The confusion of a jade carving master: the original stone expensive artifacts

Xiao Liu had been doing business with Hetian jade stone and jade carving in the antique city for several years. He has always been fluent and he has been more and more frequently troubled by a problem: people who send jade to sculpt are less and less day by day. difference. Sometimes even if it is reluctantly carved out, but even if it is painstakingly done to dig dirty, to avoid cracking and avoiding cotton, even if they all feel that the retail price may not be worth the money, it is no wonder that the people who come to process will be seen sparsely.

In fact, over a period of time, there has been a strange phenomenon in the market, that is, playing jade is often familiar with the "original stone expensive pieces."

As the saying goes, jade is not an instrument, and Tang Taizong's statement is more direct: Although jade is of good quality, it lies in the stone and is not worthy of good work. It is not different from rubble. In other words, even if it is Hetian Meiyu, it must be carved, or it is a hard stone. However, in recent years, the price of Hetian jade materials, especially seed materials, has skyrocketed, and the increase in finished jade articles and jade parts has lagged behind the original stone. As a result, many investors directly use rough stones, especially seed materials, as investment targets. Large ornaments are obviously left out. To put it this way, there are also inherent reasons for this phenomenon: After all, jade carving works have already been formed. Once collectors or investors are not satisfied with one of the topics, carving craftsmanship and even polishing level, they will not be able to spend much time. Silver purchases and possessions. However, the original stone is not the same, and the holder can decide whether to sculpt and not to sculpt, what to sculpt, to find a master, or to find an ordinary master carving according to his preferences or “quasi-buyer’s” attitude. The plasticity is extremely strong. Nature is also more popular.

From another point of view, there are fewer and fewer good materials in the market. The materials in circulation are mainly medium and low-grade goods. Most of the jade materials are cracked, cracked, colored and miscellaneous. The risk of original stone carving is even greater. It's huge. I know a player, not long ago spent 100,000 yuan to buy a piece of raw material about 5 kilograms of raw stone, leather slightly add color, the appearance looks pretty good, whiteness, run, degree of exquisiteness show that it is at least A mid-range material. However, under the cutting machine, it showed its original shape: not only jade flowers are numerous, but they are still stiff and rigid, and there is almost no decent jade piece (actually a string of bracelets and a necklace are eventually produced). The ticket was so overdone. When chatting with the master of the processing plant, the master said with emotion that in the past it was Jade that had bet on gambling, and that more than 90% of the people had bet on losing; now Hetian Yu also bet on stone, and he also opened the Hetian jade ten. There are ** åž® åž® åž® åž® åž®, and less than 10% of the ** cause no gains and losses, but the real cut up, I am afraid that even 5% are not (Inline term: open material has earned "up", lose money, said "åž®" ).

It is no wonder that now, regardless of whether it is seed or mountain, many Hetian jade stones have already been dyed before they circulate in the market. The reasons are nothing but two: one is to use dyeing to conceal the quality of the “congenitally insufficient”; Imitation of seed material by staining, or indeed seed material itself, pretending to pretend to be able to “make it higher” by pretending to be able to impress meepi raw seeds after dyeing. With the scarcity of good material, and the addition of a layer of “disguise” on the outside, of course, buying materials is increasingly gambling, and the possibility of gambling losses naturally increases.

At the same time, although the material is not as good as before, there are more and more people who love Hetian jade, and even ordinary stone is worth more. However, many jade players belong to the “貔貅 type” and cannot enter only, and Hetian Yu gradually flows into the “jade black hole”. The jade materials consumed by the jade carving industry increase year by year as the engraver team grows. ,How to do? In terms of materials, it can only rely on more and more materials that do not flow, and this is also the main reason why Chinese eagle carvings flood the market; while for non-famous jade carving artists, there are three ways to go. : One is to defect to the master and mix in the master's studio to eat delicious food. However, this is not what ordinary jade carving masters can do. It must have solid foundations; the second is to leave the jade carving industry and change to the original stone business or other business; the third is like Xiao Liu. When you did not live, you would go to Nanyang, Jieyang, and other jade processing and distribution centers to sell some of the finished products and sell them, earning a price difference in the area, and sometimes still making full use of one of their major advantages. Some of the jade carvings are not satisfactory. The family did not dare to start, Xiao Liu was able to take home a small repair at a low price, the effect is often very different, not to say, the most important thing is that the price can be greatly improved, it is also based on their craft to enhance the value of jade. , also save their own pieces can be carved when "hand itch", can be described as the best of both worlds.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. Xiao Liu is worried that although the finished product is not as “crazy” as the original stone, the price rise is undoubtedly an inevitable trend. Moreover, jade items are different from other commodities, and when they enter a batch of goods, it is common to sell some of the backlog. The capital occupation is more serious. On the other hand, sales are becoming increasingly deserted as prices increase. Where should the ordinary sculptors like Xiao Liu go? At least for now, no one has given a clear answer to this question.
