You get what you pay for. It turns out that this is how expensive jadeite is made!

Jadeite is jadeite that has reached gem quality! I believe everyone is clear about this. Due to the high hardness of jade, it is difficult to process it. If a piece of natural jade is processed very well, then the sculptor has put in a lot of effort. Without further ado, today I will tell you how the "sky-high jade" that everyone usually talks about is made.

As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. Since it is a good finished product, the first thing to do is to select the materials! A good beginning will have a good ending. A good piece of jadeite raw stone, after being processed, is like installing "wings" on it, and it can fly into the sky. If it is not well chosen, the carved effect will not be good-looking, and you will be too lazy to carve it, and waste time and materials on it. It is better to spend more time carving good raw materials.

Cutting: Some people rush to cut the jadeite after buying it. If they are too impatient, they may cut off everything that should be cut off. This is very serious. Not only will the carving effect be poor, but the value will also be much lower.

It is important to determine whether the entire stone is suitable for carving or to cut it into pieces based on its distribution.

Usage and design

Making jewelry: Consider what you want to make, the chances of making a bracelet, and some large carving brands.

Making carvings: For example, when making some jade pendants and waist plaques, one needs to consider what style to make, so as to utilize the advantages of the raw materials and meet the requirements of the carving style. Otherwise, it is easier to produce waste products.

The general process of processing

Cut into small pieces of different sizes, change the processing purpose of unusable or non-conforming sheets to make the best use of them. The next step also depends on the size of the material.

Carving: First use some special tools to outline the outline to be carved, add some necessary things, and then carve along this route, which is also to lay a good foundation for the smooth progress of the next step, just like laying the foundation.

Finishing: Use special carving tools to modify and smooth the areas where the previous carving is slightly imperfect, in order to lay a good foundation for the next process and to minimize deviations.

Grinding and polishing

Grinding and polishing are also divided into manual grinding and machine grinding. The difference between the two is that manual grinding is more time-consuming, while machine grinding saves time, but the effect is not as vivid and spiritual as manual grinding.

The last thing is packaging: a beautiful product with good packaging can not only reflect its own value, but also protect the jade. When customers are making their selections, they will definitely choose those with nice packaging and good jade styles. If they grasp these points, the effect should be very good. After going through these processes, the value of jade instantly increases several times. This is what everyone calls sky-high priced jade, which is truly value for money.
