Investment and collection: Jade VS gold, which one would you choose?

In today's society, people wearing gold and silver can be found everywhere on the streets.

Especially when going to large occasions, you will find that most people wear gold rings, gold earrings, gold watches, gold necklaces, etc., which seems to have gradually become a symbol of wealthy people.

That’s right, when talking about gold, everyone’s first impression of it is a luxury product.

Not only does it have a high-end appearance, but it also has a high "value retention rate", making it an investment product highly praised by the public.

But in fact, jade is similar to gold. It is also a new investment product that combines beauty and collection value.

So which is more valuable, jade or gold? How to choose?

Value PK

Gold, known as hard currency, is one of the most precious and rare metals in the metal kingdom and has the properties of a natural currency.

Its value depends on its own weight. The heavier it is, the more expensive it is.

This is not the case with jadeite. There are no two pieces of jade in the world that are exactly the same.

Even jade products made from the same raw material will have slightly different textures, colors, and luster.

Due to its unique "preciousness", naturally the value of jade cannot be measured by a unified price.

Many people are curious, why is jade more expensive than gold?

People only see the expensive price of jadeite on the surface, but they don’t think deeply or explore the reasons behind it.

Good jade is much rarer than gold, and the losses during mining are very great.

But gold only needs to be smelted and can be used many times.

And if there are any mistakes during the processing, they can be re-melted and re-processed, so the value of gold products can be measured by weight.

Culture PK

The difference between jade and gold is more reflected in their cultural attributes.

"Jade culture" originated in the Neolithic Age and has continued to this day. It has become a part of Chinese culture and is closely related to the development and continuation of Chinese jade culture.

The Chinese people's favor and love for jade is deeply rooted in their bones.

Whether now or in ancient times, gold has always been synonymous with "rich people".

In ancient times, there were no restrictions on wearing gold. As long as you had money, you could wear as much as you wanted. No one would say anything even if you covered your body with gold.

But jade is different. There are certain rules for wearing jade, and not everyone can wear it.

Jade was a symbol of noble status at that time, and those who usually wore jade were high-ranking officials and nobles.

It’s not just because jade has good meaning, but more importantly, high-quality jade is out of reach for ordinary people.

Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards in our country, people pay more and more attention to art collection.

Among the dazzling array of collectibles, jade articles are increasingly loved and recognized by collectors due to their superior characteristics.

If we compare jadeite with gold, jadeite also possesses many of the investment advantages of gold, and it also has some advantages that gold cannot match, such as its scarcity.

What’s more important is that the cultural connotations behind jade make it extremely collectible. If we consider the rich shapes and colors of jade, its value will be even higher.

After all, different people have different tastes.
