Enter the art factory and observe the processing process of jade jewelry up close

"If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object." Every excellent jadeite starts from a raw stone. Jade carving masters make full use of the raw materials to bring out their greatest characteristics! The cutting and processing of jadeite begins with inspecting the material, then observing the jade under the light, peeling the skin, and taking the goods!

Raw material analysis - material inspection

This is the most difficult one. Everything must have a good start. Before processing, a comprehensive understanding and analysis of the actual situation of the raw materials must be conducted. Only experienced people can best understand the quality of jade raw materials!

There is a saying in the jade industry: Don't look at jade under a lamp. But for the raw materials, it is necessary to shine light on them. It is also a matter of experience to analyze the internal situation of the jadeite raw stone by shining light on it.

Jade under the lamp looks so beautiful

To be cautious, for some small ingredients, it is generally necessary to remove the skin first, in order to prepare for the next step by cutting it according to the cracking situation!

One cut, one cut will bring you wealth, one cut will make you poor, one cut will make you wear sackcloth! I was chanting the spell silently, and I was terrified in my heart!

Choosing the right place to cut is the most important thing. If you don't cut it well, we have often seen 1 million yuan turn into 100 yuan! Generally, we choose to cut at the largest crack for the first cut!

Final Slice Pickup

The first step is to cut it open and have a basic understanding of the basic situation of the materials. The next step is to take out the usable materials according to the basic conditions such as color, type, water, cracks, moss, etc.

Principles of cutting:

Be careful to retain as much pigment as possible. Take the dross, keep the essence, and unravel the mystery! But the skill is not in the words, but in the knife!

The cut materials are processed and designed to enhance their value!

Of course, not all materials can be obtained to meet one’s requirements. After several cuts, only something the size of a ring face is left!

Jade has always been loved by people, from small jade rings and earrings to large jade bracelets and necklaces. Chinese people are naturally fond of jade. Today, I will show you how a small piece of jade can be transformed from a small stone into a real work of art.

What Egg Noodle looked like before birth

A piece of white sand salt stone. First look at the stone, then cut open the thick lid with a knife. It just depends on how much meat is inside and how much harm the ringworm has done.

The cut triangle looks big, but only a thin layer is usable, and there is still a lot of black, which can only be removed during the workmanship.

One can be used to make a brand, which is the cracked one. It needs to be cut into smaller pieces. The place with more meat mentioned above can be cut into a triangle, and there is a black piece. The upper and lower parts cannot be used, and only a little meat in the middle can be cut out.

I cut all the ingredients very accurately in just one afternoon, and picked out the best piece to make an egg noodle.

2 small sugar cubes, make a small egg surface and a small horse eye

Even if it is clear material, there are risks everywhere. Small cracks and stains can destroy the value of the finished product.

Draw a dragon hook shape

Everything you wish for! Several lines have been drawn as well...

This piece of material also had its lid removed with a knife, revealing a layer of green, with a thick color and little water. I just don't know if there is any meat inside? I studied it under the light for a while and saw a big crack. I found a stone and hit it a few times. About 1/4 of the crack fell off with a click. I took a look and there was nothing inside!

At that time, the merchants standing by were so worried! ! Who can guarantee that the materials you buy will be completely green when cut? This is the risk of the buyer.

In the picture below, the green on the right is the green color after the lid is cut open, and the brown on the left is the inside of the crack, which is just stone, without jade flesh! ! !

Take the remaining 3/4 piece and cut it into thin slices. I also peeled off some of the skin on the sides. Water droplets and broken stones splashed all over my arms, but I still couldn't see any meat! ! !

Peel off a little more skin on the edges and more green will appear.

Although the meat was taken out, there were still many cracks and it had to be cut again. Black and dirty are rampant. This material is probably just barely enough to break even...

If we cut out the colored parts of this kind of material, what will the finished product look like? Whether you are surprised or not, I was surprised anyway...

It can actually be such a beautiful thing! Although thin, it is full of vitality. It's made from the same material as the one above. The charm of jade is nothing more than this...

The white scraps below are ground into an egg-shaped surface that glows fluorescently!

This is how the little white eggs are formed.
