As the saying goes: If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object! Then why do people say “good jade does not need to be carved”?

Nowadays, jade resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and high-quality jade is becoming increasingly difficult to find, so jade has great potential for appreciation. This has also led to the formation of two different levels of jade carving collection: "good jade does not need to be carved" (plain jadeite) and "jade cannot be made into a useful object without being polished" (carved jadeite)!

As the saying goes: "If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object."

But why do people say “good jade should not be carved”?

Isn't this contradictory?

No.

If you don't carve jade, it won't become a useful thing.

No matter how good the jade is, it needs to be carefully designed, carved and polished before it is worth buying and collecting. Therefore, the saying "If jade is not carved, it will not become a useful object" has been widely circulated from ancient times to the present. Only through meticulous carving by skilled craftsmen can jade carry the soul of art and culture. In other words, the true value of jadeite can only be reflected after adding artistic added value to the original value of jade.

Good jade is not carved

In the jade industry, there is also a saying that "good jade does not need to be carved", which means that good jade will not be easily carved before a good master is found . In other words, the carving design of a good piece of jade must be worthy of the jade, otherwise it would be a waste of a beautiful jade from nature.

For **“good jade does not need to be carved” the premise is that the material itself must be “good”**, an Imperial Green Plain plaque was sold for HK$46.49 million. Jade does not need to be carved to show its natural beauty. This plain jade pendant is a rare and magnificent piece of jade, with beautiful water quality and rich and full jade.

Although the material of the jade itself is the primary consideration, the quality of the carving and its cultural connotations cannot be ignored. Of course, whether jade is carved or not varies from person to person. The most important thing is to cherish every piece of jade in your hands.
