To judge the value of a piece of jade, one must look at the product's "type, water, color, and workmanship." The quality of raw materials is one of the important factors affecting the price of jade, and the carving workmanship cannot be ignored. We often see a top-grade jadeite that is plain throughout and has a simple design. Some people would say that the carving of top-grade jade is very poor. Actually, this is not the case. The daily work of every jade carver is to stare blankly at a pile of jadeite raw stones. However, this daze is priceless. A flash of inspiration may double the value of an inconspicuous piece of raw material. The processing of every detail and the optimization of every line are the result of the sculptor's hard work. They incorporate their own understanding into the design of jade, adding brilliance to jade products. Therefore, hand-carved jade is more popular and more vital. Jade carvers give jade new life forms with their understanding of beauty. From the perspective of artificial carving, the added value of such exquisite jade will increase a lot. The beauty of jade carving lies in its man-made beauty as well as its natural beauty. How to maximize human understanding and the original beauty of raw materials has become one of the unremitting pursuits of top jade carvers. Simple and elegant jade design is the best way to show the beauty of jade raw materials. “Good jade does not need to be carved.” Top-quality raw materials are crystal clear and can be sold after simple carving and polishing. Don’t ever think that only jadeite with complex carvings is good jadeite. Products with particularly intricate carvings usually have some obvious flaws in the jade raw materials. Because these flaws affect the original beauty of the jade, carvers use various patterns to cover them up. Top-grade jade raw materials are generally used to make these four types of jewelry: bracelets, beads, pendants, and ring faces. As we all know, jade bracelets are one of the most valuable types of all jade jewelry. Generally, jade bracelets with good water quality have relatively simple carvings. In addition to the beautiful appearance of the jade bracelet, the value of the bracelet also comes from its cultural value. A good jade bracelet is not only a beautiful decoration for people, but also a family heirloom. It represents an oriental charm and oriental values. When it comes to jade beads jewelry, many people always think that the beads are made of jade scraps, with low prices and poor quality. But that’s not actually the case. First of all, everyone should know that making beads is extremely time-consuming. For example, if a bracelet core material is cut into larger beads, it may only produce four or five beads. Even if you have a piece of material weighing several kilograms, it is very likely that you won’t be able to make many bracelets. Secondly, jade beads have high requirements for raw materials. Jade beads should be of uniform color and size. Therefore, if you want to make an exquisite jade bead necklace, the material must be large enough and the color must be pure and uniform. Jade ring jewelry has even higher requirements for jade raw materials. The materials used for the ring faces should have good water content, be bright and dazzling, and the colors should be vivid. Only such products have the feeling of being pearly. Moreover, the ring face has almost no flaws. Cracks, cotton and black spots are the fatal flaws of jade ring faces. It is impossible for a good ring face to have these obvious flaws. This is one of the reasons why jade rings look flawless. There is another type of jade ornament that often appears in plain style, and that is the jadeite Wu Shi Pai. The jadeite Wu Shi Pai is a traditional jade artifact that is relatively popular among people. Its most distinctive features are that it is smooth on six sides and has no carvings. The meaning of the Wu Shi Pai comes from its flat shape, which means "peace and safety", implying peace and everything goes well. Jade pendant is the best embodiment of the beauty of a piece of jade. We can tell at a glance whether the color of the brand is full and uniform, whether the jade has any flaws, etc. The materials that can be used to make plain cards are generally not bad. A large piece of jade can be cut into many pieces, but only the best quality parts are used to make plain pieces. Therefore, plain plaques are often more expensive than carved ones. As for the fine jade materials, out of the mentality of cherishing the materials, sculptors usually use the simplest themes and the simplest carvings to show the best quality of jade. Jade is a gift from nature to mankind. We discovered jade, moved jade, and used our wisdom and skills to show the exquisite side of jade to more people. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
