Do Jade Ornaments Have Collection Value?

In recent years, in the jade auction market, in addition to jade rings often being sold at sky-high prices, the prices of jade ornaments have also amazed jade lovers. But in the ordinary jade market, the value of jade ornaments ranks behind all jade jewelry. The first grade is jade egg-shaped, the second grade is jade bracelets, the third grade is jade necklaces, the fourth grade is jade pendants of various styles, and the fifth grade is jade ornaments.

Why is there such a big difference in the price of jade ornaments in the auction market and the ordinary market? Do jade ornaments have collection value?

In the ordinary market, the price of jade ornaments is relatively low, because the materials generally used to make jade ornaments not only have poor water quality, but also have messy colors, and even have defects such as dirt and cracks on the surface. Therefore, even if the jade ornaments are large in size, few people are willing to pay for them. Therefore, not only is the output of jade ornaments small, but there are also few jade carvers willing to spend a lot of time on it, so the carving workmanship is mostly unsatisfactory.

However, the jade ornaments that appear in the auction market not only have good quality, water content and color, but have also been carefully designed by jade carvers and carved according to the color and shape of the jade. This makes the color and texture of the jade ornaments and the material itself natural. Although some ornaments have poor quality, water content and color, they are uniquely designed, have clear layers, and are rich in stories, so they are priceless.

To sum up, the price of jade ornaments generally does not depend on the quality of its color, but on the craftsmanship of its carving. A piece of jade raw material of the same size and quality can be processed into an ornament. The price paid by an ordinary craftsman may be between several thousand and tens of thousands of yuan. However, if it is designed and skillfully carved by a well-known jade sculptor, the price may be hundreds of thousands of yuan. If the quality and color are also excellent, millions of yuan will hardly be a problem.

Therefore, it is not that all jade ornaments have no collection and investment value, but that jade ornaments without characteristics have no collection value. Jade ornaments with characteristics are expensive and have huge room for appreciation. The above is an introduction to the prices of jade ornaments.
