Who says jadeite collection is priceless? That means you are looking in the wrong direction!

The speed at which jade prices have increased in recent years has been astonishing, but some people also complain that the jade market is now in chaos. Although it appears prosperous on the surface, in fact, there is almost no demand for jade. Even though the jadeite in your hands may seem expensive, in reality it is sold nowhere.

Is this really the case?

Just last year, Huayi International (Beijing)'s first quarter auction caused a sensation in the industry with a full green jade pendant that sold for 56.35 million yuan . A pendant the size of a palm could be sold for more than 50 million yuan. Can it still be said that jade is priced but not sold?

In fact, in the past decade, the price of high-end jade has increased four or five hundred times, mid-range jade has increased dozens of times, and even low-end jade has increased several times. The price increase is far greater than that of gold and diamonds. In addition, jade is also attractive to specific consumer groups such as collectors and high-end people.

As the saying goes, things are valuable because they are rare. Whether it is gold or diamonds, their output is much higher than that of jade. Taking Hetian jade as an example, the total storage volume does not exceed 10,000 tons. In addition, due to the disadvantages of terrain and the difficulty of mining, the quality varies, so the output is extremely low.

Since jade is more scarce and expensive than diamonds and gold, why do some people say that jade collection is priceless?

The biggest reason is probably that collectors overvalue their jadeite . Therefore, you must first understand the true value of the jade in your hands. As the saying goes, "a one-point difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price." This requires professional knowledge, such as what grade the color is, what the market price of jade of similar grade is, and so on.

It is important to note that you should not believe the propaganda of online auction companies. How is it possible that a random piece of glutinous jade can cost millions? Jadeite that is truly worth tens of millions does exist, but it is indeed rare.

How to take action? Two directions

Direction 1: High-end jadeite

For the same jade, the high-quality ones are increasing in price every year, while the low-end ones remain the same price almost every year. Therefore, if you want to collect jade, it is best to choose high-end jade with bright colors, transparent texture, and good shape and workmanship. Most of the market prices of this kind of jade now start at hundreds of thousands of yuan or even hundreds of millions, which also keeps ordinary collectors out.

Direction 2: Special small boutiques

This type of jade material is not necessarily the best, the key is that the craftsmanship must be exquisite and distinctive, and the raw materials and craftsmanship must be well combined! This kind of jade is also very popular among people, so the price is naturally not cheap.
