One hundred kilograms of jadeite raw stone took several years to carve and became a work of art!

This piece of black Wusha covered head material weighing more than 100 kilograms not only has a fracture, but also has very average water quality. After receiving the goods, the jade carver rinsed it and began to peel it. He was surprised to find that there was actually a color band on the stone! As soon as the inspiration came to him, the master immediately drew a design of a Buddha statue.

After the design drawings were drawn, work began on the material. Such a large project cannot be completed in a short time. To be a jade carver, one must be very patient. Let us take a look at the finished product. This work took three years and eleven months to complete and was named "Asking You".

The creation of a work requires the sculptor to carve it thousands of times. When this work appeared at the exhibition, many people and even some judges did not believe that it was carved as a whole. This is enough to illustrate the importance of this work in the jade carving industry.

In the end, this work won the Golden Prize of the Shengong Award and was estimated to be worth tens of millions! You see, jade carving is the process of transforming a piece of jade from a raw stone into a work of art, and it is also one of the important factors that determine the market value of jade finished products.

There are many types of jade carvings, mainly figures, flowers, utensils, birds and animals, etc. The quality identification and value assessment of different types of jade pieces are different. The main factors to consider are:

Jade pieces must be creative, and the overall design should be based on the properties, shape, and color of the jade, with the impurities removed and the art applied to the material being tailored to the piece. Pay attention to "breaking the shape" of some jadeite stones that do not give people a sense of beauty.

The shape should be beautiful, natural and vivid. The overall composition should be reasonably laid out, the structure should be sparse and dense, the layers should be clear, and the theme should be prominent. The carving is delicate, the large surface is smooth, the small areas are neat, and the overlapping excavation and hook rolling must meet certain depth requirements; the surface should be bright, moist, and flat, with uniform size and shape, without distortion, even waxing, and no green powder on the surface.

The essence of creativity is based on the ultimate pursuit of design, craftsmanship and art. In order to perfectly present a work, it is willing to spend extraordinarily long time and extraordinary efforts, and often even challenges the limits of the talents of designers and craftsmen. In this way, the works created can stand the test of time and be passed down forever in the long river of time.

In short, Lao Wang would say: a jade carving is a work of art. Its beauty may lie in its artistic conception, or in its form and color, or both. Jade carving is first and foremost about jade appreciation. Creative conception is key. The shape of the finished jade product must be lifelike and realistic to produce a fine jade carving.
