Looking at the carving process of top-grade jadeite rough material, every step is thrilling

There is a saying in the jade industry: "Good materials will never be made with bad workmanship." Jadeite materials with excellent colors and varieties must be the result of the exquisite work of skilled craftsmen.

This piece of material is so big, the color is so good and it is so complete, it is really rare to find it. You must find a master carver to do the carving.

You have to know that with just a simple cut, tens of thousands of dollars will be gone. The cost of materials alone is hundreds of millions. The general outline has emerged.

The carving process of this material is really thrilling. Finally, looking at the appearance after polishing, it is really amazing.

This full green Tara jadeite was finally sold for HK$13,882,353!

At this point, there must be many people who sigh, "It's too expensive!!! It's just a piece of stone!" It seems to make sense. But then again, there must be a reason why it is expensive.

1. Uniqueness of Origin

Currently, 95% of the top-quality jade on the market comes from Myanmar. Due to the long period of mining, many old mines are on the verge of exhaustion or have been forcibly closed by the government, which makes things rare and valuable!

2. High mining costs

The jade mining fee includes the Myanmar government's purchase of mining rights and the labor and machinery costs during mining. A small piece of jade is the result of a lot of effort and sweat, and it is not easy to come by.

3. Large market demand

When it comes to jade, it is better to have less than too little. Don’t buy too much, just buy good quality ones. This is because good jade has great potential for appreciation and not only can it bring joy, but also has potential value.

Since ancient times, China has advocated "it is better to be broken into pieces than to be intact in disgrace" and "a gentleman is as virtuous as jade". Nowadays, people also say that someone is as gentle as jade and regard wearing jade as a symbol of elegance and status. So once you get it, you must cherish it.
