Jadeite Chat – When investing in and collecting jadeite, should you “rather buy perfect than buy defective”?

The principle of investing in and collecting jade is "there is no expert in jade, and joy is the price." When buying jadeite with investment and collection value, one must have complete knowledge and a sharp vision, and should "rather buy perfect than buy defective." What experts focus on is "quality" rather than "quantity". They have a long-term vision and are not limited to the current jade market. Don't just buy something because of the price. There are very few jades on the market that can be called fine quality. When it comes to quality products, we naturally talk about the word "fine". The "fine" mentioned here includes the following three aspects. So, what kind of jade is a fine collectible? The editor will chat with you today. The following are all useful information. Remember to collect and follow~

1. Careful selection of raw materials: A good cook cannot cook without rice. To create a fine product, you must have a piece of fine material. This is the decisive foundation. Jade carving is not like making a movie, where you can make up any content you want. If jade carving wants to pursue artistic beauty, it is necessary to understand the correct meaning of "the essence of mountains and rivers, the exquisiteness of humanities". That is, the color of the carved jade material should be beautiful, the texture should be smooth, good raw materials should be selected, and the carving themes should be designed to be suitable for various jade materials.

2. Exquisite carving: 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 consider are: selecting materials according to their size, removing impurities and knots, and applying techniques according to 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 evaluation criteria for polishing technology are: the surface of jadeite should be bright, moist and flat, the size of the jadeite should be uniform, the shape should not be distorted, the waxing should be uniform, and there should be no green powder on the surface.

3. Creativity: Someone once criticized the jade carvings on the market: they are all either Guanyin or Tathagata, and it’s all the same. In fact, this is a relationship between demand and supply. The demand (for Buddha and Guanyin) is great, so naturally there are more products supplied. Of course, the jade carving market is far from being limited to Guanyin and Tathagata. How to create an admirable work in the dazzling jade carving market, break away from the mainstream and blaze a new trail. The key is creativity. With the ultimate pursuit of design, craftsmanship and art as the criterion, in order to perfectly present a work, they are willing to spend extraordinarily long time and extraordinary efforts, and often even challenge the limits of the talents of designers and craftsmen. This is the ingenuity of the jade carving master. Only with this ingenuity can the works he creates stand the test of time and be passed down. Creativity is the soul of jade carving. On the premise of mastering the carving characteristics of various raw materials, on the basis of accumulating a large amount of actual creations, and after carefully savoring the style and charm of the jade carvings of predecessors and masters, one can be confident before putting pen to paper, and create beautiful paintings by mastering the characteristics of raw materials, water, and color.

If a piece of jade is made of "natural beauty", its carving is "grand and meticulous", and its creativity is amazing and captivating at first sight! Then, it is undoubtedly a masterpiece.
