Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
Jiang Bin’s studio can be said to be the most heavily guarded place in his house.
Although this house is a bungalow, the north and south windows are equipped with heavy anti-theft windows, the ceiling is also made of cement, and the door is naturally a heavy anti-theft door. In addition, Yang Jing also saw an intelligent security system in the house that is similar to that of his own rental house.
It's no wonder. As a famous jade carving master, Jiang Bin handles things that are mostly valuable. If his most important workshop is not made safer, the jade artifacts he handles would have been stolen countless times.
As Yang Jing followed Jiang Bin into the workshop, his eyes were immediately attracted by the white jade carving placed on the side of the desk.
Yang Jing quickly took a few steps, came to the jade carving, and looked at it carefully.
Just as Jiang Bin said just now, this piece of Hetian white jade carving only has a prototype, but even such a prototype is enough to capture people's hearts.
Such a large piece of collection-grade Hetian white jade is an extremely rare treasure in itself, not to mention that the shape of this piece of Hetian jade is extremely rare and close to a standard rectangular shape, making it perfect for making a large seal.
Now the overall shape of this flying seal has been revealed, especially on the four sides of the seal, the shadowy flying fairies have already taken a general shape. The flying fairy on one side has begun to be carved, and a part has been hollowed out...
"Tsk tsk, what a good thing! Uncle Jiang, your craftsmanship is really amazing. Although it is just a prototype, I can feel its amazing charm! It is hard to imagine how shocking it will be if this Feitian Seal is fully completed!"
Jiang Bin stood aside, smiling and silent, enjoying Yang Jing's compliment very much.
A jade carving, especially a great one, cannot be carved casually. It requires the jade carver to expend a great deal of energy to conceive the structure, shape and carving techniques of the entire work. Only after these things are determined will the jade carver start to work.
But even if you use a knife, carving such a large jade sculpture cannot be completed in a few days. A jade sculpture with complex craftsmanship can take a few weeks at the shortest, or several months or even years to complete.
A piece of jade carving is definitely the product of a jade carver's enormous efforts. Some jade carvers will even be seriously exhausted after completing a piece of fine jade carving that will be passed down from generation to generation, and will need to rest for a long time before they can recover.
Jiang Bin obviously also attached great importance to this Flying Seal. This piece of jade has been delivered to him for more than half a month, and he has only completed a prototype, which is enough to prove Jiang Bin's importance to this Flying Seal.
After seeing the Flying Seal, although Yang Jing missed Gege more, his mood was still much better.
In the outer room, Yang Jing drank the tea brewed by Jiang Bin himself. While praising the delicious tea, he opened the password box he was carrying, and six pieces of icy jadeite of different colors and shapes suddenly appeared.
"Oh my..." Jiang Bin's teeth almost fell out in shock, "Xiao Jing, where did you get these jades?"
"Uncle Jiang, see if there is anything you like. Keep it and make some big ornaments!" Yang Jing said with a smile.
"Are all these jades yours?" Jiang Bin asked in surprise, and then chuckled twice, "I'm just talking nonsense. You even got such a big collection-level Hetian white jade, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to get these pieces of icy jade..."
Jiang Bin picked up the largest jadeite with great interest. This piece of jadeite was personally cut out by Yang Jing's uncle from the 104-kilogram rough material. It was a 16-kilogram high-quality ice-type full-green boxwood jadeite, the best in color and size among the five rough materials that Yang Jing brought back in 1994.
"Wow, what a great stuff! Although it's only high ice type, such a large size is rare nowadays!" Jiang Bin praised with joy on his face while playing with this crystal clear high ice type jade.
After Jiang Bin had played with all six pieces of jade, he said seriously, "Xiao Jing, I can just keep one piece here. I don't have the energy to do it if you keep all of them. Just leave one piece. I can use all my energy to focus on this piece of jade."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, I brought these six pieces of jade for you to choose from. I have no objection if you keep all of them. If you only keep one, I won't say anything else."
"Thank you!" Jiang Bin said sincerely. For a jade carving master like him who was in urgent need of a breakthrough, a piece of good material was more valuable than anything else. Yang Jing first gave him a piece of collection-level Hetian white jade, and now he brought him six pieces of ice jadeite for him to choose from. This was a great thing that Jiang Bin had never experienced before.
"Uncle Jiang, you are so polite! These materials can only be carved by jade carving masters like you to highlight their value. Only masters like you can make the value of these jade materials soar. I brought these jade materials here because I want to increase their value through your hands. Why are you thanking me?"
"Haha, you have a big mouth... Well, I can't argue with you."
After a pause, Jiang Bin said with some feeling: "People divide jade collection into five levels. The first one is the ring face, the second one is the bracelet, and those pendants are ranked before the ornaments. The large ornaments that require the most carving skills are only ranked at the end. Oh... this is really pretending to know!"
