It was not until Ray invented his own “Yin and Yang”, or dark and bright, carving method did the public realize that jade can also be finely sculpted as luxury pieces of jewelry. Ray, the founder of MASTER MA and jade jewelry sculptor, started his art design and sculpturing of most famous jade - Hetian Jade since 2004. Jade is loosely understood in China as the collective name for most precious stones and has long been considered as objects of pure decoration. Though jade carving constitutes an important part of Chinese arts and crafts, not many thought as Ray did to turn it into a piece of jewelry. To many, wearing carved jade with a string hang up either on their necks or wrists is for good meanings. But for Ray, jade is more than that. Unlike traditional jade craftsman’s old school style just featuring everyday objects as the way they naturally are, Ray gives jade the new meaning –making each piece of jade a unique and exquisite artwork that can be easily worn according to its luster and material. Ray makes his own unique jewelry design favors by combining western jewelry such as colored diamonds with Chinese jewelry like jade and porcelain. He also adds Chinese traditional elements into western jewelry design ideas, turning Chinese ink painting, jade carving and other means of expression, and the Chinese taste into western jewelry designs.
