Some people say that since the jade ring face is so small, it must be the cheapest among all jades, right? Is this really true?

Many novices have an illusion at the beginning: they think jade egg-shaped faces should be cheaper. They are so small, and compared to the extremely high requirements for cutting materials for bracelets, egg-shaped faces should be easy to make, and they can be used from any piece of material. The price shouldn't be that high. But is this really the case?

How to make a jade ring face?

After the jadeite raw stone is cut, if the effect of making a ring face can be achieved, take out the part to be polished, and then plan how to polish (design the shape) according to the specific situation, grind off the unnecessary parts and take out the essence.

Then polish and observe how to grind specifically, grind off the cracks and impurities, polish again after grinding, observe again, and repeat this cycle until it is perfect or close to perfect.

This often happens that from a large piece of jadeite raw stone, only a small ring face can be taken out. Making a ring face requires a lot of time and effort. Moreover, there are very few jade materials that can be used to make ring faces. They need to be full, have sufficient water content and good color. Therefore, the price of jade is high, but it is reasonable.

Jade egg-shaped face: also called the "eyes" of jade

The jade egg-shaped surface is the essence of jade, and it is required to be absolutely free of cracks. The material selection for the production of the egg-shaped surface is more demanding than that of ordinary jade products.

Don’t think that jade egg-shaped faces have no craftsmanship

The jade egg-shaped faces made by different jade masters are different, which means that they have different craftsmanship. A good jade egg-shaped face has a central axis and is symmetrical and even, rather than slightly crooked. The jade egg-shaped surface is also called the "eyes" of jade and is the precious soul of a piece of jade. Moreover, every piece of raw stone that can be used to make jade egg-shaped faces must be flawless and can be said to be a perfect material in an ideal state. Jade eggs have very high requirements for raw stones, which is a consensus among everyone in the jade industry.

Several requirements for jade egg-shaped

color

The most taboo thing about ring faces is color changes. Even if the species, water, etc. are good, but the color is changeable, then such material is not suitable for making ring faces.

Water

In addition to color, the type of ring face is also very important. Jade ring faces that emit light are relatively more valuable. For collectors, it is better to choose those that emit light.

Cracks

In terms of material selection, the requirements for making ring faces are higher than those for making other jade products. Problems such as cracks, white cotton, and black spots are normal on flower pieces, bracelets, and necklaces, but are considered defects on ring faces. In this regard, please pay more attention when purchasing.

size

The size of the ring face will also have a key impact on the price. A ring face that is too small will not be worth much even if the color and quality are good. If the ring face is a size larger, the price may increase exponentially.

After reading the above content, we can understand how hard it is to get a small ring face, so we should wear it and cherish it!
