The production and processing process of jadeite, from jadeite raw stone to finished product

Although jade has the highest market value, it is also for this reason that most jade on the market is sold in the form of jewelry. This is also to maximize the value of jade. Through some production techniques, the texture of jade can be better reflected. So how is jade processed?

Genuine jadeite is quite rare. From a raw jadeite to a finished product, and finally to the hands of consumers, it goes through many hands and has the price increased at every level, making authenticity a relative concept. In terms of the market, jadeite has some characteristics that other treasures do not have, and most of them are processed through various production techniques and then sold as jewelry. So what are the steps for jadeite raw stones to be processed into jadeite jewelry?

The first step is to determine how to process the material based on its texture, size, color and shape, based on rich experience.

Material selection is crucial for the production of jade. The first step plays a vital role in whether a jade jewelry is good or not. Because no matter what other aspects of the production are like, its water quality, texture, etc. all play a key role. This is also a point that must be paid attention to.

Another method is to use an oil stone to polish it first. If the previous carving was relatively rough, you need to use oil stones of different coarseness and fineness in turn. This is the most comprehensive process.

Then the second step is design

On the basis of fully reflecting the advantages of the jade material, eliminating obvious shortcomings as much as possible and retaining the effective part of the jade material to the greatest extent is a very critical process, which determines the future artistic life of the material. The design requirements are also very high. No matter how good the texture of jade is, if there is no good design, the production process of jade will not be very successful.

The third step is to finalize

It is to roughly draw a preliminary outline on the material with pen and ink based on the design style, so as to finalize the prototype of the design. This method is almost a finalized process, and this process is also very important. Subsequent production is based on this process.

The fourth step is cutting

Saw the material according to the rough outline. Then the excess parts of the rough outline that cannot be sawed off are chopped off. After being processed in this way, the jadeite already has a certain prototype. This is very important in terms of production, because if you are not careful you may ruin the entire jadeite, so you must pay attention and be careful during processing.

After the above processes, it has basically taken shape. What remains is the fine carving of the jade, carving the material, and grinding off those sharp edges. Processing the fine parts of the jade pieces. The jade piece is then finely processed, and at this point, a piece of jadeite has basically been carved into shape.

The fifth step is polishing

The last step is the polishing of jade. Polishing can affect the gloss of a jade jewelry, so it is also an aspect that requires attention.
