Who says "carvings are not valuable"? If you understand these 3 points, you will definitely get your money's worth!

From the perspective of craftsmanship, jade can be divided into two major categories, plain surfaces and carvings. As the name suggests, plain surfaces are without any patterns, such as bracelets, eggs-shaped surfaces, and bead necklaces, while carvings are various carved pendants. Out of the principle of cherishing materials, plain surfaces are preferred when processing high-end jade materials. As a result, under normal circumstances, the value of plain jade is higher than that of carvings.

But it would be wrong to say that carvings are not valuable. In fact, according to the sales situation in the jade market, carvings are often the ones with the highest sales volume.

Compared to bracelets and egg-shaped items that cost tens of thousands of yuan, carvings are the most easily available styles for ordinary consumers, and there are many varieties of carvings, which can better meet the needs of female consumers for good looks and good matching.

However, due to the wide variety of carvings and the various craftsmanship schools, there is no absolute standard for judging carvings. There are a thousand values ​​for a thousand people. So how can you buy a carving that is truly worth the money?

As the first step in selecting carvings, "cleverness" is divided into clever thinking and clever color.

The reason why carvings are called carvings is that they have various carved patterns, and whether these patterns are cleverly conceived and have unique meanings determines their popularity in the market.

The clever use of color is to integrate the color that already exists on the surface of the jade into the entire pattern through ingenious carving, turning flaws into highlights and making the entire carving lively.

With the advancement of craftsmanship, new techniques of expressing colors have been added on the basis of the original clever colors, making the carvings more lifelike. The beauty of colorful carvings lies in the touch of color, which is not integrated into the pattern as an accessory, but serves as the protagonist, playing the role of finishing touch.

The jadeite that has been carved with beautiful colors not only has the beautiful meaning of the patterns, but also has the flexibility and brightness brought by the colors. This is the power of beautiful colors.

The step that can bring the value of a sculpture to its peak is color separation.

Color separation is the most difficult part in the carving process. It requires distinguishing different colors on the basis of color carving, making them natural, coherent and not procrastinated.

Jade is naturally formed, so it is impossible to have clear boundaries between colors. Therefore, this requires the sculptor to have extremely comprehensive knowledge and sophisticated techniques, as well as to be bold and careful, otherwise all will be damaged.

As we all know, jade has a very rich color. Based on the number of colors, it can be divided into monochrome jade and multi-color jade. Multi-color jade includes two-color, three-color, four-color and five-color. Among them, five-color jade includes red, green, purple, yellow and white, which respectively represent the four meanings of blessing, wealth, longevity, joy and wealth.

The more colors there are on the same piece of jade, the rarer it is. Jade carvings with exquisite colors and reasonable patterns are even rarer. A multi-colored jade pendant that is not large in size and has unclear tones generally costs tens of thousands of yuan. If the color were purer and the water quality better, its price would be at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.

When choosing multi-colored jade carvings, you can use the selection steps of "one clever, two pretty, three points". In this way, whether it is pattern creativity or color carving, you will achieve a relatively satisfactory result. If you can choose a carving with exquisite patterns, prominent colors and harmonious matching, it will be even more pleasantly surprised~~

Therefore, as the most popular jade style, whether the carving is good or not, and whether it is valuable or not, depends on whether you can choose well. If you choose well, it will not only be worth the money, but it may also appreciate in value~~
