In the jade industry, there is a saying that "30% material, 70% workmanship". For jade, especially ornaments, pendants, and hand-held pieces, the carving is very important. It not only determines the overall beauty of the jade, but also affects the price. Therefore, the carving technology of jade is very important. There are many traditional carving techniques, including relief, round carving, hollow carving, etc., which we have introduced in previous articles. So how do you judge the quality of a jade carving piece? You only need to look at these three points: "clever", "pretty" and "exquisite".

The “Skill” of Jade

"Qiao" actually refers to the designer's unique conception and clever interpretation. The spiritual conception can present the artistic conception of a jade work to the greatest extent and elevate the entire work to a higher level. This process tests one's control over the jade raw materials. Only by fully understanding the type, water content, color and shape of the raw materials can one design the most suitable style and define the most beautiful meaning. This is the ingenuity of carving.

The beauty of jadeite

"Qiao" refers to the use of color. Jade carvers need to make full use of the color of each part according to the specific color distribution of jadeite, and make the color and style complement each other to highlight the overall unified artistic sense and perfectly show the beauty of jadeite.

The Essence of Jade

"Fine" refers to the exquisite craftsmanship. The best carvings are made up of countless details. The smoothness of lines, the coordination of proportions, and the vividness of expressions all need to be carefully processed to make it more three-dimensional. A good jade carving is composed of a combination of details and is a reflection of exquisite craftsmanship.

A good horse deserves a good saddle, and good material naturally deserves fine carving. Good carving can enhance the artistic conception of a jade piece, increase the value of jade and turn it into a work of art. After reading this article, can jade lovers roughly judge the quality of the carving?
