Introduction:
Because the salt source five-colored jade itself belongs to multi-color, its colorful color is its characteristics, the color is excessively uniform and natural, like such a pink and blue dragon work, suitable for hand play and suitable for wearing, at first glance it feels like a rainbow, and it feels comfortable.
For such a smooth and feminine color, tough and delicate texture, warm and subtle rough, we generally choose to carve into jewelry pendants. The meaning of the companionship and protection of the dragon reminds us of the theme of the dragon to carve it, so that it can wrap around the neck and accompany the side. It can be seen from the finished carvings that the shape of the dragon is curved, the spine is raised, the form is plump, the look is majestic, and it is vivid. The work combines the beauty of jade with the essence of craftsmanship, and the shape is simple and elegant, and the momentum is magnificent.
<b>Dragons play against each other</b>
Come to life and come to life? The colorful colors of the multicolored jade of Yanyuan give the work more aura, rather than the dullness of monochrome, the excess between any color is extremely natural, and the hollow design reflects the good design and carving process to give life to the work.
From the perspective of carving, it can be said to be unique. The middle part is hollowed out, and friends who know the point line should know that such a process is the most expensive material, and it is also a very test of the engraving process. The top of the carving adopts a delicate hollow carving, the exquisite carving is in the form of an antique dragon, and a part is left in the middle as a dragon ball, which reflects the beautiful meaning of the two dragon play beads, and the four dragons are plated in one work, like a living creature.
Dragon play balls
There are no two identical leaves, no two identical salt-source multicolored jade carvings, even if they are cut out of the same material. Our pursuit of craftsmanship for good works makes us have to abandon the practice of making good materials lightweight.
The dragon represents change, and the bead represents the unchanging truth.
Unchanging truths can evolve into endless forms by things that change.
In a way it can be understood as
1, do not be fooled by appearances;
2, as long as you grasp the unchanging truth, you can use it freely, like a dragon and a snake.
