Key points for jade investment

Starting point of investment: There is no specific measurement standard. The editor recommends that a single piece of jadeite worth more than 300,000 yuan is worth investing in.

Chinese people prefer jade. In recent years, the value of jade, which has withstood the baptism of the financial crisis, has "grown wildly" and has set new highs in the auction market. However, as the output of jade will become less and less, especially the rare high-quality jade, jade is still the best choice for investment and value preservation. However, experts point out that if a single piece of jade is bought for investment purposes, it should be priced at more than 300,000 yuan. If we only choose a small piece of jade jewelry, how can we take into account the characteristics of jewelry and investment?

How to choose

1. Natural materials are most important

The texture is natural, which is commonly known as A-grade natural jade on the market. Apart from carving, there is no artificial adulteration.

2. The texture should be fine

That is, the transparency of jade and the coarseness of its particles. The higher the transparency and the finer the texture of jade, the higher the value.

3. Mainly green

Among jadeite, green jadeite is the most precious, among which Yang Green is quite popular among people. Therefore, the brightness and uniformity of Yang Green determine the grade of jadeite.

4. The shape should be full

The shape should be full and not too thin or too carved.

5. Second-hand jadeite: Maintenance

If the jade jewelry has been worn, its maintenance status should be observed at the same time.

6. Jade plays a leading role

Unless other gemstones account for a large proportion of the jewelry, the value is mainly based on jadeite.

7. Choose your skin tone when choosing jade

When preparing to buy, since jade will change color when worn on the body, experts often recommend that buyers try it on first to see if it matches their skin tone. Because jade is not only a collectible, but also a piece of jewelry.

8. The more refined the better for the same value

If you buy a jade pendant and a jade bracelet at the same price, it is recommended to choose a pendant with better quality and color, which is far more effective in preserving value than a jade bracelet with "large material".

How to invest

1. The price of jade is different from that of antiques

Jade is different from antiques. It is a piece of jewelry, so its age has little effect on its value. Some old jadeite on the market is very expensive, often due to its owner and origin, but this has gone beyond the category of jadeite jewelry and involves the scope of antiques or handicrafts.

2. Balancing risks is the most important thing in jade investment

Since jade has poor liquidity, the proportion of investment in physical jade and stocks in an average household's asset allocation should not exceed 10%. In order to balance the risks, it is recommended to invest appropriately in gold trading when buying jade to hedge the investment risks, because gold trading has better liquidity and is resistant to volatility, which are exactly the qualities that jade lacks. In addition, the saying that jade is hidden in prosperous times and gold is hidden in troubled times also shows that under certain conditions, the rise and fall of gold and jade will develop in opposite directions, and the risks and returns will complement each other.
