How to cut and clasp jade bracelets

Generally speaking, jade bracelet is cut as a solid bangle. You can also find flexible jade bracelet with several jade sections connected by metal joints like end caps and chains. Chances are that you have outgrown your jade bracelet, or that you find it inconvenient to slip on and off your wrist. On this kind of occasion, you may want to cut and clasp jade bracelets. Here are some instructions.
Since jade bracelet is solid bangle, you will have cut it twice on the opposite sides, and have each half connected with a spacer. Since jade is rather fragile, you cannot use a steel tool to do the job. What you need to cut the jade is a fine blade diamond saw, which can be found in a jewelry store or gemstone shop. Gemstone shop generally provides the service for those who like to polish their own stones, and a diamond saw is the basic tool for the customer.
Spacer is in the form of end cap, and the cut jade can cement in it. You don’t need to worry about its resource, for competent jewelers are able to make a spacer from silver stock, including ring shanks, stone setting, clasp and so on. 
Now that you have got all the tools wanted, doing the job is not difficult. But you should have the jade bracelet sawn smoothly and cleanly. Then it is easier for you to join two sections together.
You can also make the jade bracelets more flexible by add a clasp on one side and a hinge on the other side. By doing so, you can open and close the clasp to wear it.
As can be seen from above, you can cut and clasp your jade bracelets as long as you can get the right tools. Have a try, and give your jade bracelet a new look.
