Jewelry custom track inlay, also known as clip or wall inlay, is called channel setting in English, which refers to the arrangement of multiple crystals in a closely connected manner. The contact suppression method on both sides of each crystal is the same as forced inlay, and this type of inlay is called track inlay.

Li Xin recommends the process of rail inlay and embedding:

The use of track mounted jewelry for jewelry processing is very popular in European and American countries, the Middle East, and other regions. Due to this type of inlay method, the jewelry not only has a smooth appearance and wire frame, but also is clean, tidy, and beautiful throughout, making all the jewelry look very luxurious and precious. Orbital inlay is suitable for the inlay of a series of hard grain crystals. Among common jewelry, the crystal shapes that can be used for orbital inlay include chevron shaped, trapezoidal square shaped, and round multiple shaped, among which crystal and trapezoidal square shaped crystals are used.

Silver jewelry processing usually involves setting gemstones in the same track with the same cut shape, but the crystal size can vary. In addition, the consistency of the quality of the gemstones embedded in the track setting is relatively high. It is recommended to choose crystals with basically the same color tone and clarity as much as possible. If the color or clarity of the gemstones are different, the embedded jewelry will eventually endanger its full use value. It is essential to prevent it in jewelry setting.

Among various inlay methods, track inlay is one of the key ways to achieve the diversity of accessory design. Within the same inlay cavity, the diversity of design schemes can be achieved by embedding different types of crystal stones; In the same plane diagram, the track can be of equal width, with each particle being inlaid with stones. The track can change from narrow to large, from wide to small, or from width to width interactively. The inlaid stone track can be vertical, or it can be continuous and bumpy, and the inlaid stone track can be in a strip shape.

It can also be in a closed circular strip shape; Without the same floor plan, all design schemes and styles that can be completed in the floor plan can be completed. The stone inlay track can be concave inside, curved outside, radial outside, and even distorted in three-dimensional space. Although the contact suppression method of each inlaid stone in the track inlay is the same as that of the forcing inlay, in addition to the clamping effect of the two walls of the inlay on the crystal, there is also the extrusion molding of adjacent inlay stones on the crystal, which makes the track inlay a very solid way.

If the inlaid stones on the track are not up to standard, it will be more difficult to remove them. If you are not careful, it is very easy to break the inlaid stones. Sometimes, for safety reasons, all accessories must be placed in the king's water to melt the metal materials before the inlaid stones can be removed.

Compared to other inlay methods, track inlay is a difficult to operate and highly professional inlay method, and the cost of each stone inlay material is also higher. In practical operation, in addition to setting each inlaid stone well, attention should also be paid to the high and low parts of each inlaid stone, as well as the neat sorting and other difficulties. Therefore, careful, meticulous, and long-term training are necessary to master.

The operation process and techniques of track inlay:

1. The fixed metal material holder can be used with a diamond ring clamp, or the metal material holder can be fixed in the lacquer seal, and the lacquer seal inside the inlaid mouth can be hollowed out with a sewing needle. Before the inlay, the inlay stone has already been prepared according to the overall width, and the length of the inlay stone must exceed the interval between the inner side of the track inlay wall.

2. Based on the size of the inlay stone, select the appropriate alien spacecraft needle for the slot hole on the inner side of the inlay wall with a suitable height to width ratio.

3. Brush off the metal powder by using a small soft bristle brush. If it is in the form of precious metal powder, it needs to be professionally collected.

4. For stone testing, medical tweezers should be used to take and place the crystal stone into the inlay mouth to see if the deep layer and parts of the car groove are suitable. Sometimes the crystal stone is not large, and it is not easy to take and place with medical tweezers. You can stick the crystal stone onto the inlay mouth with some leather mud on the needle to avoid losing the crystal stone. To avoid losing the crystal stone, the crystal stone can be glued onto the leather mud according to the width of the inlay mouth.

5. To address the situation where the spacing between the two walls of the inlay is the same and the spacing between the inlay grooves is the widest and gradually decreasing towards both sides, a stone can be placed in the middle of the inlay groove, and each inlay stone can be moved to both sides of the inlay groove along the vehicle groove. For other types of inlay grooves, the contact inhibition and forced inlay of each crystal stone can be achieved. The latter type is suitable for various types of inserts. Due to the same spacing between the two walls of the inlay, the middle of the inlay groove can be selected to turn one of its walls to the bench for convenient stone placement.

6. By ramming one end of the inlaid stone into the car slot from the opened part, and gently squeezing the other end, it can be placed into another car slot. After placing it, adjust the crystal stone towards one end of the inlaid slot along the car slot. When moving, the overall width of the inlaid slot in some parts is insufficient, which causes the inlaid stone to move beyond its original position. An alien spacecraft needle can be used to drill the slot holes on the two walls of the inlaid slot deeper to closely touch the slot ends. If the inlaid stone is uneven, A small nail can be raised at the lower part of the inlaid stone to support it.

7. Inlay other crystals in the same way as the first one, preferably the one at the opening.

8. First, use a filing knife to file away the strike marks of the machine needle while holding the edge, and then use coarser sanding paper and 1200 sanding paper to polish and polish the top of the groove wall bright. When necessary, use bead rolling edge processing technology to provide decorative design with embedded edges.
