Does cut jade have no value? No, carving can bring it back to life!

Half a month ago, a jade friend bought this piece of jadeite, which was 18 kilograms of frog skin jadeite from the field. The characteristics of this field are:

First, the skin is relatively thin, and you can see the water and color under the light, which is very tempting to people. However, this kind of wax skin is generally from a new field and often has symbiosis (water foam).

Second, the skin color is mixed, generally gray-green and gray-black, with varying degrees of transparency. Generally, green water is better.

Third, there are too many cracks. Generally, materials have many fine cracks and nothing can be made from them. This is the most critical issue.

After being cut, it looks quite good from a distance, with colorful flowers and it is not killed by light, but it is over if you look at it up close! There are too many cracks.

Let's look at a few pieces of material. Although they have too many cracks to be made into bracelets or pendants, they can probably be made into three ornaments.

We found a great master from Jieyang and waited quietly for 30 days. This was because the material had good water content and fine texture. Although it had many cracks, after the master's careful design and highlighting, it could become a work of art.

Now let’s take a look at the work again. The name of the work is “Xiangshan Juxian”. The carving is very lifelike and full of artistic conception!

As soon as it came out, a friend offered to buy it for 100,000 yuan, but the owner disagreed and decided to put it in the office for appreciation.

In my country's traditional carving skills, there is a technique called "Qiao Se", which is to cleverly manage two or more natural colors on a piece of material, and use different shapes to express a theme together. This technique can even "turn waste into treasure", and some can create another color during the carving process. This requires ingenuity, taking advantage of the situation, and carving in accordance with the trend, so that it can play the role of adding the finishing touch.

This kind of pretty color has a natural and integrated look. To handle the relationship between multiple colors to express a theme, it is impossible if the craftsman does not have rich experience, profound artistic skills and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. One can imagine how precious such a masterpiece is.

Art is the highest realm pursued by every piece of jade, and it is also the most difficult to achieve. Anything that is lively and has both form and spirit is an expression of artistic beauty and reflects its rich collection value.

On the contrary, works with poor craftsmanship, inferior techniques, blind imitations, and violations of artistic beauty will have much less appreciation value. Therefore, when collecting jade, in addition to paying attention to the material of jade, we should also pay attention to the craftsmanship level of jade and the artistry of jade. The reason is simple. The better the material of the jade, the rarer its reserves in nature, the more difficult it is to process and the higher its value.

Jade jewelry is both a material product and a spiritual product. Since ancient times, it has been endowed with the meaning of vitality, health, wealth and longevity. Many people like to give jade as gifts to express good wishes, and these meanings are mainly expressed through carvings. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the carving of jade.
