The creation process of ice red jadeite raw stone, the jade carver has a heart that respects nature

Each piece of exquisite jade work is not born that way. It is only after careful design and carving by jade carvers that it is transformed into a wonderful work presented to us. The same piece of jadeite raw stone can be designed into different themes in the hands of different jade carvers due to the differences in the jade carvers' own culture, cultivation, and life experience.

A piece of jadeite raw stone will only shine if it meets the right jade carver at the right time.

What I want to share with you today is a piece of icy red jadeite raw stone. In the hands of the right jade carver, it will be transformed into the most beautiful incarnation.

Let’s first take a look at this piece of jadeite rough stone. The material is from the famous Malaysian cutting field. Anyone who knows a little about jadeite can see that this is a piece of high-quality, clear material.

The material is irregular in shape, with a layer of red fog on the surface and a slight hint of clear water green. Except for the shape, other aspects of the material are perfect, with no obvious cracks, dirty spots, etc. What adds the icing on the cake is the layer of red fog, which can be called a stroke of genius.

The material is irregular in shape and relatively small, so there is no way to make a bracelet. If an ordinary jade carver gets this material, his first reaction is probably to shape it and make it regular to make a pendant. The small pieces cut off can be used to make ring faces. This method should be what most jade carvers would use.

But this jade carver was quite special. He believed that if he did so, it would be a waste of the characteristics of the material. It must be said that this jade carver really had a heart that respected nature. After some thought, he decided to retain the characteristics of the original stone to the greatest extent and make use of the red mist color.

When I shone the light on it, I saw that it was still a little dirty inside, so I cleaned it carefully.

After cleaning up those flaws, the jade carver designed a theme of a flying dragon breaking out of its shell based on the shape of the material. After listening to the jade carver's ideas, our eyes lit up. This design is great!

The pretty red mist part is cleverly designed to be the wings of a flying dragon. The little flying dragon that has just hatched from the shell is chubby and cute.

Aren’t these tender pink red wings particularly suitable for the characteristics of a newborn little dragon? The jade carver's use of this beautiful color is truly magical. After the rough draft was completed, the image of a flying dragon was already eager to try.

The next step is to slowly carve out the details.

It's done, the last step left is polishing.

Finally, the jade carver named this work "Newborn". Let's appreciate the finished product.

We do not create jade, we are just nature's porters. As a jade carver, if we can respect the original stone and always have a heart that respects nature, sometimes we can get unexpected rewards.
