Not all jade is worth millions. Let us help you understand the true value of jade.

In the eyes of most people, the status of jadeite is definitely much higher than that of other jades such as southern red and turquoise. Moreover, its status as the king of jade is also recognized by the public. It is such a kind of jade that has so many advantages, but its market development is so slow. At a time when many jades and agates are reaching their peak prices, the price of jadeite can now only reach half of its peak level.

In my opinion, the main reason for this situation is that many people have a misunderstanding of the value of jade.

First, many people believe that jade is only affordable for the rich and powerful, and is not suitable for the general public. In the eyes of many people, the price of jade is in the millions, tens of millions or even higher. Ordinary people simply can’t afford it.

Second, the jade market is too complicated, with good and bad people mixed together, and it is too easy to be deceived.

Third, some people think that jade jewelry is mostly suitable for women and that its styles are too simple compared to other jade jewelry.

However, real jade is not like this. In fact, jadeite has a collection value that cannot be matched by many other cultural relics and jades. So what is so attractive about jade? Let me introduce them to you one by one.

Stable market, affordable prices

Nowadays, the collecting craze has shown signs of cooling down. The prices of many cultural relics, jades, and agates that had previously skyrocketed have also returned to rational levels. And those investors who got in at the peak of prices have lost all their money. The prices of many cultural relics and jades are inflated due to speculation. Once the market is saturated and the hype is over, its price will naturally fall again and again. Some collectors or investors who go with the flow can only suffer losses again and again. The price of jade has always been rational. Its ability to maintain value is far stronger than other jade collectibles. Therefore, whether investing or collecting jadeite, the risk is much lower.

I believe many people would not agree with the statement that jade is affordable. In fact, the reason why jade is out of reach in the eyes of many people is mainly due to the misleading information in many film and television dramas. Jade can be said to be one of the most frequently appearing jewelry in major film and television dramas. Moreover, almost every time it appears, it is expensive and dazzling. Most of the jadeite on display are priced at millions, tens of millions or even higher. At the same time, it has also caused many people to misunderstand the price of jade. Of course, top-quality jade jewelry is indeed very expensive. But in fact, as far as the current jade market situation is concerned, what really dominates the consumers are the mid- and low-end jade jewelry. The prices of these jades range from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan, and people have a lot of choices.

Diverse textures and profound meanings

There are many types of jade. Common varieties include old pit jade, ice jade, water jade and more than a dozen other varieties. Moreover, different types of jade have different textures. For example, old pit jadeite has a delicate, pure texture and no flaws. The texture of lavender jadeite is coarse and fine, and it is translucent. It can be said that each type of jade has its own unique texture. Therefore, jade can meet the aesthetic needs of different people. This makes many people love it.

Jade jewelry is both a material product and a spiritual product. People often buy jade to express their feelings. Jade has been associated with vitality, health, wealth and longevity since ancient times. Jade also symbolizes the steadfast love between husband and wife. More and more people use jade as gifts to express good wishes. How can one not love such a meaningful accessory?

Health benefits, suitable for both men and women

I believe many people know that jade has health benefits. But what are the health benefits of jade? Jade contains more than 30 trace elements beneficial to the human body, such as selenium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, manganese, magnesium, calcium, etc. These elements make human cell tissue more active, promote blood circulation, enhance metabolism, eliminate waste from the body, and improve immunity. Moreover, jade has the effects of beautifying the skin, calming the nerves, and prolonging life. Regularly wearing natural jade can cure diseases, prolong life, and ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.

It goes without saying that many women love jade. In fact, jade is also very suitable for men to wear. Whether in film and television dramas or in real life, many male entrepreneurs and wealthy people wear jade jewelry to highlight their noble temperament. There are countless plots in movies and TV dramas that highlight the elegance of jade. For example, in the TV series "Forensic Heroes 2", there is a drug lord nicknamed "Shi Tou Yong" who values ​​jade as his life. He risked being arrested and sneaked back home just to get back his collection of top-quality jadeite. This shows that jade is truly charming.

Recognized by both China and foreign countries, with a long history

Many jades and agates actually only have a market in the country. However, jadeite is a type of jade whose value is recognized both at home and abroad. Many Hollywood actresses like to wear jade. For example, famous movie stars such as Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lawrence have worn jade jewelry to attend important occasions. There are also four old mine jade rings collected in the appreciation hall of the Art Museum in San Francisco, USA. There are countless celebrities in China who like jade. The most famous and fanatical jade lover is none other than Liu Xiaoqing. Someone searched Baidu for photos of Liu Xiaoqing wearing jade. I guess she could wear it 365 days a year without wearing the same one twice! As for the history of jadeite collection, jadeite has been introduced to the Central Plains since the mid-Qing Dynasty, and it has only been 200 years. Compared with some jades whose collection history can be traced back thousands of years, they are indeed younger. However, with the discovery of a jade bracelet from the tomb of the Tongzhi of Yanping Prefecture in the winter of 2007, it can be confirmed that the jade processing industry began in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, jade was loved by everyone in the initial stage when it was introduced to the Central Plains. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the development of jade reached its peak. During the Qing Dynasty, there was also a person who loved jade the most in Chinese history. That was Cixi. Cixi's love for jadeite surpassed that of anyone else in history, reaching the point of obsession. She can be said to be the number one person who loved jadeite the most. It is said that the jade ornaments and jade articles she used throughout her life would require 3,000 wooden boxes to fill. Cixi particularly admired jadeite. Civil and military officials in the court contributed jadeite to win her favor, which also made this foreign object famous. The relatives and nobles were very proud to be able to get a piece of fine jadeite. It can be said that although the history of jadeite collection is short, it has never lacked highlights and brilliance.
