What kind of jade is worth collecting? Before collecting jadeite, take a look at these suggestions!

Customers often ask me how much jadeite needs to cost to be considered collection-level? “In fact, whether a piece of jade is collection-grade or not does not depend on its price. Jade that costs several thousand yuan per piece can also be collection-grade.” No matter what the price range of the jade, you must buy the “top pieces” of each price range, and not buy the “bottom pieces”.

As the king of jade, jadeite is increasingly loved and sought after by people, especially good jadeite materials. Scarcity makes things valuable. Jadeite can be used for decoration and can also be collected to appreciate in value. Therefore, collecting jadeite has become a very popular thing among jade lovers. As the saying goes, "A good house and a good car are not as good as a piece of good jadeite. Passing down gold and silver is not as good as passing down a piece of jadeite from generation to generation."

Benefits of Jade Collection

1. Scarcity. The scarcity of jade also determines its unique collection and investment value. The price of jade is stable and appreciates significantly, and it has extremely high collection and appreciation value.

2. Family inheritance. After all, there are few high-quality jadeite. No matter which generation it is passed down, it is always a high-quality product. As long as the quality is good, the color is good, and the workmanship is fine, the price will always appreciate. As long as you have spare money, feel free to save it for your descendants. Hundreds of years later, your descendants will still thank you as your great-grandmother. Fortunately, you left me a treasure that can help me in an emergency.

3. Easy to carry and store. Compared with calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, and ancient books, jade is easier to preserve and is recognized by the world; compared with "hard goods" such as houses, cars, and mahogany furniture, it is easy to concentrate and transfer assets.

4. Unique security. Compared with other collectibles, jade collection has its own unique safety. No matter where it is placed or worn on the body, there is no need to worry about moisture or termites like calligraphy and painting, or wooden antiques.

Not all jade is worth collecting

Jadeites that can continue to appreciate in value are still a minority, so what standards should these jadeites meet?

Jade can be divided into two types according to its value, collection-grade jade and wear-grade jade, and there is an extremely complex standard for judging the value of jade. Many jade lovers who are interested in collecting jewelry find it difficult to get the hang of it and are deterred from buying jade, thus missing out on an excellent investment channel.

In fact, jadeite collection is not something that is off limits to everyone. As long as you master some tips and tricks, you can also play around in the jadeite collection market.

To see whether a piece of jade is collection-level, one should mainly look at its overall shape, quality, color and carving. A piece of jadeite worth collecting must have three characteristics.

Excellent species:

It must be natural goods (A-grade) that have not been artificially processed. In addition, the jade material itself must be relatively rare, and it must have beautiful color, good quality, or clever color. At least one advantage is that the ones with both good color and good quality are the treasures among jades.

Beautiful color:

Jade comes in a variety of colors, not just green. Jade has nearly a hundred colors. The most common jades we see on the market are green, red, purple, white, yellow, and black. It is these different colors of jade that make up the colorful world of jade.

For example, Imperial Green, the king of jadeite. In the auction history over the years, even a small piece of Imperial Green jadeite has a price of more than 100,000 yuan. "Scarcity makes things valuable", this high-quality product only exists in the hands of very few people, and has great appreciation potential.

Yijia:

The shape should be beautiful and full, and the carving craftsmanship should be exquisite. Good carving can make up for some defects of the jade material itself (cracks, discoloration, etc.). Poor carving can sometimes ruin a piece of originally good material. For some jade carvings, the artistic value given by their creators far exceeds the value of their raw materials. We all have aesthetic sense and can tell the quality of a carving at a glance. At least the person's eyes are not crooked and his body is straight.

In fact, there are only two reasons for collecting. Fashionable collectors collect because they like it and believe that what they like is good; rational collectors collect because of its value, and value here ≠ price.

Some friends are eager to collect good stuff and are impatient to achieve success. The editor advises everyone to be patient, good materials don’t appear casually, jade is looking for the right person!

Although collecting is also "fun", I believe that it should be played in a meaningful way, that is called elegance and collecting. The focus of collecting should also revolve around money. Using your eyes to discover the value and letting the collection appreciate in value is the ultimate purpose of collecting. Otherwise, it is called losing one's ambition due to playing around, and the result is that the more you play, the poorer you become.

It is recommended that collectors who are interested in jadeite should first learn more about collection knowledge from the editor, which will definitely be helpful, and help them avoid detours and waste less money. Don't be greedy for small bargains. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for", cheap goods can definitely not be good products.
