There are two main factors that affect the quality of jade carving: one is the design of the raw material, the other is the workmanship.

Man takes care of jade for three years, and jade takes care of man for a lifetime. Only if we take the time to play with and understand the connotation of jade, can we truly appreciate the true beauty of jade while nurturing it. On the one hand, we can improve the gloss and transparency of jade by playing with it, making it more beautiful and spiritual; on the other hand, the process of touching jade can bring physical and mental health to people and educate their lives.

Jade carving is an important process that transforms jade from a natural stone into a work of art. It is the process by which the jade carver gives jade soul and life.

The better the jade rough material, the more it can inspire the creative inspiration of the jade carver. Good jade carving not only reflects the painstaking efforts of the jade carver, but is also directly related to the quality and value of the finished jade product. There are two main factors that affect the quality of jade carving: one is the design of the jade raw material, and the other is the workmanship of the jade.

design

1. Good design draft, with its own charm

As the saying goes, "Well begun is half done." The success of a jade work is first reflected in the design draft. A good design draft can make the carved work more spiritual. A bad design draft will not only affect the beauty of the finished product, but may even waste a piece of jade raw material.

2. Design and carving, fit each other

As the saying goes: Art should be applied in accordance with the material; jade carvers must first understand the stone, and then design according to the material's trends and characteristics, so that the carving and the stone fit perfectly. Even if the stone contains flaws, they can create according to the characteristics of the stone, turning decay into magic.

3. Proper proportions and reasonable composition

The quality of the final product is also reflected in the proportions of the design work. A good jade carver is the "Bo Le" of jadeite. After observing the jadeite, he can grasp the proportions of the design and make the most reasonable design that makes people feel comfortable. Poor design proportions will make the work look rigid and far-fetched.

4. Simplify the complex and create beauty through simplicity

Jade itself is small in size, and carving patterns on it requires exquisite skills. For jade, the more complex the carving is, the more valuable it is. The most perfect one is the one that can perfectly present the simplicity of the jade itself and conform to the design of the object itself.

5. Aesthetic level determines the beauty of the work

The jade carver's ideological level and creative ability determine the presentation effect of the design, which tests the jade carver's aesthetic ability, vision and courage. Works with poor design effects will destroy the visual appreciation effect and may even lead to improper water quality, affecting the quality of the jade. Works with high creativity can make the presented works more suitable for jade materials.

work

1. The details are the key

The biggest difference between good and bad carving lies in the treatment of details. Good carving, in general, means that the carving skills are exquisite, natural, smooth, and aesthetic, and can perfectly combine jade and carving.

As for those carvings with poor workmanship, in addition to being crudely made, the details are often not carefully decorated and carved. Many places are hastily sketched out, and are rough and rigid.

2. Hand-carved with vitality

Good carvings are usually hand-carved, with smooth lines and exquisite details. Works carved by machines or computers have smooth edges and appear rather stiff, and the carving is not as smooth as hand-carving. It has no vitality and can only be regarded as a handicraft. It is a low-end product among carvings. Its collection value and survival space are extremely small.

70% creativity and 30% craftsmanship. Good design and workmanship determine the level of craftsmanship. Good carving can create higher value for jade works.
