Those who understand stone cutting know that when cutting jadeite, they generally wouldn't make the first cut through the middle of the rough stone.
Because the possibility of finding jadeite in the middle part of the rough is highest, if one were to cut through the center, the jadeite could be severed, and if the jadeite is large enough or not exactly in the center, that might be okay.
But if the jadeite is too small, such a cut could result in a piece that might have yielded a bangle turning into waste, ultimately only being turned into a few facets or beads, leading to a substantial loss.
