The price of jadeite has been rising year by year, becoming the most popular investment collection, far surpassing antique calligraphy and paintings. The reason is very simple.

The increase in jade prices in recent years makes people feel like they are witnessing history. Now many jade lovers say that the jade market is in chaos, it is difficult to distinguish the real jade from the fake, and good jade is mixed together, and good jade is priceless. The finest jadeite appears directly in auction houses and is rarely seen in the trading market. Its price far exceeds that of antique calligraphy and paintings. So what is the reason behind this?

Let's first compare the same type of jewelry and common investment collectibles.

Everyone’s biggest impression of jewelry is diamonds, because the previous marketing advertisements for diamonds were very successful, and diamonds are forever. Diamonds are also packaged as a symbol of love, but with the impact of market downturn and economic crisis, prices will drop. However, at auctions in recent years, diamonds have not been affected by the economic crisis. Instead, they have been sold at high prices, breaking transaction records many times.

In the past decade, the price of high-end jade has increased by 400 to 500 times, and even mid-range high-end jade has increased by dozens of times. Many collectors, high-end people, etc. have turned their attention from traditional antique calligraphy and paintings to jade. Jade has huge room for appreciation in recent years and is worthy of everyone's attention and investment.

The price of gold was 200 yuan per gram in 2010, and 389 yuan per gram in 2020. The increase in ten years was less than double. As our most common insurance investment product, there is a saying that goes "buy antiques in prosperous times and buy gold in troubled times". This year, affected by natural disasters, the price of gold has also been rising.

In addition, the amount of gold that can be mined is limited, and mineral resources are a secret of every country. But it is still dwarfed by jadeite. The output of gold is much higher than that of jadeite. All jadeite basically comes from Myanmar. The total storage volume does not exceed 10,000 tons, and the output of high-end jade is extremely low. Scarcity makes things valuable, so the surge in jade prices in recent years is understandable.

Regardless of the quality of jade, or high-end or low-end series, the most important reason for the soaring value of jade is that it is a non-renewable resource, similar to mine resources such as gold. Once the raw jade is mined, one less will be mined, and it will not appear again in a short time. If you want the raw jade to appear again, it will take billions of years to incubate it.

As the scale of jadeite raw stone mining increases, the Myanmar government has also been imposing restrictions. Especially in recent years, under the influence of policy factors, jadeite mining has also been subject to many restrictions. Therefore, the price of jadeite raw stone has soared, not to mention the finished jadeite products.

Jade is an explosive growth area in the collection market, and jade transaction volume of tens of millions of yuan is the norm. Good jade is rarely circulated in the market now, especially in ordinary trading markets. Everyone chooses to put high-end jade in auction houses or trade it privately.

If you want to know whether the jadeite you have is valuable and whether you can trade it, here are three different directions for reference. You may wish to learn about them.

Direction 1: High ice and glass jadeite with green

Ice and glass types are both high-end series of jade. This type of jade is rare in the world, with excellent quality and water, and huge potential for collection appreciation. It is the jade that jade lovers dream of. The high-end jade worth over 100 million in auction houses is also of this type of jade.

Direction 2: Jadeite with rich and even color, overall transparency, exquisite workmanship, good quality and sufficient water head is undoubtedly a fine product.

The market prices of jadeite in the above two categories start from 100,000 yuan to hundreds of millions, which are basically out of reach for ordinary collectors.

Direction 3: The raw materials are general, but the craftsmanship must be exquisite and have its own characteristics

This type of jade is suitable for the general public to buy, and it also has a certain appreciation potential. However, if you want to maintain its value, it is recommended that you choose good jade for collection. The appreciation potential of mid- and low-end jade products is not large in the future. However, the overall market is optimistic. I wonder what everyone thinks about the surge in jade prices in recent years?
