The core of the glutinous ice jade bracelet with floating flowers is designed by the jade carver in the style of antiques, which has a different charm!

Antique themes are one of the very important themes in the development of jade carvings. These patterns and totems handed down from ancient times are mysterious and solemn, which fascinates modern people. Each antique pattern or totem has its specific meaning. For example: cloud patterns are the worship of clouds; grain patterns symbolize a good harvest; animal patterns are to ward off evil spirits; and Taotie patterns are to warn against greed. Different pattern carvings have different symbols and meanings.

This is an old glutinous ice bracelet core with good water quality and floating flowers. The jade carver took advantage of the characteristics of the material and decided to make an antique theme.

According to the design theme, the jade carver first cuts the core of the jade bracelet into shape. The brand is designed to be convex in the middle and slightly lower on both sides, with rounded edges. This makes the brand appear round and full, and more antique.

There are two very important techniques in the carving of antique themes: one is that the pattern must be symmetrical on the left and right, and the beauty of symmetry is the foundation of the entire antique theme; the other is that the lines must be smooth and fluent. Whether it is an antique theme of decorative or totem type, the carving lines must be completed in one go and be smooth to the end.

Many times, these patterns or totems are expressed through the techniques of negative carving and positive carving. How to make the pattern look clearer and the layering more obvious is what the sculptor must consider when carving. To do all of this well, the most important thing is to use the curved surface of the pattern.

Then polishing is carried out. Taking into account that the jade in the floating flower part is a bit dry and loose, and there are stone patterns in some places, the smooth part is frosted and matte, and the patterned part is glossy. This technique is used to cover up some natural flaws.

Friends who are fond of antique themes have cultural symbols in their bones. Imitation of the antique does not mean no pursuit of novelty, but innovation in traditional ancient patterns and totems, following the meaning of these patterns and totems, carving with new techniques and new forms of expression, and forming one's own unique creative style.
