Which is better, plain jade or carved jade?

Are jade carvings better with carved patterns or with plain jade? There are many styles of jade carvings, but they can be roughly divided into plain jade and carved jade. Carved jade is jade with various patterns carved on it, both simple and complex.

Carvings are usually made on jadeite with some flaws. Those good quality jadeite with some flaws are transformed into carved jadeite with rich patterns through careful design and carving by the sculptors. They look very delicate and beautiful, and therefore are loved by consumers. Therefore, the price of carved jadeite is determined by the quality of the jadeite on the one hand and the skills of the carving master on the other.

As long as the sculptors' carving skills are good enough and they can turn decay into something magical, the price of the created works will be greatly increased. Plain jade, as the name suggests, is undecorated, pure, uncarved jade with no designs or designs on its surface. In fact, plain jade can better reflect the natural beauty of jade itself.

At this point, do you think that plain jade is not as expensive as carved jade because it does not have carving costs? In fact, it is quite the opposite. Plain jade is more expensive than carved jade. This is mainly because plain jade has relatively higher requirements on the quality of the jade itself. The jade itself cannot have even the slightest flaw. The jade materials selected for production are often top-quality. Do you understand now?

Whether jade carvings are better with plain or with carved patterns is not an absolute question. It depends on the material and the craftsmanship. Each has its own characteristics. Just choose according to your preference. Check whether the jade in your hand is carved or plain?
