As the old saying goes, "If jade is not carved, it cannot become a useful object." The value of jade can only be reflected after being processed and polished by craftsmen, otherwise it is just a piece of stone. The value of jade often depends on two factors: the quality of the jade itself and the craftsmanship of the craftsman. The processing of jade depends on the material, and there is no completely fixed template. This provides the possibility for jade carving masters to display their artistic conception and superb craftsmanship. The artistic conception of the jade carving masters will be attached to it, giving it a certain cultural connotation and exquisite appearance, as well as a lasting artistic life, and ultimately will generate certain economic benefits in the process of the transaction. 1. Appraisal of Jadeite Materials The texture, color and structural perfection of natural jade have many grades. When purchasing jade ornaments, operators should have a preliminary design idea about what kind of jade ornaments the material is suitable for, so as to weigh the profit margin of operating this material and make a decision whether to purchase this material. For the purchased jade materials, since most of them still have a certain "gambling nature", they must go through the material inspection process of "feeling the bottom - exploring the color - asking about the network" to confirm the texture grade, color distribution characteristics and the size and density of cracks of the jade material. Only then can a formal design structure be carried out on the jade material. 2. Utilization of Jadeite Jade materials also have different grades. Jade materials can be divided into good and bad. Generally speaking, high-grade jade materials are more worth investing in time and money, and are suitable for fine carving. They also have higher requirements for design concepts, and the final product is both valuable and expensive. On the contrary, if a piece of jade has certain flaws, it may only be suitable to be used as an ordinary jade stone. The value of the jade itself will not be too high, and the cost required to invest will be relatively low. In addition, for subject areas or character faces, you should consider using jadeite with a relatively better texture grade. 3. Color application of jadeite The color of jadeite is one of the manifestations of its intrinsic value. Skillfully utilizing the color of jade means fully tapping the intrinsic value of jade. There is a saying in the jade ornament industry that "a piece of beauty is worth a thousand gold pieces" and "a piece of beauty can be passed down for generations", which shows that the two are intrinsically related. Based on the natural distribution characteristics of the color of jadeite, the key content of the design concept of jadeite ornaments is to adopt corresponding carving techniques that are suitable for expressing the colors with different distribution characteristics. The distribution forms and utilization methods of colors in jade ornaments are often layered distribution of colors, symmetrical distribution of colors, band-shaped and clustered distribution of colors, mixed or star-shaped distribution of colors, local distribution of colors on the surface, and block-shaped distribution of colors. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
