How to dish a rosewood bead?

The newly bought beads are usually orange red or orange yellow. Judging from the physical structure of rosewood, they are rich in pteridine. When exposed to air and friction heat, they will release pteridine, so the surface color of the beads will gradually darken and gradually change from purple to black-purple. When it comes into contact with sweat and grease in the palm of a person's hand, it will gradually form patina, and the beads will be rubbed by people's fingerprints. Because human fingerprints are equivalent to 5000 mesh sandpaper, the surface of beads will become smoother. When it meets the reflection of light, it will form high bright spots, and the fluorescence of wood will come out of the wood, which is very beautiful. Therefore, the beads of lobular rosewood are getting more and more beautiful, and finally they will produce what the industry calls "treasure".

Therefore, in order to make the beads form patina quickly, we'd better not dish the beads directly by hand. The correct way is to wear a pair of pure white fine cotton gloves to play with beads. Hold the forefinger and middle finger half-way, and rub the bead surface up and down repeatedly with your thumb, and concentrate your strength on your thumb. Be careful, if your hands are wrong, you will get blisters. Summer is the best season to dish pearls, so make full use of it. It is also important to note that friends with severe sweaty hands are best to dish when they are not sweating, because sweat contains a lot of alkaline substances, which may destroy the patina and affect the color of the beads after a long time. Secondly, when rubbing beads, you must not use too much force, but be gentle. Excessive force may rub out brown eyes, affecting the smoothness and aesthetics of beads.
