The more valuable the jade is, the less "craftsmanship" it has

"Gong" refers to the carving work of jade. The carving work of jade is divided into different categories and has various techniques. Carved jewelry should more or less emphasize the value of the carving. However, some works have basically no carving but are very valuable. They are jade that is mainly valued by the raw materials.

Plain bracelets: A good bracelet is itself a representation of value. To make a jade bracelet, the material must be large enough, without cracks, and have a clean texture. This also explains why jade bracelets are so expensive. Similar to a smaller version of the bracelet, there is also a ring, which also requires the raw materials to be free of cracks and small defects. A good ring is very valuable.

Ring face/Egg-shaped type: Jade egg-shaped jade ranks first in jade value. In terms of materials, jade egg-shaped faces have higher requirements than bracelets: no cracks, positive color, and good water head. Regardless of the water head, color, and texture, they are all the most essential part of jade. A huge piece of raw stone often only produces a small ring face in the end, and the rest becomes waste. A small jade egg-shaped face seems simple to take out, but it is actually very rare. It looks small, but the price can reach six figures or more!

Beads: Many people think that beads are made from scraps, and this practice is only limited to low-end beads. In fact, a good bead string requires large materials, and the material used to make the beads must be uniform in color and water quality. Therefore, it is normal for a string of good beads to cost at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions.

Peace locket/peace pendant: Many people think that the peace locket is low-end, but in fact it is because the materials are poor. In fact, a truly good peace locket is much more expensive than a pendant of the same size.
