There were several aspects to consider when collecting agate and jade: ** 1. Material characteristics ** 1. ** No cracks and no cotton **: This is the basic requirement. Cracks or cotton will affect the quality and value of agate. 2. [Water Penetration]: The more watery and transparent the agate is, the more valuable it is for collection. 3. Agate with uniform and rich colors is more precious. ** 2. Design ** 1. [Avoiding extremes: Be it antique or innovative designs, there must be a limit.] Purely pursuing novelty or blindly imitating the ancients was not desirable. From the perspective of artistic innovation, agate with new ideas was worth collecting, but it could not only be valued as new. For antique jade, it also needed to be judged according to the specific situation. The innovation of agate design was the way to bring forth the new. Inheriting tradition was the sublimation of innovation. ** 3. Craftsmanship considerations ** 1. ** Cutting Skill Level **: The agate products with smooth and skillful cutting skills are more beautiful and have a higher collection value. On the other hand, if the cutting skills are slow, delicate, and sloppy, it will affect the collection value. 2. [Carving Difficulty]: When collecting agate ornaments, the craftsmanship of the carving is very important, and the difficulty of the carving is also a factor to consider. ** 4. Styling Elements ** 1. ** Scale Balance **: The shape is determined by the function and the shape of the agate. The proportion must be appropriate.

Pattern characteristics ** 1. ** Exterior decoration **: The decorative patterns are the decorative parts of the agate.

In addition, from the characteristics of agate itself: 1. ** Origin and Reserve **: The only agate with a relatively small reserve. Due to the fact that it is rare, it has a higher possibility of appreciation in the future. 2. ** Molarity **: If agate can be further processed and can be artificially endowed with artistic and cultural value, it will be more valuable for collection. This is because many agates are difficult to be used as raw jade carvings. Only a small portion of agates that cannot be endowed with cultural and artistic value have original decorative or collection value. 3. ** Distinguishing characteristics **: The more distinctive the characteristics of agate, the fewer the stock, which increased the scarcity to a certain extent. However, this scarcity was sometimes subjective. 4. ** Comply with aesthetics **: If the color of agate meets the public's aesthetics, for example, the red color of agate is like the green color of jade and the white color of Hetian jade. It is an important factor that is widely sought after. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

[Carving: This is an indispensable part of agate processing.] According to the designer's needs, various patterns, patterns, and words could be carved on the agate by hand, machine, or laser engraving. 6. ** Polishing **: Polishing the carved agate to make its surface smoother and increase its luster.

You need to choose the correct and reasonable jade raw materials.] Due to the wide variety of jade and its great variation, the type and quality of jade must be judged according to the texture, color, luster, clarity, hardness, lumpiness, shape, and other indicators to determine the production of products, and strive to use the best materials. If necessary, they would also have to go through peeling, dirtying, cutting, and other review processes. Experienced people could choose the materials skillfully to make the product better. 2. * * Design **: Every jade product has changes, so the design work runs through the production. The first was the design of the shape. It had to be done according to the characteristics of the jade material, so that the shape was comfortable, smooth, and popular. It had to combine the characteristics of the raw material with the beauty of the shape, emphasizing the different characteristics of the texture, luster, color, and clarity. At the same time, the design had to consider the characteristics of the jade material to ensure that the process could be made. After the design was considered, the rough drawing and fine drawing were carried out on the jade material. If there were any changes in the production process, the design would be modified at any time. The designer and the producer had to cooperate with each other. 3.
