How to invest in jadeite? Keep in mind the four-word principle

When it comes to jadeite, many people think that jadeite is a green jade. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Chemically pure jadeite is white, but green jadeite is the most valuable of all colors. In addition to the difference in color, the texture of jade is also very important, which is called water head, type or base in the jargon. To put it simply, it is transparency. The glass type and ice type that we often hear refer to the transparency of jadeite. There is a saying in the jade industry: "Laymen look at the color, experts look at the quality." If the texture is not good, no matter how bright the color of the jade is, it will make people feel dull and lifeless. How to invest in jadeite? Keep in mind the four-word principle:

1. "Truth" means to distinguish between the true and the false. Everyone knows that the collectibles market is often full of good and bad products. If you accidentally buy fakes, you will not only lose the opportunity to make a profit, but you may even lose your money. Therefore, it is best for the jade you purchase to be authenticated and inspected by a national authoritative organization. At present, many places have nationally authorized authentication agencies that provide authentication services.

2. "Fine" - that is, to choose the best products. Investing in high-quality jadeite may bring greater profits. However, for small and medium-sized individual investors, they may not be able to compete for some top-level auction items. However, at the same or similar price range, one should try to choose jadeite of the best quality. This will test the investor's vision and require the investor to do more homework and continuously improve their identification ability.

3. "Complete" - means without flaws or damages. For the same piece of jade, there may be a huge price difference between the ones with flaws and those without. Even through repair methods such as inlaying gold and silver, the flaws may still outweigh the merits, resulting in a significant discount in the selling price.

4. “Rare” - As the saying goes, “scarcity makes things valuable”. When you discover a rare species, you must collect it first.

As mentioned above, the most valuable color of jade is green, but when a piece of jade has yellow, green, purple and white colors at the same time, it symbolizes blessing, wealth, longevity and prosperity, and it becomes a priceless rare treasure.

In addition to the principles of "authentic, fine, complete and rare", investing in jade must also insist on long-term investment and have a long-term investment plan, because this type of investment often does not have an immediate return and requires time to settle.
