Jadeite collection is booming, but investors need to be cautious

As the saying goes, "wearing gold shows wealth, wearing jade ensures safety." Jadeite, as the king of jade, is known as the "Oriental Emerald" and contains the aura of the mysterious oriental culture. It is a treasure worthy of wearing, playing with and collecting. Many people regard wearing jade jewelry as amulets, especially female friends. However, with the rising price of jade in recent years, jade counterfeits have become more and more numerous and the methods used have become more and more sophisticated, and many professionals have been deceived.

Don't be cheap

The color of jade is also the most important criterion for evaluating quality. As the saying goes, "A one-grade difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price" and "A one-cent increase in water means an increase of ten taels of silver."

Usually, what kind of jade is good can be judged from five aspects. First, look at the type, then the water, then the color, then the craftsmanship, and finally the art. There are five aspects: type, water, color, and craftsmanship. What kind of type is good? Type refers to the thickness of the particles. The finer the particles, the better the type. Water refers to the transparency. The more transparent the better. Another aspect is color. The color is the positive color. The more positive the color is, the more watery and green it looks, and the mood is good, just like a pool of water. Some jades look watery, which is the type, water, and color. This color also has a uniformity. This uniformity is thick, positive, and uniform. This is better.

I suggest that when collecting, you should also pay attention to choosing jadeite with strong liquidity. It will only be circulated if everyone likes it and loves it. Quality must be the first priority, and don’t blindly pursue size. Moreover, the current price of jadeite has become more and more transparent, and there is rarely a phenomenon of good quality and low price in the market, so don’t be greedy for cheapness, and don’t easily buy jadeite from peddlers. Try to choose a reputable store. When collecting jadeite, especially high-value jadeite, you must be cautious. It is best to have a professional appraisal agency issue an authoritative appraisal certificate. Never be careless.

Good jade must be a combination of the jade itself, craftsmanship, and historical and cultural value. Compared with other types of collectibles, the collection of jadeite should focus on high-end and top-quality items. In addition to its high identification value, the price of high-end jadeite is also relatively stable and appreciates significantly. Of course, some jadeite that is not of high value will have its own unique charm if it has characteristics and beautiful craftsmanship, and can also become a favorite collector's item. In addition, after collecting jade, you must also pay attention to proper maintenance.

The simplest way to maintain it is to wear it normally. As the saying goes, "People take care of jade, and jade takes care of people." After long-term wearing of jade, the surface gloss will change to a certain extent due to the long-term "polishing" of the human body, so the saying goes, "It is better to wear it than to hide it." If you don't wear it for a long time, you can store the jade alone in a jewelry box, or wrap it in a clean white cotton cloth and put it in a dry place. However, it should be noted that jade will lose water if left idle for a long time. It is best to take it out and soak it in clean water for a day or two to replenish water every few months or at least half a year. This way, the jade can maintain its luster and moisture.
