As the saying goes, "If jade is not carved, it will not be made into a useful object." The ultimate value of jade is largely reflected in the level of carving craftsmanship. If the quality of jade itself determines 30% of the price of jade, then carving accounts for at least 70% of the other factors, and even ultimately determines the success or failure of a piece of jade: a crude carving will certainly not even be able to recover the price of the jade material, so in many cases, the price of carving has exceeded the value of the jade itself: the material cost of a jade brand may be only 600 yuan, while the cost of fine carving on this brand may be 2,000 yuan! A very ordinary piece of jade can even appreciate dozens of times in value after clever color matching and creative carving! Jade Carver Designs Jade Picture (I) Hand-carving of jadeite uses high-speed motors to drive various high-speed rotating diamond drill heads to cut the jade material, but how to cut it and what shape it will be depends entirely on the sculptor's skills, just like no matter what brush you use, the final picture is determined by the painter's own cultivation and skills. Therefore, we still call the craft that relies on manual shaping hand-carving. It's just that the traditional jade grinding wheel has been changed into today's diamond drill grinding head, and the fine sand on the riverside has been replaced with harder silicon carbide abrasive, making cutting faster and more efficient. However, hand carving is still time-consuming and laborious. More importantly, not everyone can carve a beautiful jade piece with a diamond drill, just like not everyone can paint a beautiful picture with a paintbrush. If you pay attention, you will see that a large number of jade pieces are poorly processed and can only become street goods. This is also an important reason for the serious waste of jade resources. Jade Carver Designs Jade Picture (Part 2) Hand-carved pieces are hollowed out at any time according to the needs of the shape, which can express the shape characteristics more accurately, making the carvings more vivid and delicate, and each with its own characteristics, becoming a one-of-a-kind treasure. Carving a few simple flowers and patterns on a flat sign will cost several hundred yuan, while the price of a finely carved sign is often over a thousand yuan. As for fine works of high relief, their value is even higher. A famous carving master even charges 50,000 yuan for material and 50,000 yuan for carving. A jade plaque is equivalent to a car! fcgc66 fcpf18 |
