What kind of jadeite can maintain its value when investing?

Chinese traditional jade culture is the driving force behind the development of jadeite. Jadeite was introduced into China thousands of years ago and has been endowed with the spiritual connotation of traditional Chinese jade culture. It contains unique Chinese cultural implications, inherits people's good wishes, and hides a kind of accumulated national emotions and aesthetic orientation. It is revered as the "King of Jade".

There is a saying in the jargon: "Crazy people buy, crazy people sell, and crazy people are waiting." This saying is absolutely correct. The implication is that the market for jadeite is unlimited and there will always be a higher price for the next sale than this one.

Jade is a unique individual in the jewelry world. Unlike diamonds, it does not have a price list, and unlike other gems, it does not have a large reserve. It is a precious jewel that cannot be found exactly the same in appearance. Because it is extremely rare and exudes a restrained and steady beauty, there is an old saying: "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless." Its worth cannot be determined by price, but is compared by value.

Currently, there are only five countries in the world that produce jadeite, and the jadeite raw stone produced in Myanmar is accepted by the Chinese people. Myanmar jadeite is referred to as Myanmar jadeite. Most of them are produced in the upper reaches of the Wulong River in the northwest of Mong Kung in northern Myanmar. The mining area is about 250 kilometers long, 15 kilometers wide, and covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 square kilometers. The jade produced from different mines has its own characteristics. Among them, the Phakant mine is a historical mine, the earliest mined and the most famous. The editor has listed a world jade production map and a jade mine area map for everyone to have a preliminary understanding of. If you are interested in this, you can also pay more attention to the community raw stone section

Let’s get back to the topic. First of all, since we want to invest in jade, we must understand the jade market.

Jade is a short-term non-renewable resource. Since the last century, Myanmar's jade mining areas have started large-scale mining of jade ore. At present, many mining belts have been almost hollowed out. Here we need to correct a misunderstanding. Jadeite raw stones are mined just like ordinary stones. They need to go through many processes to become the finished jadeite products we see on the market. Friends who are interested can go to the jadeite raw stone section of the community to learn. Not all raw stones can produce high water quality and high color. As the saying goes, a one-point difference in color means a ten-fold difference in price. Therefore, the resources of high-quality jadeite raw stones and jadeite finished products in the world are more limited. If you prefer B+C goods that cost a few dozen yuan each, you can quit this community. Since jade is a short-term non-renewable resource, we can rule out the artificial creation of natural jade. Currently, no one in the world has the ability to artificially create natural jade. Note that we are talking about creating natural jade, not using a beer bottle to make an "Ice Green" bracelet, which cannot even get a national inspection certificate.

When investing in jadeite, we must understand the market's consumption of jadeite. Jadeite can be simply classified into color and water quality, but the price range is very large. This year, a pigeon egg with an estimated value of one million was sold for HK$9,485,000 at Christie's auction in Hong Kong. However, top-level jadeite collections are only for niche collectors after all, and more people will not consume such top-level jadeite. Therefore, we should collect products that are more in line with the public's tastes. Currently, the best-selling jadeite in the jade market is jadeite bracelets, so the products we choose to invest in must be among the products with the highest sales, which will also make it convenient for us to cash out as soon as possible in the future.

Why choose products that are popular with the general public? If you collect a product that no one likes, even if the jade market soars, your collection will eventually fall into disuse. Regarding jade bracelets and what kind we should collect, here we have to talk about consumer psychology. If I give you a bean-shaped bracelet for free, will you wear it every day and attend various occasions? The answer is no. Clothes make the man. Women, the largest consumer group of jade bracelets, would never wear a bracelet that costs only a few dozen dollars. So what kind of water bracelets do they like?

At this time we have to use big data. This is a demand map. The closer to the center [jade bracelet], the higher the demand. We exclude the price that everyone cares about and the difference between jade and jade. After using this data that is not related to our time, we find that what everyone cares about most is ice jade and glass jade. Don't ask me why. As I just said, you certainly won't wear a bean-type jade out, so our collection must be mainly glutinous ice and ice jade bracelets. Let's talk about a problem. If you are asked to choose between a white ice bracelet and an ice floating flower bracelet, I believe you will choose the latter. After all, a white ice bracelet doesn't look very good.

Summary: If you want to choose jadeite as your collection or investment product, try to choose bracelets with glutinous ice flowers or ice flowers as an investment. In fact, you should also choose according to your own situation.

Personal advice: For investment, we generally adopt the 80/20 rule. If you have 1 million idle funds, you can only invest 200,000 at most in high-risk projects such as jade. For the other 800,000, we can choose bank funds, bank fixed deposits and other products with guaranteed principal and fixed income.
