How to Evaluate Jade Carving Craftsmanship

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 carving is delicate, the large surface is smooth, the small areas are neat, and the overlapping digging, hooking, rolling and bumping must meet certain depth requirements. The surface of jadeite should be bright, moist and flat, with uniform size, no distortion in shape, even waxing and no green powder on the surface.
