Listen to its sound. The tapping sound of rosewood is crisp and pleasant, without noise.

It takes a familiar process to master the five-step identification method of red sandalwood, which will be greatly shortened if there is expert guidance. In fact, there is no shortcut to identify rosewood. The only thing you can do is to watch, weigh, smell, soak and knock frequently.

The difference between old and new materials:

1. What is the concept of new and old rosewood?

Many friends regard the old and new materials of rosewood as a matter of time directly through the literal meaning of the name. This understanding is not very accurate.

1. What's the new material of rosewood? New rosewood refers to the artificial propagation and cultivation of rosewood plantation, which usually grows on fertile flat land and has become wood for a relatively short time. New materials have three elements: first, artificial cultivation; The second is to grow on the flat ground; Third, it takes a short time to become a useful product.

2. What is old rosewood? Old rosewood refers to the natural growth of wild rosewood forest, generally in mountainous areas or wetlands, and it has been a relatively long time to become wood. Old materials have three elements: first, wild growth; The second is to grow in the mountains; Third, it takes a long time to become a useful product.

Second, the surface differences and basic discrimination between the old and new rosewood materials.

What's the difference between old and new materials? First, the key difference is the difference between artificial forest and wild forest; The second is the difference between flat forest and mountain forest; Third, the maturity is different, so the maturity we say here refers to the growth time when rosewood can be cut down for wood. Then, the new rosewood is relatively easy to become wood, but the quality of wood is really not as good as the old one, because its cultivation period is short.

1, from the logarithmic shape. Most of the new materials of rosewood are thick, straight and solid; Most of the old materials are thin, curved and hollow. Sometimes the diameter of new rosewood can reach more than 30CM, while the old rosewood rarely exceeds 25CM. Therefore, new materials are easy to become useful and it is easier to make furniture. However, the bending and hollowness of old materials make it difficult to become useful materials and make large items. That's what I said.

Judging from the color of wood. It is wrong for many people to judge the color depth of rosewood as new and old materials. The depth of color is a matter of the length of wood oxidation time, and rosewood materials are easy to turn black after illumination. Then, it is basically impossible to judge the old and new materials from the color. If the color is black, then the color of the old material is deep and bright, with a deep feeling; The new material is darker in color and feels like charcoal. Personally, I think there should be a difference in color between old materials and new materials in general. And density, oiliness, etc. , but novices can't actually make relevant comparisons)

3. Look at the pattern. The patterns of old rosewood are mostly drawn in irregular straight lines with different thicknesses on the dark red background, and some even have small curls in casual places, but they are not round, and the patterns are enchanting and intriguing; The pattern of the new material of rosewood has the appearance of the old material, and most of them are regular straight lines with uniform thickness or regular round lines. To tell the truth, I haven't understood this pattern, the black rib flame pattern ... )

4. From the brown line. The brown line of the old rosewood is relatively light, and there are obvious ox hair lines and crab claw lines, or thin traces left by wicker pumping across the lake, or the rain irregularly crosses the window, and the meteor shower leaves countless irregular small bright marks across the sky; The brown lines of new materials are straight and deep, regular and dense, and some even feel like tiny cracks.

5. From the perspective of tree rings. Tree rings are usually at the crossroads of wood. The annual rings of old rosewood are almost invisible, while those of new rosewood are very regular, and some can be clearly seen.

6. From the point of view of fluorescence. Old rosewood has obvious fluorescence, transparent color and good reflection; New materials are generally less fluorescent and less reflective.

Old rosewood, with fine texture, high density, good texture, stable wood and not easy to crack, is naturally the top grade for partners who love rosewood.

Several basic concepts of lobular rosewood beads

● Brown eyes: the cross section of the transfer channel for transferring water and nutrition of rosewood. That is, the perforation formed by the cross section of the sieve tube in the trunk.

● Brown line: the longitudinal section of the transportation channel for transporting water and nutrition of rosewood. That is, the lines formed by the longitudinal section of the sieve tube in the trunk.

Everyone knows that brown eyes are not Venus, but sometimes the beads are stained with rosewood sawdust, which is difficult to distinguish when mixed with Venus.

● Cow hair lines (S lines, crab claw lines and watercress lines): deformed brown lines formed due to external or internal changes during the growth of trees (for example, screen pipes are blocked, or the light intensity changes when growing on yin and yang slopes). (rosewood with the above lines is generally good in density. )

● Venus: A large number of minerals accumulated in the screen tube of rosewood tree were formed after hundreds of years of accumulation. Personal understanding may be similar to thrombosis, for reference only!

(The real Venus will not be easily broken off, and most fake stars will be easily peeled off. The identification of true and false stars will be introduced later. )

● White bark: the outer bark of rosewood tree.

(Note: White leather will not change color during playing, so try to avoid it when choosing beads. However, when making beads, the factory will definitely use some slightly defective beads to make tee joints, and the defective parts will be covered under the stupa. )

● Black spots and black stripes: Black stripes are decayed parts in the growth process of rosewood, or cracks and water infiltration appear in the wood during the growth process (the tangential section of wood is mostly straight stripes). But its fibrous tissue has been necrotic, so it has no brown eyes and high density. At the same time, the black rib is also easy to crack. )

Discussion on the experience of inspection, play and entry of lobular rosewood beads bracelets

The first thing, when online shopping receives lobular rosewood, the first thing to do is to carefully check the hand beads or rosary beads: first, check the size and roundness of each hole, and observe around the hole, paying special attention to whether the third hole of the tee is flawed or white; Secondly, check the whole bead to see if it is of the same material. Generally, the color difference is small and the texture trend is consistent, so it can be preliminarily judged as the same material. Finally, if possible, check the location of the hand beads, especially Venus or scars. It is best to use a magnifying glass and purple light. Magnifier is used to see cracks, and purple light is used to see stickers. If everything is all right, you can confirm that this is your own attached bead.

The second thing is about the sealing of rosewood, because rosewood has experienced climate change after express delivery, and the wood is much more delicate than others, which needs us to take care of it. Usually, changes in temperature and humidity will lead to cracking or wind cracking of beads. Generally speaking, the sealing of beads from south to north is very important, while the sealing of beads from north to south is not so strict because of the general humidity in the south. Except for the scarred beads. It is suggested that no matter what direction, no matter what beads, give them a time to adapt to the environment, five to seven days is enough. I usually wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in a box. If possible, I can bring a small fresh-keeping boxed bead, which is the best.

The third thing is disc playing. In fact, the method of disc playing cannot be generalized. Because the appearance, oil density and adaptability of beads are different, there is no complete standard applicable to all beads. Here I will talk about the suggestions for playing with high oil density beads, and the shortcomings will be corrected. After sealing, you can take the beads out to play. Here, playing is focused on playing, not as a daily task. I can't wait to record the time of playing with a stopwatch. Actually, it's not necessary You should treat it as your partner and touch it gently. Don't count them one by one. It's totally unnecessary. I often hear a lot of people playing with pearls. It's totally unnecessary. Just touch them with your heart and take care of every part. The important thing is to touch them gently and touch them with your heart. It takes about one hour a day to use gloves in the early stage of playing, one according to one's own time and the other. Don't make the beads too tired, but cherish them so that you can continue to play for about five days. Of course, it is best to seal the dishes as they are every day, and the surface roughness caused by wood flour or low polishing can be basically eliminated in a week or so. Then let the beads rest. It is still sealed for about a week according to the previous sealing method. According to this method and frequency, it is enough to continue playing the next set of dishes. It is important to play with the plate to ensure that the beads have enough rest time, and the oiliness will gradually show up over time. After this cycle for three to five times, the oily surface will basically hang porcelain. You can consider the problem of getting started.

The fourth thing is to start. San Shao thinks that "people raise pearls and pearls raise people" is reasonable. Only when rosewood is played with hands can it interact with the wearer's mind. Generally speaking, with the aura of the master, people become gentle because they wear it. This kind of spiritual interaction is difficult to achieve through a layer of cotton cloth. The emergence of patina infects people's aura by touching hands and human secretions. In my opinion, rosewood without hands is often missing something. Many people are eager to get started after seeing hanging porcelain. The following is my introduction experience. After playing with rosewood, many people finally saw the hanging porcelain they wanted to get started, but after getting started, they found that their hands were sticky. I feel there may be two reasons. The first one is that the re-polishing time is not long enough, and hanging porcelain really has not been realized. The second reason may be that I am a sweaty hand. When I touch the beads, I naturally feel sticky and have a sense of hysteresis. Another reason may be that I love rosewood so much that I feel very excited to play with it in my hand. People will sweat if they are nervous or excited, so it's not because I sweat myself. This is my personal situation, I believe some friends have met it. How to solve it? I have a personal opinion here. Before going to bed at night, it is the most calm or quiet moment in a person's heart. Most people will be calm inside, and there won't be a lot of sweat in their palms. You can play with them for a while. If there is no sharp weapon by the bed, you can sleep with them. When you wake up in the morning, your palms are usually very dry. You can play with them for a while, wipe them with cotton cloth after getting up, and then put them away.

After you get started successfully, you can be more casual in the future. I feel my hands are dry, so I can take them out and play for a while. You can put your hands away when you feel sweaty. Venus rosewood is generally naturally oxidized, and it is best to seal it up so that the background color looks better. If you just play, rosewood will smell. Play with rosewood seriously, but don't deliberately. Vegetables are beads, but patience is sharpened. ...

Ten "military regulations" in the purchase of lobular rosewood beads bracelets

1, rosewood texture. Good quality rosewood will be more collectible.

2. The design and color of the bracelet. Prices with clear patterns and bright colors are often higher. Only a few rosewood trees will have tree tumors. The pattern will be gorgeous.

3. Diameter of beads. The larger the diameter of beads, the higher the collection value. Generally speaking, only lobular bracelets with a diameter of 50px have room for collection and appreciation. So people who come to invite Zhu generally recommend buying 2.0.

4. density Wood plays with density, which is very important.

5. Whether the bracelet is cracked, damaged or repaired. Cracked and repaired bracelets are cheaper.

6, oily, the higher the oiliness, the easier it is to patinate, and the better the final effect will be.

7, whether it is the same material. A bracelet is like a piece of wood, with the same color. It is a rare fine product. Many bracelets are made of scraps. Many wooden beads are produced at one time. This will greatly reduce the collection value.

8. Whether it is along the grain, whether the direction along the grain is one direction, not horizontal or vertical.

9. Whether the individual beads on the bracelet are uniform in size. Relatively speaking, the larger the diameter of beads, the more collectible the bracelets are, because the smaller the diameter of rosewood is, the more holes there are, and the yield is extremely low.

10, whether the borehole is a small hole, the smaller the hole, the better the workmanship and the higher the collection.

The above ten items are the basic elements of collecting rosewood bracelets.

If these conditions are met at the same time, this bracelet is a rare boutique. The space for collection and appreciation will also be high.

High prices will naturally attract counterfeiters. So be extra careful when choosing rosewood bracelets. Now many counterfeiters pretend to be red rosewood bracelets, and the price is indeed lower than that of red rosewood. Collectors need to be more careful when distinguishing rosewood bracelets.

Indian lobular rosewood, namely sandalwood rosewood, is one of the main materials of court furniture in Ming and Qing dynasties in China, which makes rosewood have historical and cultural colors; After the mid-Qing dynasty, lobular rosewood was gradually held only by princes and nobles, and ordinary people rarely heard of it. Besides, its origin is not in China, which makes it even more mysterious. In recent years, China has entered the crazy stage of collection prosperity, and the investment and collection of rosewood have heated up rapidly, and rosewood has flowed into the domestic market through some channels. The bracelets, handles, ornaments, furniture and other products made of it are deeply loved by the masses.

It is precisely because of its preciousness and scarcity that its value and market price are so high. Therefore, consumers are advised to choose carefully when purchasing. Learn more, start less, and buy after learning.
