The appreciation of jadeite’s value will undergo certain changes as the times progress!

With the progress of the times, the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid reform and development of the Internet, Burmese jade has entered the public eye more and more frequently. For novices, choosing some Burmese jade from the numerous types of jade for themselves, family and friends is often a difficult and hesitant task. Of course, these are not a problem for the rich. With enough money on the card, they can go directly to the jade market!

So the question of how to choose Burmese jadeite covers a very wide range, because the selection methods are different at different price points. The selection methods for jadeite of different themes are also different. Therefore, there are a few points that are very important. But today I will share with you from several other perspectives, some small points that are not related to jade but are crucial.

When choosing jadeite, first choose a jadeite merchant.

This is even more important than the jade itself, because there is no constant international standard or exact industry standard for the price of jade. There are many tricks, a lot of knowledge, and many tricks. This is why jade is so complicated. Therefore, it is important to choose a conscientious merchant, because good merchants pay attention to quality and reputation, and hope to have repeat customers, so when selecting materials and purchasing, they will strictly screen them. Rather than just looking at profits. But it’s different with unscrupulous merchants, who specifically pick out products that will cheat customers, with the sole purpose of earning maximum profit. Therefore, choosing a good merchant is the first factor in selecting jadeite.

Choosing Jadeite, You Must Choose the Weather

The optical properties of jade itself are quite special, and its reflection of light is also different from other things. Therefore, when choosing jadeite, you must choose one with sufficient light and clear weather. You must not watch it indoors, under lights, or on cloudy days.

Choose jadeite at the right time

The price changes in the jade market are different at different times. Generally, there is the most supply before the Chinese New Year and the price discounts are relatively large. July and August are the off-seasons for the jade market and the prices are the lowest. However, there are relatively fewer goods on the market and there is relatively little room for selection of jade. So everyone can still choose different times to buy according to their needs.

Choosing Jadeite, You Must Choose the Channel

The correct purchasing channel directly determines how many times your jadeite changes hands and determines the cost-effectiveness of the jadeite. Therefore, if you can find the sales channel of the jadeite manufacturer, you will undoubtedly find the most cost-effective jadeite.

Let’s share some detailed operations:

① Choose a merchant selling jadeite, go to the store and scan it with your eyes to see if there is anything that catches your eye. As the saying goes, "Money can't buy what you love."

② If you see a jade jewelry that you like, ask the store owner to quote a price first. Think about it in your mind and decide whether you can afford a 30% to 50% discount.

③If the price meets your psychological expectations and is safe, pick it up and observe it carefully. It is best to use a strong flashlight to illuminate it and see if there are any cracks.

④ Don’t just look at it in the store, but also look at it under natural light. The color can only be seen accurately under natural light!

⑤ After comprehensively judging the type, water content, color, defects, and workmanship of the product, if you like it, first ask whether there is a certificate, whether it can be returned or exchanged within a few days, and other matters related to after-sales services. After saying hello, you can consider bargaining.

⑥If you don’t like the offer, don’t bargain. Once you bargain, if the store agrees to sell it to you, you have to pay.

⑦ In physical stores, the prices of jadeite are usually relatively high. Based on your understanding of the market, open a low price first. The price cannot be too high or too low, leaving some room for price increases.

⑧Bargaining is inevitable, and the deal can be considered when the psychological prices of both parties are close.

⑨ Once the price reaches the upper limit of your psychological range and the seller still refuses to sell, don't argue with him. Instead, adopt the strategy of walking away and see how the store responds. If the store keeps you, the price will be pretty close to the transaction price. If they ignore you directly, if they really like you, they will come back and negotiate the price.

⑩Once the price is agreed, payment is done. If we can’t come to an agreement, let’s go to the next one!

Finally, choosing jade is actually that simple! Have enough financial budget; come across a fine jadeite that catches your eye; bargain, and get it done if the price is right!
