Is jade an investment or a collection? Understand this issue before buying jadeite, you will not suffer any loss

Chinese people's love for jade has been growing. Jade used to be a fine product that only a few people could own. With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, most people can buy jade, and even regard it as an investment or collection.

But what many people don’t understand is whether buying high-quality jade is a collection or an investment. They think that collecting rare jade varieties is an investment, or that those with high prices are collections.

In my opinion, investment is intended to gain profits, to gain higher profits between buying and selling, while the true meaning of collection lies in rarity and refinement. In the process of collection, jade may appreciate in value, but appreciation is not the ultimate goal of collectors, "owning" is.

In fact, whether it is investment or collection, it is ultimately a question of "value" or "not value". "Value for money" or "great value for money" is the purpose of collection and investment.

Therefore, whether it is to regard jade as an investment product or a collection, there are some things that deserve our attention in the process. Let's take a look at them together:

1. Whether it is for investment or collection, you must choose high-quality jadeite with excellent quality, color and workmanship. Jadeite with high perfection has stable appearance and structure and can stand the test of time. At any time, it is a top-grade jadeite with higher value.

2. When you come across a fine jadeite that catches your eye and you like it no matter how you look at it, don’t leave any regrets and act quickly. Jadeites are rarely the same. Even if the shapes are the same, the texture, color and even floating flowers of the jadeite may be different. Buying jadeite requires liking it by eye. If you come across your favorite jadeite at the right time, you naturally cannot miss it. Investment also requires seizing opportunities in time.

3. When collecting jadeite, you should choose rare ones. Jadeite collection requires being picky about the targets, and pays attention to the rarity, preciousness and uniqueness. The rarer and denser the jade is, the more valuable it is and the more ornamental it is. Moreover, jade itself is a scarce resource, and those of high quality, water content and color are even rarer, making it a naturally rare beauty.

4. When investing in jadeite, it is better to have less than too much. Buying a piece of high-quality ice jade is much more valuable than buying ten pieces of glutinous ice jade. The more high-end and exquisite the jade is, the more stable and obvious its appreciation potential is. Judging from this year's jade auction market, the starting price of jade collection auctions increases by about 5% to 8% each year, which shows how fast high-end jade appreciates.
