A piece of free-form jadeite is carved into lifelike works by a jade carving master. So realistic!

Jade has been a very popular jewelry since it was introduced to China in the early Qing Dynasty, not only because it has unique beauty, but also because of its distinctive temperament, it also brings us more beauty. Generally speaking, jadeite needs to be designed and carved from its raw stone to its finished product. It is through the careful design and carving by the carving masters that jadeite becomes beautiful and charming. Or it is through the unique nature of jadeite itself that jadeite is cleverly designed to make it the most beloved one. This is all thanks to the jadeite carving masters.

Jade not only fascinates people because of its beautiful colors, but some jade raw stones are so unique that they are already works of art. They do not require any processing or carving. They only need simple edge trimming and polishing to become very charming. This method is called free-form carving in the jade industry, and the raw material is also called free-form jade.

Generally speaking, shaped jadeite is made into a work of art simply and directly based on the shape and size of a piece of jadeite raw material. This simple and casually shaped jade reveals its own unique unrestrained and willful nature, contains the charm of simplicity and grandeur, and also makes people have endless aftertaste.

Compared with other jadeite craftsmanship, the craftsmanship of free-form jadeite is relatively simple, it is shipped quickly, and it has ornamental value. However, not every piece of jadeite raw material can be carved into a free-form shape. It must be high-quality material, without cotton, impurities or cracks, with a clean and refreshing base, and the water quality and texture must also reach a certain level.

For carving masters, free-form jade can break the limitations of carving according to fixed themes, give full play to infinite imagination, improve their creative level within the original way of thinking and creation, and surpass themselves. The seemingly simple free-form carving can become a carving style full of various personal expressions.

In the perception of some people, free-form jade is casual and unattractive, and they feel that it has no appreciation value. It does not have the exquisite beauty or shocking feeling of carving. However, free-form jade breaks through traditional thinking and has a more distinctive flavor. It can more directly express the lively beauty of the nature of jade itself.
