How is a piece of exquisite jade carved by hand? What processing techniques must it go through?

Jade is a kind of jade, and like other jades, it needs to be carved by hand. What we often see on the market are jade hand-carved products. Jade has a history of thousands of years, and jade carving has also existed for a long time. Jade carving is not so simple and casual. It is necessary to perfectly express the inner beauty of jade itself under the premise of preserving the maximum weight of the rough piece as much as possible.

The ability to perfectly carve jade is mainly reflected in the following aspects.

1. The color tone and contrast of each jade are different. If it is colorless or light yellow jade, the whiter the better.

2. The smoothness of each surface of the jade product. There is a way to achieve this. The light from the light source entering the top of the jade product from any angle can pass through the interior of the jade and the small surface at the top to be emitted, allowing us to see it.

3. Brightness: The white light that enters jade goes through a series of reflections and reflections to be seen by us observers through various different colored lights.

4. Every time you rotate the jade, different sides will flash with different colors, just like the small faces of diamonds.

If these four are achieved, it will be a very good jade carving product, but it is inevitably a bit difficult to achieve all four requirements at the same time. These four can restrain each other. Compared with other jades, jade has a higher refractive index and scattering rate. By calculating different processing proportions and precise craftsmanship, it is carved to improve its color and fully present the beauty of jade.

Jade carvers process jade raw materials into various shapes based on their different appearances. Each carved product has its own differences, but all have a unique beauty. Especially in the era of technological innovation, many new elements have been added, and a variety of fashionable styles are available for everyone to choose.

The value of jade is mainly observed from the aspects of color, transparency, texture, purity, etc. In addition, in the case of personal collection, it is also necessary to consider whether the jade is natural.

There is also a misconception about the value of jade in terms of hand-carving: some people think that the more complicated the hand-carving of jade is, the more valuable it is. This view is wrong. As for jade products, the simpler the hand-carving of jade is, the more valuable it is. We can see in the market that plain jade bracelets are more expensive than carved jade bracelets. The actual reason is that plain jade can perfectly show the type, color, flaws and other quality-related factors of the jade, and although the carved jade bracelet is complicated, the main reason may be to cover up the flaws of the jade itself.
