"If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object." Of course, good jade needs a good carver to show its perfect value. The ultimate value of jade is largely reflected in the level of carving craftsmanship. If the quality of jade itself determines 60% of the price of jade, then carving, in addition to other factors, should account for at least 30% of the price of jade, and even ultimately determine the success or failure of the jade: if the carving is poor, of course the price of the jade cannot be recovered, so in many cases, the price of carving has exceeded the value of the jade itself. At present, with the development of the times, the technology we have is also changing with each passing day. Today, jadeite has gradually become one of the most popular and sought-after jades. Likewise, as raw material prices rise, so do the labor costs for engraving. Again, there are increasingly rapid and relatively low-cost processing methods, such as ultrasonic compression engraving and computer machine engraving. Mechanical engraving What is Ultrasonic Engraving? In fact, this method is to use high-carbon steel tools, and then use high-hardness corundum, place the mold on the surface of the jade material, and then use ultrasonic vibration to vibrate the mold so that the mold can rub and the jade surface and vibrate with the jade. Therefore, the carving speed of jade is improved, and the functions of fast carving and cost reduction are realized, which is generally called ultrasonic pressing products. Using this carving method, several can usually be made within an hour, and upwards of 15 pendants can be made per day. One person can control 6 of these machines. According to this concept, basically one person can make about 100 pieces of jade pendant jewelry a day. Such a machine can greatly improve the carving speed and save labor costs. (Ultrasonic engraving of rigid molds) Mechanical engraving and computer 3D engraving are also inseparable. Of course, mechanical engraving also has some disadvantages. After all, mechanical engraving is a uniformly standard and fast engraving method. Generally, jade jewelry produced through carving has no fixed shape, and the overall feel is not as good as that of manual carving. Hand Carved From pattern design to craftsmanship, the level of craftsmanship of hand-carving, the coordination and application of colors, it is possible to throw away imperfect parts and highlight perfect or special parts, with beautiful and smooth lines and flexible overall design. Each one is different. A good sculpture can be perfectly displayed in terms of craftsmanship, cultural connotation and stone characteristics. A good craftsman can give stone spiritual life with his own hands. Good artificial carving can give it a perfect soul and make it more valuable. Although the cost is higher compared to machine carving, manual carving can make the jade itself reflect its value. Therefore, we must distinguish the difference between hand engraving and machine engraving, and their grades and prices are also very different. fcgc99
