The jadeite sheet with floating flowers, after many revisions of the design theme, finally saw the finished product and smiled secretly

Many people who like jade have this question: Why do Buddhist themes occupy half of jade works?

This is mainly because many Chinese people believe in Buddhism. From the perspective of jade merchants, works with Buddhist themes are easier to circulate in the market and turn into cash; from the perspective of jade players, by making Buddhist-themed pendants, one can pray to the gods for peace and express good wishes!

Today I’d like to share with you the carving process of a jade Buddhist-themed work!

This is an oval-shaped jadeite with floating green flowers. The jade is old and moist, flawless, and covered with green flowers. The quality of the jade itself is very good. Although the floating patterns are scattered around, I still want to use it to buy a Buddha statue for safety.

Although the creation was difficult, the jade carver observed diligently and analyzed the jade material carefully, and finally found the part where the Buddha's face was opened, and thus designed the pendant into a Buddha pendant.

When making the embryo, the jade carver took into consideration a problem. Although it was reasonable to make the floating flowers into a dragon in terms of carving method, it did not make sense in terms of the meaning. Among the jade carving themes, there is only dragon Guanyin, but no dragon Buddha. So I thought about changing the work midway to avoid the pendants coming out looking "out of place".

Although the work was modified midway, the posture and position of the Buddha were not changed. Only the flying dragon on the upper part of the pendant was changed to a lotus leaf, which did not destroy the overall balance of the pendant. What is unexpected is that after changing the intricately carved dragon to a lotus leaf, the overall pendant looks more watery and the main body of the Buddha is more prominent.

In terms of polishing, the jade carver chooses semi-matte polishing. On the premise that most of the pendant is polished to bright finish, the Buddha statue is given a semi-matte treatment, which can further highlight the image of the Buddha statue and make it easier for people to focus their attention on the Buddha statue!

The polishing effect is very good. The finished product is not only moist and shiny, but also has delicate and vivid carvings!
