The small jade egg-shaped face is so expensive.

Many friends who are new to jade usually have a misunderstanding: they believe that jade egg-shaped jade is the smallest of all jade jewelry and the price should be relatively low. Because compared to bracelets and pendants that have strict requirements on materials, small egg-shaped noodles seem to be easier to process.

However, after a deeper understanding, you will be surprised to find that a small jade egg-shaped surface is often sold at a sky-high price, easily tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. The reasons are often puzzling. Let's talk about some of the reasons today.

01

Why are jade egg-shaped diamonds so expensive?

Although the size is small, the material selection is very demanding

The requirements for the raw stone of egg-shaped diamonds are very high. They must be colorless or full of color, avoid patterns, and the water quality must reach a certain level. For natural jadeite, it is very difficult to achieve a single color without mentioning the quality of the jadeite.

Although the size is small, the craftsmanship requirements are high

The craftsmanship requirements for egg-shaped objects are definitely no lower than those for carvings.

In terms of craftsmanship, the outline of the ring face must be smooth and graceful, symmetrical up and down and left and right, and the length and width must also reach a certain proportion to achieve the most harmonious visual effect.

When it comes to polishing, don't think that you can just polish the egg-shaped surface casually. In order to present the ultimate beauty of the ring face, the production of the egg-shaped surface is a brain-intensive task that combines mathematical geometry and artistic aesthetics.

The requirements for egg noodles can be described as "nitpicking". Based on years of experience, the ingredients that can be used to make egg noodles must be good ingredients.

02. How to make jade egg-shaped surface

The process of making egg noodles looks simple, but it is not. In order to achieve the best color and transparency of the egg-shaped surface and the least defects and impurities, a very large piece of raw stone can only produce a small egg in the end, and the rest of the stone will become waste. Let’s look at the following example:

(1) A large piece of material like the one below has first-rate quality and color.

(2) Cut the material

(3) Among the many slices, find a part that is old, spicy, and juicy. This is the ideal egg yolk filling! You see, this is almost the limit of good material.

Only by cutting the entire piece of wool into pieces and carefully selecting can you get a little bit of egg fabric, the rest becomes waste. As the essence of the essence, how can egg noodles not be expensive?

There are still some jade lovers who raise doubts, thinking that the small egg-shaped surface is of little use and difficult to collect. Take a look at the cluster-set styles below. I guarantee you’ll fall in love with them at first sight. Next time you see a small egg-shaped diamond like this, buy one!
