From high to low, I personally divide jade merchants into five categories. Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and I will only talk about the aspects that I am more familiar with, so it may be biased. Please take it with a grain of salt.
The first category: Creation studios of jade carving masters
Not all those with the title of "master" can enter this rank. I've added two key words here - creation! Just like Yajuan.
Jade carving is essentially an art form, no different from painters painting or composers composing music. Treating jade carving as an art to complete naturally leads one to tread paths unexplored by predecessors. Such studios lead the trends in jade carving, innovating its themes and techniques.
