After reading the four major requirements for jade materials, I finally understand why jade jewelry is so expensive

Jade carving has a long history in my country. As a professional skill, it naturally requires a lot of attention to detail.

Take the materials used for jadeite for example, the material selection is quite particular, and learning to use the materials skillfully and flexibly is an essential skill for every jade carver.

So, how do we use jade materials correctly in jade carving?

High-quality ingredients

The so-called fine material and careful use means that the best jade materials need to be used more delicately and carefully.

For example, a piece of jade with beautiful shape, color and high quality is itself a natural work of art with great appreciation and collection value. Jade carvers can make slight carvings on it or no carvings at all. They only need to add a base underneath, and the whole product will be very elegant and have a unique flavor.

Before carving high-quality jade materials, jade carvers need to make rigorous plans, initiate creative inspiration, and come up with unique designs before they can begin carving carefully to avoid causing irreparable losses.

Innovation and creativity are the eternal themes of using high-quality raw materials.

Jade carvers have also progressed with the times, constantly innovating their aesthetics.

Utilization of scrap materials

There are very few jades that are extremely beautiful, and the quality of most jadeite is average. Naturally formed things will have more or less cracks and flaws.

Based on the shape, skin color and texture of the jade material, reasonable design is made to release the brilliance from the inside out, making the carved works well-arranged and showing the infinite charm of jade. This is a great test of the sculptor's skills.

Oftentimes, a piece of material of average texture will become much more beautiful and its value will double after being carved by skilled craftsmen.

Small ingredients with big uses

Jade materials with very high integrity are extremely rare. Therefore, it is very important to know how to use small ingredients to maximize their effect.

Jade carvers who are ingenious, cleverly conceived and experienced are very valuable. They can apply their skills based on the materials and can maximize the creative elements to create a full and rich space for variation in jade both emotionally and visually.

Small materials can be used in big ways, which also applies to “turning waste into treasure”. Take jade for example, many bracelet cores with excellent water quality can be made into exquisite jade bracelet beads.

In this way, the small materials can maximize their effectiveness, continue to glow and heat up the entire piece of jade, continue their use value, and create new wealth for jade merchants.

Clever use of color

Many jade materials have skin color and are rich and colorful. Its skin color is both the difficulty and the highlight of jade carving, and needs to be used skillfully.

If used improperly, it will backfire.

If used properly, it can serve as the finishing touch, creating masterpieces that are extremely artistic and imaginative, which will amaze people and stimulate their imagination.

The skillful use of colors requires the jade carver to have rich imagination and experience as well as unique creative inspiration and conception techniques.

The works carved by such people are amazing.

In summary, a simple jade product carries a lot of hard work.

Everyone should take good care of the jade in their hands. Every piece of jade is hard to come by, so we should not discard or knock it at will.
