Playing jade, everyone often hears the word "single seed". There may be many players who don't understand much. Why do you have to separate the seed and what is better? Why do some players prefer a single seed? In this article, we will talk about the “single seed†in the seed.
Single seed and cut material
Single seed, we literally understand, a single piece of seed. That is to say, in the process of engraving, this material is only on the basis of the original seed material, and the small amount of unnecessary parts are removed by removing the dirty parts, and the large original cut and decomposition are not removed, and the natural raw skin and appearance of the seed material are retained.
The unique seed's work retains its unique natural appearance, and the characteristics of the seed material are obvious, and it has a round, smooth and oily texture.
Compared to the single seed, it is cut. Some of the seeds are relatively large, or the shape is not suitable for carving, and it is likely to be cut into several slices and carved into finished products.
This cut material is of course also a seed material, but the cut seed does not retain the complete pores and skin color of the single seed, and only the part of the hairpin or skin color is left as a seed material (there is also a lot of leather). But not pleasing). After carving into jade, it is usually easy to distinguish from the single seed.
The beauty of the seed
For the single seed, first of all, it retains the natural shape of the seed material, which is round and natural. This natural shape is more suitable for wearing and more beautiful. A small, single-seed work is beautiful from any angle.
The single seed carving proves its original ecological beauty on the one hand, and proves the relative perfection of this seed on the other hand.
We know that for the seed material, the single seed that can keep the original engraving shows that it has no big problem. If there are many problems, it will not form the "single seed" style. And for good seed, the jade carving master is not willing to cut it to destroy its original appearance, so the jade or skin color of many single seed carvings are perfect.
Secondly, from the perspective of engraving, the engraving of individual seeds must be engraved according to the shape of the seed material. This is more difficult than making some brands. The jade carving masters must first make a unique design according to the natural shape and skin color distribution of the seed material. After the engraving process, the ratio, depth, and grasp of the three-dimensional feeling have high requirements. With the random carving, not every jade carving master can control.
Maintaining a unique shape, it has more natural beauty, and it also reflects the jade carving and creativity of jade carvings.
Modified "single seed"
In today's market, the price of the single seed is relatively higher than that of the cut material, so there are many cases where the cut material is used to pretend to be a single seed.
Cut the material to pretend to be a single seed is generally done some repair treatment, will cut out a relatively blunt place, after the modification to make it smooth, and then pretending to be a single seed. (However, some of the modifications in the sculpture are normal for the work.)
It is not difficult to distinguish whether it is a single seed. If it is a single seed, it will have a skin color on each side, and if it is a cut material, there will be a partial or a whole surface without a skin color feature, so look at the skin color and The pores are the key.
In addition, from the shape, we can also judge one or two. The easiest way to distinguish trimmed seeds is by observing whether the lines above the seeds are smooth and natural. The seed material is made by nature, and each side has a very comfortable and smooth feeling on each line. This feeling is imitation.
Favorited seed
For the single seed, there are some different opinions in the market today, and some players believe that the single seed is more expensive than the non-single seed. Because this kind of single seed, which has been processed by a small amount of carving and retains the natural raw skin characteristics of the seed material, is more valuable.
However, some players disapprove of this statement. As long as it is a seed material, as long as the quality is the same, is it because the block is too large and then cut into several pieces, is it reduced in quality?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with these two statements, but no matter how to comment, for some old players, their preference for the single seed can not be changed. In their view, the charm of the seed is derived from the beauty of its complete and unique nature, and the engravings that are shaped by the beauty of nature. This unique and original beauty is irreplaceable.
The unique seed carving not only retains the beauty of the original ecology of the seed jade, but also incorporates the humanistic connotation, so the concept of the single seed is slowly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Today, the cultural connotation of craft creation is becoming more and more abundant, and the single-seed works have almost become a category of the most cultural temperament in jade carvings. At the same time, the scarcity of the seed material makes the single seed more precious.
The natural and complete piece of seed, together with the elaborate carvings of the jade carvings, is the only seed that the players love. As we said at the beginning, although it can't be perfect, it can be unique...
