Value, collection...From what angles do experts look at jadeite?

When it comes to jade, consumers will pay attention to its price, collectors will pay attention to its appreciation potential. There are many people paying attention to the jade market, but everyone's focus is different and not very comprehensive. So from what angles do experts look at jade?

value

Crazy people buy, crazy people sell, and crazy people are waiting. Of course, this does not mean that people who buy and sell jade are crazy. This sentence is describing the popularity of the jade market. People's obsession with jade has exceeded imagination.

Why has the price of jade risen so fast in recent years? First of all, there are many rumors about Myanmar's mining areas, such as the imminent closure of mines and mining bans. These rumors have been circulating. This year, due to the impact of the epidemic, Myanmar's mining areas have indeed stopped mining for a long time.

On the one hand, the cost and difficulty of purchasing jadeite raw stones are higher for merchants, and the value of jadeite is rising rapidly. On the other hand, many consumers have begun to wait and see, and many people think that the current price of jadeite is too high and dare not buy it.

In fact, almost ten years ago, everyone thought that the price of jade was too high, and many people even asserted that the price of jade would soon plummet. But now it seems that jade, as a non-renewable resource, has only been rising for so many years and has never fallen. So only those with vision can win.

Although our technology for mining jade is more advanced now, the reserves of jade ore have not increased worldwide, so the supply of jade has not increased.

On the contrary, the faster we mine, the more worried many people are that the jade resources will be exhausted in the future and the price will become higher and higher, so they have to hurry to buy. On the other hand, as people's living standards improve, more and more people are buying jade.

As a result, jadeite begins to be in short supply and its price rises accordingly. People with financial resources, such as jadeite experts and collectors, will continue to buy it. But is it enough to just buy the jadeite? Of course not, we also need to have a precise eye for goods.

Even consumers who visit the jade market for the first time can find a nice piece among the wide variety of goods, but not everyone can judge whether the jade is genuine.

When we say having an eye for quality, we mean not only being able to differentiate between ordinary jade and high-quality jade, but also being able to differentiate between genuine jade and fake jade. If you know how to identify quality and understand the market conditions of jade, you will naturally be able to buy good jade.

collect

In recent years, jadeite collection has almost become a new trend. Many people want to buy some jadeite collections, but some people have found that their jadeite has depreciated. How do people who make money by collecting jadeite choose jadeite?

The quality must be good.

Which type of jade is considered to be of good quality? Jadeite with high water quality is naturally considered to be of good quality, but what about other jadeite? Jadeite that is outstanding in some aspect of its quality, water, color, and craftsmanship can actually be said to be of high quality.

The amount must be small.

Jade collection focuses on quality rather than quantity. Jade is so expensive that if you want to buy more pieces within your budget, you can only buy ordinary goods. But if we buy less, we can buy higher quality styles.

Another meaning of small quantity is that this piece of jade is unique, with rare color, rare shape, rare craftsmanship, etc. There are not many pieces of this kind of jade in the entire market, so it is the first choice for collection.

Three parts material, seven parts labor.

The craftsmanship has a significant impact on jade. Jade carving includes the clever use of colors, the overall layout concept, and the expression of meaning. Jade processing includes inlaying, polishing and so on.

future

From ancient times to the present, we have been a nation that loves jade. Jadeite, as a high-quality jade, is naturally loved by the Chinese people, but the audience is mainly middle-aged and elderly people. In recent years, the national trend has resurgence, and the simple style of jadeite has begun to attract the attention of young people.

With the development of the Internet, the distance between the world has been shortened. In the past, most people who liked jade were from East Asia, but now, jade has gone global and we can see jade in many shows.

In other words, in the future, there may be a trend of wearing jade all over the world, and Myanmar is the only country that exports jewelry-grade jade. The demand for jade will continue to rise in the future, but the supply will not increase significantly.

In this way, the price increase of jade has almost become an inevitable trend. Many experts even feel that there is no reason why jade should not increase in price. In fact, from the above three perspectives, the price of jade will still rise in the short term.
