Why are all the jadeite we like so expensive? This is the truth!

Jade is really expensive.

Once jadeite of extremely ordinary quality is put on the shelves of brand stores, the price tag is tens of thousands of yuan. Some jade lovers have reported that they often see very unpresentable bracelets and necklaces at some jade counters, but they are blatantly priced at high prices, and the number of zeros behind them suddenly increases from three to five, not to mention mid- to high-end jadeite with good quality, water color, etc., which will have to be priced with strings of zeros. Therefore, whenever ordinary people see expensive jade, they are reluctant to buy it.

Regarding expensiveness, many jade lovers have a misunderstanding that more money means more expensiveness. But in fact, we should understand it from three aspects:

1. Is jade expensive now?

2. Why is this jade more expensive?

3. Is this price beyond the normal range?

After we understand these three points, let’s talk about whether it is expensive or not.

Is jade expensive?

question

The answer is expensive.

The price of jadeite is rising year by year. It is undeniable that good jadeite is indeed more expensive, regardless of its color or water quality.

At every jade public auction, colleagues are busy trying to win the bid for the raw stone of their choice. Good material is always in short supply. Due to this scarcity, it becomes more and more expensive. Some colored jades are bound to be expensive.

For example: Bracelets are expensive. Many jade lovers are complaining about why the price difference between bracelets and pendants is so big. Then why is jade so expensive?

Let’s take a look at the numerous auctions held every year. The most eye-catching are the sales of jadeite items. A necklace sells for more than 40 million yuan, a ring sells for more than 5 million yuan, and a bracelet sells for more than 80 million yuan... Wow, what beautiful jade, so expensive!

Auction item: Jadeite worth tens of millions

No one can deny the value of jade. When a piece of raw material is placed in front of a jade carver, the first thing he has to consider is how to cut it into as many bracelets as possible. Then, he can make the bracelet core or other remaining materials into pendants. It can be said that most of the good materials are made into bracelets, which is one of the reasons why bracelets are the most expensive.

Moreover, when experts in the industry buy raw materials, they estimate the price of the raw materials by estimating the maximum number of bracelets that can be produced. Therefore, bracelets are also a weather vane that influences the jade market. When the price of the raw materials increases, the bracelets will be the first to increase in price.

Jade is a natural non-renewable resource and is rare in itself, but there are even rarer things among the rare ones. At every auction, ordinary things pile up like mountains. Good stuff, one in a hundred. There are even fewer good materials with both good quality, water and color. Therefore, some colored things are rare. After all, there are many rare species that you may only have the chance to see once in a lifetime.

The rise of jade culture and the development of any kind of jewelry and jade are inseparable from a country's cultural background. China is a country with a history of jade culture. There is an ancient saying that "a gentleman compares his virtue to jade." Today, wearing jade is a manifestation of elegance. Jade culture has evolved into jadeite culture, becoming the highest level of jade development. Wearing jadeite and collecting jadeite is also a unique manifestation of Chinese culture around the world.
