常见镶嵌有错金(金片嵌入)、错银(银丝嵌入)、乌银(硫化物填充)、掐丝(细金属丝盘花后焊固)。区分核心在于填充物是异色金属还是含硫合金,以及是否需熔融。

Common inlays include gold-inlay (sheet), silver-inlay (wire), niello (sulfide fill), and filigree (wired motifs soldered down). The distinction is whether the filler is a contrasting metal or a sulfur alloy, and whether fusion is required. ---
