Which is better, plain jade or carved jade?

Are jade carvings better with carved patterns or with plain jade? There are many styles of jade carvings, but they can be roughly divided into plain jade and carved jade. Carved jade is jade with various patterns carved on it, both simple and complex.

Therefore, the price of carved jadeite is determined by the quality of the jadeite on the one hand and the skills of the carving master on the other.

As long as the sculptors' carving skills are good enough and they can turn decay into something magical, the price of the created works will be greatly increased. Plain jade, as the name suggests, is undecorated, pure, uncarved jade with no designs or designs on its surface. In fact, plain jade can better reflect the natural beauty of jade itself.
