The mystery of the price of jade carving, let us help you solve it today

When I went to the jade market to buy jade, I came across a beautiful jade jewelry, but I thought the price was a little expensive. When I wanted to bargain, some merchants would refuse like this: the price you offer is too low, not even enough for the labor cost. This does not only apply to some low-end jadeite. Even for jadeite priced at several thousand, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, there will be merchants who feel that if the price is a little lower, it will not even be enough to cover the labor costs.

Is jade carving really that expensive? Or is this just a sales tactic used by merchants to prevent buyers from cutting prices too low, leaving them with less profit?

In fact, the labor cost of jadeite can be said to be quite high, but it can also be said to be relatively low. Today we will understand the factors that determine the price of jadeite carving?

The identity of a jade carver

Jade carving can generally be divided into master workers and apprentices. Master workers can be divided into general masters and old masters. In addition, there are great masters (provincial and national level). The more famous and the higher the level of the carving master, the higher the carving fee will naturally be.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, the skills and experience of jade carvers are mainly accumulated over time. The carving skills and experience of a novice cannot naturally be compared with those of a master or even a higher-level jade carver, so there will be a price difference.

There is another type of jade carver who not only relies on experience and skills to win, but also on creativity. Such carving is quite innovative and can give the works a unique personality, so the price is naturally higher.

Design

The design plan is also a big influencing factor. The more creative the design plan is, the higher the jade carving cost will be. Being able to sublimate rich life experiences into art and designing themes that are thoughtful and have a sense of contemporary responsibility will undoubtedly greatly enhance the value of jade works, and the carving fee will naturally be higher.

Materials for Jade Carving

If the quality of the jade carving material is poor, for example, there are impurities, if the jade carver can turn decay into magic, the added value of the jade will be increased, and it goes without saying that the carving fee will be higher.

The higher the quality of the carving material, the more expensive the carving fee will be. In addition, the size of the carving material is also a consideration. The larger the material, the more time-consuming and labor-intensive it will be, and the carving work will obviously be more expensive.

Therefore, when choosing jadeite, you should not only consider the quality and water quality of the jadeite, but also the quality of the jadeite carving. If the carving is good, the price of the jadeite will be higher, but it also means that the jadeite has greater value space.
