Jade carving art - why every wealthy family has jade ornaments

Jade ornaments are a large category of jade accessories and are mainly used for interior decoration. Due to the diverse carving themes, including the sun, moon, landscapes, figures, animals, plants, myths and legends, they have high decorative, ornamental and collection value.

At present, the main types of jade ornaments include figures, landscapes, flowers, birds, animals and other themes with auspicious meanings, and the overall design and carving level has been greatly improved in recent years, which not only increases the value and "gold content" of the works, but also makes the works more valuable for appreciation and collection. Moreover, nowadays, more and more people are aware of the scarcity of jade raw materials and the diversity of jade carving techniques. Good jade ornaments are becoming more and more recognized by the market and their prices are getting higher and higher.

Perhaps careful jade lovers have discovered that the materials used for jade ornaments are generally not very good. That is because some high-end jade materials, such as ice or even glass jade, are generally made into more refined jade ornaments such as bracelets, egg-shaped jades or small pendants. If it is made into a large ornament, it would undoubtedly be a waste of good materials. Moreover, it would be priceless and difficult to sell.

This means that the focus of purchasing jade ornaments is different from that of general jade accessories. The selection of jade jewelry mainly depends on the jade quality, purity, transparency, jade color, etc. It can be said to be a relatively static appreciation of jade, that is, focusing on evaluating the texture of the jade itself, which is a more intuitive feeling.

However, when buying jade ornaments, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. The quality of jadeite

There is no doubt that the quality of jade materials directly affects the value of jade ornaments.

The quality of jade materials is directly related to the aesthetic effect and economic value of jade ornaments. The artistic charm of jade ornaments comes from the appeal of the "beauty of jade".

2. Concept design

An exquisite jade ornament may not be made of the best jade material, but after careful design by the jade carver, it can become a masterpiece of art that is ingeniously crafted. The design of the work must be novel and unique, and full of fantastic ideas, which will make the viewer aftertaste endlessly.

3. Plastic Arts

The shape of jade ornaments should be beautiful, natural, vivid, realistic and well-proportioned. The overall composition is well-organized, with a strong sense of layering and a prominent theme.

The quality of plastic arts directly affects the artistic quality and collection value of jade ornaments.

4. Cutting process

Roundness and softness are the craftsmanship requirements for jade ornaments. Therefore, during the carving process, the lines of the work are required to be round, curved, and smooth, so as to achieve a craftsmanship effect that is both soft and smooth.

5. Bright effect

Whether the surface of jade ornaments is fine and smooth directly affects the gloss of the surface of jade ornaments, and the surface gloss has a great influence on the value of jade ornaments. This is also an issue that viewers and collectors are very concerned about. Therefore, special attention should be paid when purchasing.

6. Exquisite decoration

Jade ornaments are usually displayed on wooden stands. The size ratio between the wooden stand and the jade ornaments should be appropriate, the patterns should be coordinated, and the patterns should be delicate, neat, and clean. The nest is tight and stable, and the bonding is firm. The wooden base is spray-painted brightly, the wood is precious, and there is no paint accumulation, paint flow or pitting. For the wooden base with gold and silver wires pressed by pliers, it is also necessary to observe the effect of the wire pressing process and whether it is flat and firm.

As we often see on TV dramas, many wealthy families have jade ornaments of various shapes displayed in their homes. It can be seen that jade ornaments are a symbol of a wealthy family.
