Ceiling-level jadeite, the cold light is very charming, and the manufacturing process from stone to bracelet is more exquisite

Glass is the most familiar item and is most commonly seen in daily life. Because it is man-made, it is transparent and free of impurities. Compared to the common glass, jade seems a little unfamiliar, so experts call a kind of jade that is like glass - glass jade. It is used to describe the type of jade as being as transparent as glass, but jade is more spiritual than glass and looks more like the beauty of overflowing cold light. It is for this reason that glass-type jade has become a high-end fine product among jade.

Glass jade is considered to be the most precious variety of jade. Although ice jade is more common, glass jade is not very common, so the price difference between the two is not just a little, but several times. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and this is also well proven in the case of glass-type jadeite.

The more common ones are glass-type jade egg-shaped faces, because such egg-shaped faces make rings or pendants with a strong luminous feeling, and the light in the jade egg-shaped faces seems to have legs and can move. This is because the light is refracted and reflected in jade, which is a very magical effect. It is precisely because of the transparency and absence of impurities in glass that it can better present the sense of light.

Bracelets are extremely rare among glass-type jadeite. Let's witness the processing and production process of a glass-type jadeite bracelet from raw stone to finished product, which is completed entirely by machines and manual labor.

1. Glass jadeite rough stone

A strong flashlight is an essential tool for viewing jadeite rough stones. Shine the light on jadeite rough stones to produce surprising results. If you shine the light on an ordinary stone, there will be no reflective effect because the inside is opaque and strong light will be useless.

This is a glass-type jadeite rough stone cut in half. If it is not cut, its appearance looks like a big stone and is not noticeable at all. Only when the rough stone is cut, can you see that the inside is transparent and relatively clean, with fog around it, rather than being a completely pure stone.

2. Sliced ​​jadeite rough stone

Cut the large material into sheets that can be cut into bracelets, and then use a pen and ruler to measure the size and mark the position. Generally speaking, jade raw materials will be considered whether they can be made into bracelets. Only after the bracelets are made will the remaining materials be used as materials for pendants, etc. Therefore, jade bracelets of the same quality are many times more expensive than pendants. This is also because bracelets have very high requirements on materials. They must reach a certain area before they can be cut into bracelets. Compared with other jade jewelry, bracelets consume a lot of material.

3. Embryo retrieval

Select the embryo removal tool according to the size of the sheet and install it on the machine. This step needs to be completed by the machine.

The machine is spinning at high speed, and during this period it needs uninterrupted water cooling to keep the jade at a certain temperature to prevent it from cracking.

4. Bracelets and Bracelet Hearts

The machine is much more efficient than manual labor. After the machine stops, this is the cut bracelet and bracelet core. The shape of the bracelet can be seen preliminarily, and the jade as a whole is transparent and pure!

5. Polished Jade Bracelet

The next step is to grind off the square bracelet's edges and corners, and during this period it will be polished by hand and machine, slowly revealing the arc shape of the bracelet and the perfect luster of the glass. This kind of luminosity that can be seen on the machine is only available with top-grade glass.

6. Processed jade bracelet

Does the polished jade bracelet feel like glass? Jade polishing is also an extremely delicate job, which requires using different sandpapers from coarse to fine, and polishing back and forth continuously. This is also a process of waiting for the clouds to clear and the moon to appear. Only jade with good enough quality will have a stronger glassy feel after polishing. It feels like steel, very hard, but also has a very spiritual feel.

7. Close-up of glass jadeite bracelet

Let’s take a close-up to see how beautiful the cold light of glass jade is. This is the difference between jade and glass. This sense of light overflows from the inside out. It is so transparent that you can see through even your fingers. It is so pure that no structure of the jade can be seen with the naked eye. It is so beautiful that words cannot describe it.

8. Jade scraps are also top quality

Don't underestimate the scraps of jade. Like this glass-type jade material, each egg-shaped piece polished from the scraps is of top quality.

The core of the jade bracelet can be processed into a pendant or a peace locket as needed. The light from jade cannot be hidden, and this is under dim light. It will look better under sunlight.

Glass jade bracelets are the most perfect among jade. Their texture, water quality, transparency, etc. are all at the highest level. Their value is very high whether for appreciation or collection. Also because of its rarity and high cost, it is difficult to find in the general jade trading market. Glass-type jade egg-shaped faces are still available, and it is a good choice as a second best option.
