Teach you how to distinguish between hand-carved and machine-carved jadeite!

Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. Good jade material is just a lifeless ore if it is not given craftsmanship. It is the carver who gives jade a soul, allowing jade to play various roles vividly. “Three parts material, seven parts work” is the best interpretation of it by people in the industry. Many times, the quality of the carving determines the value of the jade itself.

If the quality of jade itself determines 60% of the price of jade, then among other factors, carving accounts for at least 30%, and may even determine the success or failure of a piece of jade. A very ordinary piece of jade can appreciate dozens of times in value after clever color matching and creative carving.

Modern hand carving uses high-speed motors to drive various high-speed rotating diamond drill bits to cut jade materials. We call the craft of manually shaping hand-carving. This is also an important reference indicator for distinguishing ancient jade from modern jade based on processing traces. After all, few people are willing to use old techniques to carve jade, as the efficiency is too low.

In order to save expensive carving costs and produce exquisite jade pieces that people like, ultrasonic machine mold carving technology has been adopted. This has greatly improved the carving efficiency while ensuring the pattern effect.

The machine drives the mold to vibrate and rub back and forth on the surface of the jade material at an ultrasonic frequency, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly breaking the jade and carving, thereby greatly reducing the cost of jade carving.

What is the difference between machine engraving and hand engraving?

1. Computer worker: The edges are uniform, very flat, and have no inward concave arcs.

2. Handmade: The edge has an inward concave arc.

3. Comparison between computer work and manual work:

1. There are relatively few tools for computer engraving, generally speaking there are only two or three types, while there are many tools for manual engraving.

2. After use, tools will leave marks on the jade. The edges will have concave arcs with different depths. Every cut made by computer engraving is very even.

3. Hand-carved works are warm, cleverly conceived and beautiful in artistic conception. Computer carvings are all the same, mainly simple shapes.

How to distinguish between machine work and manual shaping?

Computer workers usually do relief carving, which is relatively shallow and very troublesome to reshape. It involves labor costs, and usually the overall cost of repair is very high. In this case, it is better to buy a good brand and do pure hand-carving. Isn’t this more meaningful and valuable!

Moreover, computer workers have templates. If a good jade template is popular, other computer carving masters will not give up the opportunity to sell it in large quantities, and corresponding merchants will not fail to imitate it.
