What you don't know: jade processing details

The details of jade processing. After any piece of jade is finally processed into what kind of jewelry based on its cracks, quality and the distribution of internal structure, what is the order of the processing technology?

For the things we need to process, the jade carver will first use his thinking and his painting skills to express the pattern of the entire shape on the jade. This is called design. After the design is completed, processing will begin. The first step of processing is called cutting large. As the name suggests, cutting large is to process the general shape of the jade we want to process, such as the outline of a figure or the general shape of an animal. The quality of the processing technology is in the step of cutting large. If it cannot be shown, it proves that the level of the processing master needs to be improved.

After large-scale cutting and processing, the second step is rough carving. Rough carving is to outline the rough contours of the entire jade jewelry that needs to be processed, such as the facial features, ears, nose, mouth, eyes, limbs, body shape, etc., and carve out the local features. With such an outline, the third step is fine carving, which is to depict and outline the details of the object we need to carve. On the premise of rough carving, for example, the ears, nose, eyes and mouth of the character are all available.

Then the details such as eyebrows, lips, teeth, hair and other tiny places are all processed in the fine carving stage, and all the details of the entire jade piece are outlined, making it a semi-finished jade jewelry. After processing to this step, the jade can actually be sold on the market.

Such jade is only one step away from being a finished product, so the last step of jade processing is polishing. The carved jade carving is polished through a polishing process, and its rough surface is polished into a mirror finish. This makes the entire piece of jade as bright and clean as new, and will not damage the skin when worn, and the human wearing feel is perfectly reflected. The saying "skin-friendly" is reflected here. The general jade processing order is as described above.

However, some high-end jade needs to reflect its nobility and magnificence, and can be further processed through inlay techniques. Therefore, the processing of jade is a perfect and organic combination of carving and inlaying. Carving is a typical oriental art, while metal inlay is the embodiment of Western metal texture. The perfect fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, finally some top-level collection-level jade is presented before our eyes.
