As a popular jewelry designer, Chen Shiying is "different". He practices in seclusion all the year round and only goes out once a year or so. He devoted himself to the basic research of jewelry design, understood the technological process and the properties of various materials, and practiced in thought, culture and philosophy.
It was his study and hard training that made 1987 the world-famous Wallace cutting technique. This technology combines the characteristics of relief, intaglio carving, internal carving and gem, and can carve multiple refractive surfaces in the gem in a three-dimensional way, so that the product presents a mysterious visual effect.
In order to satisfy himself, he knows more about chemistry than chemists and more about metals than mineralogists. In his view, learning is self-improvement. He once said: "The size of jewelry is endless. Since we can't pursue the best and the greatest, we should pursue the spiritual level and show the connotation of jewelry. This is the responsibility of a designer.
He used green tourmaline to set off pink jewels and yellow diamonds, 400-year-old rosewood to match bright diamonds, and modern titanium alloy to set jadeite ... Chen Shiying's creation is full of incredible mashups, but it shows amazing beauty that has never been heard before.
Later, a necklace set with 383.4 carats of diamonds and jadeite was born, which was praised as probably the most expensive necklace in the world. This luxurious work inlaid with 1 155 1 diamond belongs to the well-known jewelry brand Chow Tai Fook and is called "Shi Yu 'an Zufanghua". Its designer is our Chen Shiying!
He is so excellent that we in China are all proud! Of course, Master Chen is a veteran of our carving industry, but there are also many rising stars in our jade carving industry! For example, Jia Long, a famous jade carving teacher who was very popular in the 1990s.
Jia Long, whose real name is Zhang Qinrong, is a young jade carving master, an intermediate arts and crafts artist, an external teacher of Jieyang Vocational and Technical College of Guangdong Province, and the vice president of Guangdong Sculpture Art Research Association. In 2006, he studied traditional arts and crafts and high-end jade design and carving under the guidance of Professor Zhang Bingguang, a senior arts and crafts artist and a master of Guangdong arts and crafts. 20 12 set up a personal jade carving art studio.
His works have a high reputation in the industry and collection. Over the years, his works have won many awards, including China Arts and Crafts "Cultural Creativity Award", China Arts and Crafts "Hundred Flowers Award" and Guangdong Arts and Crafts Exhibition, with seven gold medals and ten silver medals.
Jialong has been trying to inherit the traditional jade carving skills and break the tradition on this basis. We should not only consider the overall design, but also take the materials according to the nature, shape and color of jade raw materials, so as to achieve the purposes of removing locks, using cotton skillfully and avoiding cracks. Modeling should also be beautiful, natural and vivid, with meticulous carving, distinct layers and prominent themes.
Galen said: "I am still young, and I will not give up every minute of learning." I hope everyone can like my work and the beautiful stone jade! " I will try my best to make better jade carvings for friends who like jade! "
This is our new generation of jade carvers. They have one thing in common, that is, they love learning. The more you are willing to learn, the easier it is to grow. Garon is just one of them. They don't give up any learning opportunities, and make jade carving works with personal characteristics through their own understanding of jade carving. I believe that the future jade carving world will be more exciting because of them!
Lao Wang talks about Cui Lao Wang, the founder of Yunnan Ai Cui Jewelry, who has been obsessed with jade all his life.
