The production process of various jadeite, from jadeite raw stones to finished products

Jadeite that offers great value for money is quite rare. From jadeite rough stone to finished product, and finally to the hands of customers, it goes through many layers of transfer and price increases, so great value for money has always been a relative definition. From the market perspective, jadeite has some characteristics that other treasures do not have, and most of them are processed through many levels of craftsmanship and then sold as ornaments. So what process does jadeite rough stone go through to be processed into jadeite ornaments?

The first step is to judge how to process the jade raw material based on its material, size, color and shape, based on rich experience.

Material selection is particularly important for the production of jade. The first step plays a particularly important role in the quality of a jade ornament. Because no matter what other aspects of the production are, the type and material of jade all play an important role. This is also a point that must be taken seriously.

Another method is to use a whetstone, that is, use a small whetstone to polish it first. If the hand-carved work is relatively rough, use whetstones of different sizes one after another. This belongs to the most advanced processing method.

The second step is to design a plan

On the basis of highlighting the advantages of the jade raw stone, eliminating obvious defects as much as possible and preserving the reasonable parts of the jade raw stone to the greatest extent is a very important process, which determines the future artistic life of the jade raw stone. The requirements for design are also very high. No matter how good the jade material is, if there is no good design, the jade processing technology will not be very successful.

The third step is shaping

It is to roughly draw the basic outline on the jade raw stone with ink pen according to the style of the design, and finalize the prototype of the design. This method is similar to a shaping process, which is also very important. The subsequent production is all based on this process.

The fourth step is cutting

The jade raw stone is sawed out according to the roughly drawn outline. Then the unnecessary parts of the rough outline that cannot be sawed off are chopped off. After this kind of processing, the jadeite already has a certain prototype. This is very important in terms of manufacturing, because if you are not careful, the entire jadeite may be ruined, so you must pay attention and be careful in processing.

After the above process, the jade has basically taken shape, and the rest is the fine carving of jade, cutting the jade raw stone, and grinding away those sharp edges and corners. Processing is done on a tiny part of the jade piece. The jade pieces are further processed, and at this point, a piece of jade work has been basically carved into shape.

The fifth step is grinding and polishing

The last step is to polish the jade. Polishing can affect the gloss of a jade ornament, so it is also an aspect that needs to be taken seriously.
