The main points of jade carving collection first look at the material.

What is the best hetian jade material? Hetian jade is divided into seed jade, mountain material and landscape material. The color is mainly white, including pure white, moonlight white, grayish white and bluish white; There are cyan, blue, sugar, black and yellow. With pure white as the top grade, jet and topaz are also rare. In particular, white jade is like refined sheep fat after processing, so it is called? Sheep fat jade? , is a boutique in Hetian jade. All kinds of jade articles are pleasing to the eye, moist to the touch, crystal clear under the light, uniform in texture and the highest in value. It is also the most popular category among investors and collectors, and it can be called the best of Hetian jade. How to judge a good jade? 1。 The color should be positive, and there can be no images of gray, cyan, yellow and green. The standard colors of white jade are fat white, milk white and litchi white; The standard colors of green and white are pink, mung bean and melon skin. 2。 The quality should be moist, warm and delicate. It looks like fat and oil, and it is as delicate and smooth as baby's skin when caressed. 3。 Overall purity, white and flawless is the reputation of Hetian jade, and overall purity, flawless, stone-free and crack-free is the top grade. Yoga does not hide its flaws, and its products are consistent, which is the virtue of Hetian jade.

Second, look at the workmanship.

A good piece of jade deserves a good job. They all say that jade comes out in troubled times. In today's era of stable social development and continuous improvement of people's living standards, jade investment is just the right time. Among them, Hetian jade, the first of the five famous jade in China, is favored by collectors and becomes a bright spot in the investment market. Does the master think it is a collection? New hetian jade ware? Or? Laotian jade ware? The collection value of the works should be judged according to whether the materials are superior, whether the workmanship is fine and whether the connotation involved is elegant and artistic. What if it is a collection? Ancient Hetian jade wares? Two points need to be added: 1, jade is of good quality and well preserved, and 2, it is of high humanistic and historical value. In other words, when choosing the collection of Hetian jade ware, whether the jade raw materials are superior and whether the workmanship is fine is the most important thing in the jade collection. The appreciation of jadeite depends on its material and workmanship, so I hope people will carefully weigh it when collecting and buying Hetian jade, and strive to buy the most value-for-money Hetian jade with the least money. In addition to determining the quality of Hetian jade ware, the level of design and production is also the key. First of all, if you don't know what to collect or buy, ask others who really know how to do it. Secondly, if you have the financial resources to buy the works of famous artists as much as possible, this famous artist is not necessarily ancient, and modern works appreciate faster. If the works of Hetian Yu, a famous modern artist, are ingenious in conception, novel in subject matter and unique in aesthetic perspective, the appreciation space will increase.

Third, look at the famous jade carvings.

? Jade can't be cut into tools? This sentence, a well-known sentence, jade is precious, but only when it is done well can it show its true value. At present, some Hetian jade collectors blindly pursue the quality of raw materials when purchasing collections, ignoring the advantages and disadvantages of sculptors and the cultural connotation of design style. This is the biggest taboo of jade collection. To collect contemporary Hetian jade collections, we must first distinguish between what is a commodity and what is a work. There is an essential difference between the two.

Commodities are mass consumer goods that can be repeatedly produced. Without artistic soul, it can only be the expression of craftsman's skill at best. A good work of Hetian jade embodies the producer's cultural knowledge, artistic accomplishment and carving skills, so that people can enjoy it in taste, appreciation and play, especially the masterpieces and award-winning masterpieces of jade carving masters, each of which is a stroke of genius and has high artistic value. As time goes on, they will become more and more precious. The most important thing is that the master must do it himself, from the design of the work to the carving. Such works are really good works with investment value, because the master can't produce several works a year, which is very scarce. Moreover, the master's design is often very unique, not only with superb carving skills, but also with profound cultural and artistic connotations and exquisite carving skills. It is spiritual and vital, and the combination of art and jade has reached its peak. Jade culture is profound, and there are many traps in jade collection, especially Hetian jade collection. You must be cautious when buying Hetian jade, read more books and study more, so as not to cause economic losses.

Fourth, look at the artistry of the work.

What is the artistry of jade works? How to express the artistic beauty of jade with a carving knife? In today's society, collectors pay more attention to the artistry, ideology and culture of jade, and pay attention to the expression of artists' creative personality. Jade carving art really moves from the beauty of appearance to the beauty of depth. Hotan itself is beautiful. Jade is white, waxy, moist and unparalleled in beauty, and has been endowed with mysterious color by history. A good work must first strive for perfection in materials, and the design pattern based on materials should reflect the beauty of this jade, endow it with more ideas, culture and super-high aesthetic feeling, and have more impact on visual effects. What is beauty? Only what permeates the heart and lungs and touches the human soul is the real beauty. A real jade carving master must be able to portray the soul of jade with a carving knife, and that is the real jade carving master with artistic level.
