Is the Jade Water Deep? Just keep these in mind!

Is the jade industry very complicated? Is that what everyone around you says? There are many fake jades, and the prices vary greatly. An expert buys the raw stone and can multiply its value many times with just one cut. If I were to talk about these common stereotypes about jade, it would probably take a long time.

How deep the Hetian jade water is can only be known when you stand up from the pool. People who truly love Hetian jade will say: As long as you are not obsessed and your IQ is fine, you should be able to form your own judgment and standards in 2 years.

In fact, for those who really want to understand jade, if you have the following awareness, you will suddenly see the light. For those who are already in this situation, if there are friends around you who need advice, you might as well talk about these aspects.

Not everywhere is suitable for buying jade

The so-called pit is formed when a place is stepped on by many people. You also have to choose the place when buying jade. The Hetian jade from some places really cannot be bought, while the jade from other places needs to be chosen with caution.

The first place that we do not recommend you to buy jade is tourist attractions. Tourist attractions are places where people go to spend money, and various types of jade are common commodities. However, after visiting various scenic spots, we often discovered new species, and those creative jade terms left many experts confused.

Some of the Hetian jade in tourist attractions are fake, made of quartzite and marble, while others may be made of low-end Korean or Qinghai materials. Not only are the items of poor quality and fake, the prices may also not be cheap. In that kind of atmosphere, there are countless cases of people spending high prices to buy fake jade.

So when you go to a tourist attraction, if you are happy, you can buy some small handicrafts as souvenirs. But if someone is trying to sell jade, please be careful!

The second thing that is not recommended is TV shopping. Don’t think that TV shopping has disappeared. If you find the long-lost remote control at home and turn it on, you will find that TV shopping is still very popular, and jade is one of the major categories.

The familiar routines and various made-up new terms will really make older uncles and aunts who don’t know about it want to place an order. And young people, don’t you think that most of the live broadcasts you watch nowadays are just a disguised form of TV shopping?

Some people may ask, can jade be bought in shopping malls? Yes, but don’t have the illusion that you’ve bought something priceless! For the general public, shopping malls are a relatively formal way to buy jade. However, due to various cost reasons, what needs to be considered is its price.

The mouth of the merchant is deceiving

Don’t buy Hetian jade from some places, and don’t believe in some of the methods used to sell Hetian jade.

There are many ways to deceive people when selling Hetian jade, the most common one is the shopping mall lottery.

Although this kind of thing has been exposed for many years, it still spreads like wildfire. There are still many people who buy jade because of the lottery, and the misunderstanding of the Hetian jade industry because of the lottery is spreading more and more widely. Those who knew laughed, and those who didn’t know accepted it.

In addition, there are many stories of finding bargains. For example, a piece of jade may be sold at a low price due to urgent need for funds. You can make a lot of money after buying it. Or they dye a large stone and say it is worth hundreds of millions, deceiving players.

There is a popular video on Tik Tok about bargaining for jade, with prices dropping from 10 million to 200 RMB. It’s so magical that you want to follow these hosts to hunt for jade. But after paying attention to it for a while, I found that the prices they sell don’t seem to be very cheap.

We often take jokes as reality. In short, don’t listen to stories when buying jade. Let the goods speak for themselves!

What kind of jade should I buy?

Because Hetian jade has a broad audience base, most people basically know about its origin. But I don’t understand the difference, what should I do?

Hetian jade is divided into mountain material and seed material. So many people wonder, how to buy it? In fact, this question is similar to whether to buy an imported car or a domestic car.

If your budget is higher, then seed material is a better choice. If your budget is not that high, but you want better value for money, many mountain materials are very good choices.

It is also important to note that not all seed materials are good, and mountain materials are not as bad as you think. The key is whether you buy real seed material.

By the same token, can't we buy materials other than those from Xinjiang? You are smart and you should know how to answer the question quickly.

However, in most cases, novices still cannot judge the origin of jade at a glance, such as whether it is from Russia, Qinghai or Xinjiang. Listen to what the merchant says, then learn by yourself and make your own rough judgment based on some knowledge.

Finally, remember that when choosing Hetian jade, you should consider both its origin and its quality.

How to judge the price of Hetian jade

The issue of price is actually a question of valuation.

How to evaluate is a very complicated subject, and it requires you to work in the industry for many years before you can master it. For an ordinary buyer, it is difficult to measure accurately.

Therefore, regarding price, finding suitable comparisons and trusted merchants is a more realistic solution.

As for buyers, they also need to have a reasonable understanding of prices. If you say you want to sell a really good mutton-fat grade seed material to me for several thousand dollars, this is impossible. On the other hand, particularly good things will have a good price. Don't believe that you can buy good things at a cheap price.

Big sale at a loss, big price reduction, selling a piece of money worth 100,000 for 1, selling a seed material bracelet with good whiteness and fineness for a few hundred or a few thousand, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.

Sometimes, when buying jade, it is not the merchants who mislead with the price, but the buyers themselves who are confused by the price...

The reason why we hear people say that Hetian jade is too deep is because most people still like Hetian jade and want to own it. Who wouldn’t like it? But the same thing goes, are you willing to take the time to understand what you like?

Every industry has industry barriers, but some are not so obvious, and you just don’t know about the undercurrents. Many times, the audience does not put themselves in the right position. Many people want to examine Hetian jade from an expert's perspective at the beginning, but forget that they are actually just laymen.

There are many kinds of people who play with jade. There are those who don’t know much about Hetian jade but like it; there are also players who love Hetian jade very much and like to study and collect it; there are those who like to appreciate the beauty of the raw stone, some like to play with it, some use it as decoration, and some collect it for investment.

Everyone has different demands for Hetian jade, which determines their different preferences for jade. There is no good or bad jade, only real or fake. The most important thing is that you like it and can feel the comfort or happiness that jade brings to you.
