After a piece of jade rough material is cut, how to make reasonable use of this piece of jade is a matter of jade carving. Yang Jing really doesn't understand this at all.
Just like this piece of material, Yang Jingguang knew that this piece of material could not be made into a bracelet, but he didn't know anything else.
"Uncle Jianmin, I want to keep this piece of jade. After all, this is my first piece of old pit glass jade, which is very memorable. Besides, I don't need that little money now. If I want to use this piece of jade myself, what should I make?"
Yang Jing asked the right question to Xu Jianmin, as Xu Jianmin was quite knowledgeable in this area.
He often encounters such things when making seals for others. When a seal stone is unraveled, what shape and size it is made into are all related to jade carving. Xu Jianmin does this kind of thing frequently, and he has also been crazy about gambling on stones, so he can tell at a glance what to do with this freshly baked old pit glass jadeite.
Xu Jianmin took the jadeite from his uncle, looked at it carefully and said, "That depends on what you want."
After a pause, Xu Jianmin continued, "It's obviously impossible to make bracelets with this material, but it can be made into a few ring faces and one or two small pendants. But if I were you, I wouldn't make pendants, I would use all of it to make ring faces. Your material is too good, there are no cracks, and there is very little cotton. If such good material is not used to make ring faces, it would be a waste."
Xu Jianmin's words were not random. Although after a piece of jade is cut, the jade carver usually considers the selection of materials for the ring face at the last minute, it also depends on the type of material.
Just like Yang Jing's old pit glass seedling green jadeite, this piece of material is born to be made into a ring face. Everyone knows that the material for a ring face is usually the most essential part of a piece of jadeite, but Yang Jing's material is the essence of the whole body. Any part of it can be used as the material for a high-end ring face, and the ring faces made from it are definitely worth millions.
Hearing what Xu Jianmin said, Yang Jing said, "Uncle Jianmin, you understand this, how about I leave this material to you? You can do whatever you think is appropriate."
Hearing this, Xu Jianmin laughed again, but after laughing he shook his head and said, "Yang Jing, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I don't have the skills to do this job. This is old pit glass material, and it's quite green. I estimate that this piece of material is at least tens of millions, and I don't have the skills to take on this porcelain job for you."
"Uncle Jianmin, please give me some advice."
Xu Jianmin nodded and said, "If this piece of material is used to make a ring face, it first depends on how big you want the ring face to be. Currently, most ring faces on the market are round or oval, about 1.2 cm in size and 0.8 cm in thickness. However, there is a characteristic of ring faces, that is, the larger the ring face, the higher the value. For example, if you use this piece of material to make the kind of ring face commonly seen on the market, a ring face will definitely be worth more than 1.5 million, but if you make a ring face that is a circle larger, the price will at least double!"
"With a piece of material like yours, if you make a common type of ring face on the market, you can get about nine, but if you make a larger ring face, you can only make six at most. If you want to make a mixture, you can get about four large ring faces and five small ring faces."
Yang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be most appropriate to mix them together?"
Xu Jianmin smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course. After all, the size of your piece of material is right here, about the size of a stupid egg. The two ends can be used to make two round ring faces with a diameter of about two centimeters. The remaining middle part can at least make two large ring faces with a diameter of about 1.8 centimeters. The remaining material can also be used to make five small ring faces with a diameter of about 1.2 centimeters. Of course, this is just my experience. If you give it to a skilled jade carving master, he might have a better plan."
Hearing this, Yang Jing stuck out his tongue and said, "Uncle Jianmin, don't you know that a round ring face with a diameter of 1.2 cm is considered a large ring face on the market? The ring faces with diameters of 2 cm and 1.8 cm that you mentioned can both be classified as collector-level ring faces."
Xu Jianmin smiled and shook his head and said, "I am just looking at this piece of material, and I just want to make a few ring faces that can be put into the museum..."
Yang Jing spread his hands and said, "Uncle Jianmin, I want to use this material to make ring faces, and I plan to give them to my family members. My grandma must have one, right? My mom, my eldest aunt, my second aunt, and my aunt must have one, right? My cousin and my sister Yingying must have one, right? And Li Yinuo, even though she is only nine years old now, she already knows how to love beauty. Her two older sisters already have one, so she can’t be left out, right?"
Xu Jianmin grinned, "Damn, seven of them are gone at once!"
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "That's not enough. What about my uncle? What about my eldest and second uncles? What about my father? Men can also wear ring faces made of this material."
Xu Jianmin almost cried when he heard this. "Hey man, if you divide it this way, the diameter of the ring face you make will be one centimeter at most, and the value of the ring face will drop drastically. Let me tell you, if you make ten ring faces with a diameter of one centimeter, it will be far less valuable than making five ring faces with a diameter of 1.6 centimeters."
