From raw stone to finished product, learn about the production process of jade peace lockets. Although simple, it has profound meaning!

Jade is a popular jade stone, formed through billions of years of geological action. Before being carved, jade is just an inconspicuous piece of jade. Only after cutting, polishing and carving does it look like an ornament. Among jade, there is a common and popular style, which is very simple and elegant. It can be worn by men, women, young and old. That is the jade peace buckle, which people have given the simple and plain meaning of "peace".

Jade peace buckles have existed since ancient times. In ancient times, they were also called: nostalgic and arhat eyes. It is a very traditional yet classic shape in ancient jade jewelry. It is said to have evolved from ancient coins, with some changes, so it formed an outer circle and inner circle shape. It is very unique and recognizable. It symbolizes the vastness of the world and implies inner tranquility. It is a meaningful and classic style, simple but not simplistic.

So how do these tiny jade pendants go from humble stones to finished products? Let me show you the production process of the jade peace buckle:

1. Jadeite Rough Stone Cutting

The raw jadeite is angular like an enlarged pebble and has a skin on the surface. It is hard to imagine that this is a priceless jadeite jewelry just by looking at its appearance. It is just a piece of stone. Although the raw jadeite comes in many colors, to an outsider it looks like a large pebble. Only after it is cut does it look like jade.

In the cutting of raw stones, in addition to using large cutting machines, water is also needed to cool the jade so that the cut jade will not crack.

2. After the jadeite raw stone is cut into pieces, the material is read

The raw jadeite is cut into slices by machines, and then the material needs to be read through a light. Cracks and flaws need to be avoided, and finally a circle is drawn on the relatively perfect jadeite with a pen.

Because of the complexity of the material inside, after avoiding those defects, the materials taken out will vary in size, which is determined by the jade material.

Jade is formed naturally in nature, so it is not perfect. Those jades that look particularly perfect are just avoiding the flaws of jade. The ones that cannot be avoided can only have some regrets. Jade is just like people, there is no perfection. Therefore, you need to look at jade with an inclusive mind in order to find the most suitable jade.

3. Jade cutting and material collection

The part of the jade sheet with the markings is cut by machine and manually, and then the approximate shape of the jade pendant can be obtained.

This is equivalent to a semi-finished product of a jade pendant. You can see its general shape, but it is difficult to imagine what the finished product will look like just by looking at such jade, because it is still an inconspicuous "ugly duckling".

The floating flower jadeite we see looks like this, and this piece of jadeite has floating green flowers, which looks very vivid.

Those first-hand jade pendants are processed in batches, and they are as similar as sisters.

4. Polishing of Jade Peace Buckle

Unpolished jade is commonly known in the industry as "rough goods". Jade will have a glassy luster only after being polished. Unpolished jade looks like candle with a matte texture. It takes several polishing processes for jade to transform from an "ugly duckling" into a beautiful "white swan".

5. The difference between Wu Shi Pai and Ping An Kou

There are also strict classifications in the naming of jade. If a round jade has no hole in the center, it is called a "wu shi pai", while the jade with a hole in the center can be called a "jade peace locket".

6. Styles of Peace Buckle

The holes on jade pendants also come in different sizes, which are obviously related to the flaws of jade. These holes have no effect on jade. The key is that the styles will be different, so you can choose according to your needs.

Jadeite without inlays is called a plain peace locket. It is simple and elegant, suitable for jade lovers who like simple and elegant style, as well as men and babies. If the quality of the jadeite is good enough, the simple jadeite will be more spiritual.
