What are the conditions required to produce top-quality jadeite? Here’s the secret!

What kind of jade can be called top-grade jade? What are the conditions required to produce top-quality jadeite?

There are a lot of jades on the market, but very few can be called top quality. The best is naturally valuable because of its extreme. The "extreme" mentioned here includes the following three aspects:

1. Use the best materials

The economic base determines the superstructure. A top-quality creation must have top-quality material, which is the decisive foundation. The selection of jade materials cannot be fictitious, it must be real!

For top-quality jade carvings, the materials used must have beautiful colors, a smooth texture, good raw materials must be selected, and the carving themes must be designed to be suitable for various jade materials. Therefore, when selecting materials, you need to have the following: 1. Select materials with good water quality or good color; 2. Select materials with rich colors. This kind of material may not be of good quality, but it has room for creativity; 3. Select tail materials, that is, use the worst raw materials to make the best products, which can better demonstrate extraordinary design creativity.

2. Carving should be extreme

There are many types of jade carvings, mainly figures, flowers, landscapes, utensils, birds and beasts, etc. The quality identification and value assessment of different types of jade pieces are different. The main factors to be considered are: Jade pieces must be creative, and the overall design must be based on the properties, shape, and color of the jade, with all impurities removed and the art used in accordance with the material.

The shape of jade pieces should be beautiful, natural and vivid. The overall composition should be reasonably laid out, the structure should be sparse and dense, the layers should be clear, and the theme should be prominent. The carving is delicate, the large surface is smooth, the small areas are neat, and the overlapping digging, hooking, rolling and bumping must meet certain depth requirements. The surface of jadeite should be bright, moist and flat, with uniform size, no distortion in shape, even waxing and no green powder on the surface.

Many jade lovers complain: Looking around in the jade market, all you see are either Guanyin or Tathagata, and these are all the same. In fact, this is a relationship between demand and supply. If the demand is great, there will naturally be more products supplied. Of course, there is more than just Guanyin and Tathagata in the jade market.

How to create an admirable work in the dazzling jade carving market, whether it is to break away from the mainstream of Guanyin, Tathagata, etc. and forge a new path, or to create individuality within the mainstream. The materials and carving skills are available, and the highlight is creativity. Creativity is the soul of jade carving. The level of a true jade carving master cannot be proven solely by his superb craftsmanship.

Because creativity has no fixed routine to follow and cannot be easily accomplished overnight, it must be based on mastering the carving characteristics of a variety of raw materials, accumulating a large amount of actual creations, and carefully savoring the style and charm of the jade carvings of predecessors and masters, so that one can have confidence before putting pen to paper.
