In recent years, with the hot jade market, the price range is from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the middle and high-grade jadeites with poor carving skills have increased by a hundredfold in 10! However, because the low-grade jadeite is limited by poor quality, it is generally dry and off-color, which is really hard to see! Therefore, it did not rise with the market for a period of time. Moreover, due to people's growing aesthetic awareness of jadeite, the sales of these dry and color-biased jadeites are weak. In order to promote the sales of this grade jadeite, people try their best to improve the value of this grade jadeite. The most important means is jade carving.
With the rising value of high-end jadeite in the market, some jadeite sculptors turn their attention to low-end jadeite. After just a few years of development, with the help of modern machinery, they quickly developed jade carving technology and applied nephrite and antique themes to jade. It has brought artificial artistic value to the low-grade jadeite which is not optimistic, thus pushing up the price of the low-grade jadeite.
Jade carving master's works worth nearly 50,000 yuan (dry sapphire with short water and poor materials)
However, in recent two or three years, in order to get higher income from middle and low grade jadeite, the jade carving industry has begun to make great efforts to make stars! Many sculptors are nicknamed "masters", whose fundamental purpose is to raise the value of middle and low-grade jadeite with the help of the popularity of masters. These ordinary jadeites are carved into various themes by masters, and their value far exceeds the raw materials of jadeite itself by dozens to hundreds of times.
In fact, it only takes three years to train an excellent jade carving master, then two years to explore the carving style, and five years to reach the level of these so-called jade carving masters! In the development of jade carving industry, many jade carving selection institutions and jade carving awards have emerged. Its selection criteria are different, and some even need to pay to get a good title ranking. What's more, I can't carve at all. By buying some award-winning works and putting your name on them, you can gain popularity. Improve the profit rate of jadeite itself by improving its popularity.
A single piece of jade carving master's work is worth 80 thousand yuan (lavender waxy Buddha)
In China's 5,000-year history of civilization, teachers and masters in various fields of art are all capable people who are unique and far-reaching. Today, there are dozens and hundreds of jade carving masters, who can actually use the third-party platform of the Internet to publicize and brag about themselves. The artistic value of jade carving masters has been artificially hyped by commercial actors! The star-making movement is only for profiteering! Pursuing profiteering is the drawback of jade carving industry, and it is also the real purpose of promoting the construction of jade carving industry.
So please Cui friends must see the essence clearly and face the jade in the order of "planting water, color and cleanliness"! You see, the last thing is work! In other words, no matter how magical the carver is, no matter how exquisite the design is, it is not as good as the natural quality of jade.
Cui friends, after reading it, learn a lesson and don't be fooled by the so-called "jade carving master" again!
