There are some rules for cutting jadeite, and the value of your jadeite will be increased a hundred times by cutting it this way.

When it comes to jade, if you want to get a certain egg-shaped shape, bracelet, pendant, or ornament, the cutting of the material is extremely particular. A good jade cutting master can accurately and skillfully cut (cut) the original stone according to the characteristics of the original stone itself to achieve the maximum utilization and value of the jade.

The cutting of jade raw materials is extremely particular, and usually the jade raw stone is cut according to the direction of the cracks, color, and size. Cut into different materials according to the works to be produced. The works produced are different and their values ​​vary greatly. Cutting materials is generally divided into these several orders.

Ice glass jadeite flakes

The water quality is excellent and the color can reach the imperial green to make beads

The making of a bead necklace pays more attention to the matching of species, water and color. Only when all aspects are coordinated together can it become a perfect bead necklace. When a string of beads is matched together, there should be no color deviation and the size should be the same.

The material is large and has no cracks or flaws.

Bracelets are more susceptible to bumps due to the nature of how they are worn. Therefore, when cutting the material, only the material that is perfect, without cracks, in large blocks, and with high-quality water quality can be used to make bracelets. After the piece of material is cut, draw a circle to find the best position for the bracelet. Use a professional jade ring-making machine to follow the circles previously drawn on the jade sheet, replace the drill bit with the corresponding circle size, and then start putting on the ring. During the ring-putting process, try to keep the jade sheet moist, otherwise the jade will easily crack.

The best water quality is used to make ring egg-shaped

Although the requirements for egg-shaped jade are not as high as those for bracelets, the requirements for water quality are very high. Many times, jadeite with good quality occupies a very small area in a piece of jade, and jadeite with pure color is even rarer. Therefore, the production of egg noodles is very demanding and also very time-consuming. When making egg noodles, the water phase must be balanced in order to be perfectly taken out.

In order to avoid cracks and flaws when cutting the material and form irregular shapes, the jade carver will no longer choose to carve, but will simply polish it to preserve the characteristics of the material itself as much as possible without destroying the color of the material.

Figure Sculptures

Figure carvings are mainly found in Buddha statues. China's worship of Buddha is very old, with Buddha statues, grottoes, etc. appearing in large numbers in various places. Buddhist themes are also the most common themes in jade carvings. Many jade carvers pursue the carving of Buddha statues, but many jade carvers are innovating and creating surreal themes such as baby Buddha and formless Buddha.

Flower pieces

Taking into account the characteristics of the material, the cutting is done according to the color of the material and to avoid cracks. In the later period, jade carvers made ingenious designs based on the size and color of the material. Carve out your own artistic life on a piece of material through different expression methods and art forms.

If you want to maximize the utilization rate and value of a piece of material, cutting is a relatively important step. Some people may be able to cut out tens of thousands from a few hundred pieces of material, while others may be able to cut out millions from tens of millions. This is the skill. Just like jade carvers, only by constant experimentation, summarization and learning can one carve out the work that satisfies him most.
