Jadeite rough stone cutting skills, where to make the first cut

No one can tell what is inside an unopened jadeite, except for its shape, weight and appearance. Stone cutting is called "stone cutting" or "stone cutting" in the industry. Only after stone cutting can jade get rid of its roughness and bloom with beauty. However, if you are not careful during the cutting process, a piece of beautiful jade may turn into waste stone. So, what are the techniques for cutting jadeite raw stone?

Raw material analysis - Before processing, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the actual situation of the raw materials. Only through analysis can you prescribe the right remedy and make appropriate adjustments based on the materials.

Stone slicing refers to the first cut to split the stone. How you cut is the key. If you don’t cut it well, it is entirely possible that one million will turn into one hundred thousand! After careful observation and judgment, you need to choose the direction for cutting. If there is a crack, the first cut is mainly along the grain.

Principles of cutting:

(1) Be especially careful with pigments, making sure not to destroy the green color. If the materials are cut well, used well, and shipped well, greater profits can be obtained, so experience is very important for the cutting master.

(2) Start cutting from the worst part. Before you gain experience, it is better to start with the worst part so that you won’t lose too much.

(3) Make the finished product as large as possible. The larger the finished product, the rarer it is and the higher its value. If you can make bracelets, make them first and use the rest to make small accessories. Those with many cracks can only be made into decorative pieces or carvings.

(4) The principle of dual use: Pattern pieces and plain bodies should be developed simultaneously. If plain bodies are possible, try to make them plain instead of just one size fits all.
