Items which contain rubies or jadeite originating … 顯示更多

Unlike diamond and other gemstones, jadeite has a very delicate and varying composition. Its complex aggregate structure renders it susceptible to impurities and cracks, as well as variations even within the same stone. Two jadeite materials from the same stone can vary drastically in colour, texture, translucency and purity, making it extremely difficult to produce matching jewellery sets. Even more difficult is carving a full-coloured decorative piece from one whole stone. The tone has to be kept consistent throughout and void of all cracks and impurities. Due to the complexity and the level of risk involved, jade merchants and artisans tend to divide a full-coloured jadeite into numerous cabochons or pendants for sale to increase profits and cost effectiveness. Recurring themes found in jadeite carvings include flora, animals, famous figures, religion and landscape. The Bodhisattva Guanyin and Buddha Maitreya (Mile) being the most common religious figures, especially the Buddha Maitreya, who with his broad, hearty smile and friendly appearance, is particularly popular. It requires the mastery of an artisan to be able to carve a Buddha figure on a large piece of fine jadeite material. Adding to that, the figure has to vividly represent the Buddha's everlasting charm in its budai form, emanating contentment and happiness with its big belly and broad smile.
