The epitome of jade art - ornaments

Jade finished products are mainly divided into two categories, one is jewelry and the other is ornaments . In terms of size alone, this ornament is definitely the king of jade. As a display item, it can only be admired from a distance and not "played with".

Jade ornaments come in various shapes, including figures, ruyi, flowers, leaves, hanging screens and auspicious beasts. They not only have rich and auspicious meanings, but also demonstrate the exquisite carving craftsmanship of the Chinese nation.

Compared with jewelry, jade ornaments do not have high requirements on materials, most of which are glutinous or bean-type, giving jade carvers room to show their skills with confidence. This means that the value of the ornaments is more reflected in the carving, and the craftsmanship requirements are very high.

Large jade ornaments have always been time-consuming, labor-intensive and time-consuming . Learning carving for five or ten years may not seem to make much of a difference when making pendants, but it is completely different when making ornaments. It requires carving skills that require countless times of practice to be successful, such as overall control and familiarity with the subject matter, in order to present the most perfect feeling on the same ornament. This is a great test of the jade carver 's skill level .

The selection of jade ornaments is also very different from that of jewelry. Jade jewelry is mainly judged by its water quality, purity, and color , while jade ornaments are judged by the overall effect of material selection, conception, design, processing, etc. This is also the reason why many jade carving competitions feature mostly ornaments.
