Investment and Appreciation of Jadeite

Recently, jadeite, as the finest quality of jade, has been rising in price. Although the price of jade has not fallen, it is still one of the most valuable investment collections today. "Judging from the current supply and demand situation in the market, jade will continue to rise in price." The domestic jade demand market is huge, but jade resources are almost exhausted, and these are the reasons why the price of jade continues to rise.

Jade has five most prominent characteristics: First, its colors are colorful, including yellow jade, red jade, green jade, violet, white and green, etc., and they can appear on the same jade, which is a feature that other gems cannot have; second, there are many types and endless changes, and the different thicknesses and shapes of its crystals affect its transparency; third, it is extremely precious and hard to come by, and it is extremely difficult to find the same jade with the same texture and color; fourth, other gems almost all reflect their value by weight, but jade is not the case. The above characteristics determine its comprehensive measurement characteristics, so there is no unified formula for pricing; fifth, jade is extremely resistant to pressure and heat, and these characteristics naturally increase the collection and preservation value of jade.

In the jewelry market, Myanmar is known as the kingdom of jade, but the high-quality raw materials there have been almost exhausted in recent years. A finger-sized piece of Burmese glass, in today's market, costs at least tens of thousands of yuan if it is colorless, and a piece with a hint of green is conservatively estimated to cost at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Against the backdrop of market frenzy, the number of investors is growing. Early investors were generally professional collectors, but jade collectors have now become ordinary consumers. Those with more money buy big and expensive ones, while those with less financial resources buy a small piece to collect.

When collecting and investing in jadeite, the first important thing to pay attention to is to avoid buying fakes. Here we need to remind consumers that they should first understand what A, B, C, and D goods are. Only genuine jade that has not been artificially processed is A-grade jade, while jade that imitates A-grade jade is called B-grade or C-grade jade, but the value is far less than that of A-grade jade. A-grade products have small particles and high transparency. Compared with Grade A products, Grade B and Grade C products look very beautiful, but they have little investment value.

From 2001 to 2011, the price of jadeite increased by an average of about 20% per year. From 2010 to now, its price has increased by more than 30%. The point is that the price of low-end jade has generally remained stagnant and has not increased significantly; while the price of mid-range jade has risen significantly; as for high-end and special-end jade, they are showing a rapid upward trend. In just over 20 years from the 1970s to the 1990s, the price of high-end jade increased by 2,000%. The most untouchable items are the top-grade jadeite, which constantly breaks records at auctions. ! Therefore, experts generally believe that in the next three years, domestic demand for mid- to high-end jade will increase 15 times.

However, in the case of rising prices, there are some suggestions for consumers, that is, they should abandon the idea of ​​finding a bargain, observe more, and don't start investing immediately on impulse. Entering the market so easily can easily cause economic losses. Although the long-term trend of jadeite continues to rise, many consumers do not know how to identify the quality of jadeite well. Preparations for entering the market must be made, and novice investors should be especially cautious.
