Who is he? He is the last gatekeeper of every jade polisher. These "beauticians" of jadeite semi-finished products are all behind-the-scenes heroes of jadeite sculptors!
With the prosperity of jade, we gradually saw the hardships of jade sculptors, so we began to pay attention to and worship them, but in fact, the same hardships, jade polishers have never been known!
There is a term in the jade carving world called "Zhuang". No matter how good a piece of jade is, whether it is a plain piece or a carved piece, the height of promotion is not high from semi-finished products to works. The key to what effect and value can be obtained is polishing!
Maybe you think the value of a piece of jade is clear when it is cut. The value of this last process is not very important, is it? ! But have you ever heard of gambling on gross goods?
Wool products refer to the "semi-finished products" of jadeite jade without polishing. Look at the material of these bracelets below, which is almost "one foot behind the door", but it is really not easy to polish. It doesn't cost much to polish, but the owner just doesn't want to do risky business.
At this time, the bet stone is no longer relevant, and it is also based on experience that only old drivers can touch it. It is these old drivers who sell finished products wholesale, buy them with their own eyes, and then find a grinder to make the final finished product and see its final value!
So, see the value of polishing? This level of dimming, turning water and shaping determines the final value and artistic expression of this work. In fact, it is simple and clear: sell more money or sell less money, and the effect of pretending to force determines everything!
Jade polishing can be divided into "hard light" and "glue light". "Hard bright" has high brightness and strong flash; The "glue-on" lamp has low brightness and weak flash. Technically speaking, "glue light" is less than "hard light", which is only used when making antique jade articles.
Why is there such a magical change on the polished jade surface? Some people think that polishing itself has no magic, but polishing agent will reduce the scratches on the stone surface to the extent that it is invisible to the naked eye.
It is such a seemingly simple step that increases the reflection ability of the jade surface to light, thus forming a smooth jade surface.
A good jade carving has delicate lines and clever lines, and every detail and simple explanation is full of the ingenuity of the jade carving master, and all this must be decided by the "behind-the-scenes hero" polisher!
Therefore, while paying attention to the jade carving master, don't forget this jade grinder who works silently!
