Why is a small jade egg-shaped piece so expensive? Processing process of jade egg-shaped surface

Among jadeite, the most precious and most numerous are probably bracelets, necklaces and cabochons. However, compared with bracelets and necklaces, cabochons have higher requirements and are particularly wasteful, so jadeite rings are particularly expensive in the market. The raw materials are processed step by step into a product, which must have gone through a lot of considerations. Observe carefully how many bracelets, beads, and egg-shaped surfaces can be made from this piece of jade?

Among them, egg noodles seem to cost the least, but in fact they are very expensive, especially the top-grade ones, whose prices are unimaginable for ordinary people. First of all, the egg-shaped surface is relatively small, but the requirements for the jade material are very high. The egg-shaped surface is generally a single color, and there must not be any impurities, colors, or small black spots on the jade material. The jade quality is also very high.

Only when these conditions are met and a certain level is reached can a valuable egg-shaped diamond be polished. After removing the dirt and cracks from a large piece of jade, it will be cut into various small pieces. Then, from these small pieces, the parts with only a single color will be extracted. Only in this way can the requirements of the egg-shaped surface be met. This process is extremely energy-consuming and also consumes a lot of jade.

If we cannot guarantee that the scooped egg-shaped noodles can reach a relatively high texture, then we can also consider making them into beads, because this will have a higher cost-effectiveness. After being dug out, the material needs to be polished into a rounded arc, and the subsequent steps are also very critical, which is a great test of the craftsman's skills.

From a craftsmanship perspective, the overall outline of the egg-shaped surface must be rounded, the curves must be smooth, the angles must be symmetrical, and the proportions must be appropriate, so that it can bring a very good visual effect to everyone. In this way, the jade material, which is already of particularly good quality, can have a fluorescent feeling through these techniques and the illumination of light, and the egg-shaped surface will appear to have greater spirituality.

The egg-shaped surfaces that we often see in daily life include not only perfect round and oval shapes, but also various other shapes. In fact, jade can be polished into many shapes, and different shapes can also adapt to different inlay techniques and everyone's requirements for them. However, perfect round and oval are the most classic and versatile types of all egg-shaped surfaces. If you see the egg-shaped noodles wrapped in metal, remember that this is not a shortcut by the merchants but is to better protect the egg-shaped noodles and to present a better appearance.
