Only when jade is flawless can it be “plain”

Only when jade is flawless can it be “plain”

The "plain" here refers to jade jewelry without any patterns carved on the surface. Only jade that is close to perfect, without flaws or cracks, can be made into a finished "plain" product, so "plain" jade has extremely high requirements for the quality of the material itself.

The Book of Rites says: The large jade is not carved, but its quality is beautiful. This means that only jade with flaws or cracks will be used to make intricate carvings, hence the saying in the industry that “no cracks can cover the flowers”, and cracks refer to small cracks on jade.

So for jade, the more complex the carving is, the more valuable it is not, but the one that can perfectly present the unique beauty of the jade itself is more valuable!

Of course, apart from those common machine-carved and print-like jade carvings, which have limited value. If the carving is exquisite and the color and water quality of the jade are used reasonably, the value of the jade can also be enhanced, but it requires good quality and superior craftsmanship. So we can't generalize.
