The most famous technique in jade carving: "removing dirt and knots"

“Nine out of ten treasures have cracks, and a jade is not jade without cracks.” When talking about the cracks in jade, the “cracks” and “cracks” should be explained separately. The cracks are called “cracks”, while the cracks that have healed or been filled with substances are called “cracks.” The most famous skill in our jade carving industry is: "cutting out the dirt and removing the knots".

During the carving process of jade jewelry, if the cracks of the jade jewelry do not pose a fatal blow or threat to itself, we can cleverly and reasonably avoid them during the carving process.

Generally, when carving jadeite, jade carvers can use the shape of the grain or cracks to carve along the grain, and then they can cleverly cover up the cracks.

In order to bring out the skillful carving techniques of jade jewelry, you may wish to choose the negative carving technique. The negative carving technique generally refers to the carving of concave lines. After undergoing various aspects of carving, the cracks on the surface of the jade jewelry will be avoided and repaired to the greatest extent.

The strands or cracks in jade can be skillfully utilized by a professional carving master, so that an originally plain jade jewelry can be carefully carved and reasonably arranged in advance by a skilled craftsman. After many times of carving, it can be transformed from decay to magic.

Therefore, a good jade carving does not necessarily have to be of superior quality. The most important thing is to have perfect craftsmanship. Good carving can not only add the finishing touch, but also make an inconspicuous piece glow with a more lasting charm.

Moreover, the large cracked raw stones that seem to have no value as mentioned above can be brought back to life by the masters’ magical hands and even become treasures in people’s eyes!
