What else is needed after jadeite is polished?

As jade becomes increasingly popular in the high-end market, the jade processing process is increasingly being exposed to the public. Is jade a finished product after being ground and polished? Actually, after grinding and polishing, in order to make the jade more beautiful, your jade needs to go through these...

1. Sour plums and ash water

After grinding and polishing, there will be many flaws on the surface of jade. At this time, we need to use acid pickling to remove the residual dirt on the surface of the jade. We call this process "acid pickling".

Note: The acid pickling here is different from the acid pickling of B-grade jadeite. "Over-sour plum" refers to A-grade jadeite that has been ground and polished. There will be residual dirt on the surface. Placing it in a prepared acid solution for pickling will not cause damage to the jadeite. After the jade has been "passed through the sour plum treatment", the stains on its surface must also be rinsed clean. The water used to rinse the jade appears gray, and we call this process "passing through gray water".

2. Stew wax and spray wax

Wax stewing is an essential process in jade processing. This process is to make the jade look smoother and more moisturized. Generally, small jade ornaments are stewed in wax, while for large ornaments, the jade is slightly heated, white Sichuan wax powder is sprayed on it, and then wiped with a cloth. All jade surfaces have wax. This does not harm jade. It not only makes jade more beautiful, but also prevents dirt from penetrating into jade.

3. Remove wax

Seeing this, I believe many jade lovers will start to wonder: After all the effort to stew and spray wax on the jade, why do we need to clean the wax? This is because the wax on the surface of the jade will not be completely smooth and flat after stewing wax and spraying wax. At this time, we need to clean up the excess wax to ensure the beauty of the jade!

4. Finished Jade Products

After the above processes, a bright and beautiful jade product will appear in front of you.
