Jade carving is also an art

Generally speaking, perfect jade carving is reflected in the following four aspects:

1. Body color: Each gemstone has its optimal color saturation. Among colorless to light yellow jadeite, the whiter (close to zero saturation), the better.

2. Brightness: The brightness of jadeite refers to the light that enters the crown (top) of the gemstone at any angle, which can pass through the interior of the gemstone, then be emitted through the small facet of the crown of the gemstone and be seen by the observer's eyes.

3. Fire: The white light (sunlight) that enters the gemstone undergoes a series of refractions and reflections, and then is emitted from the gemstone surface in the form of colorful light and received by the observer.

4. Shine: Rotating the gemstone will create a colorless flash of light.

The four major elements of jade carving are mutually restrictive and it is impossible to achieve the best at the same time. The most ideal jade carving style is the one that achieves the best balance of these four elements. Jade has a high refractive index and dispersion rate, so people polish it according to scientifically calculated processing ratios and precise processing techniques to fully display its brightness, fire and shine. This is the secret of jade's dazzling and radiant brilliance.

Jade carvers process jade into different shapes based on the appearance of the jade embryo. Most people who buy jade for the first time will choose the most classic round shape, while others will choose their favorite jade shape according to their own preferences. If you find it difficult to choose, you can also collect several jades of different shapes like jade lovers.
