Is jade still worth investing in today? You will understand after reading this!

Jade is a gem unique to Oriental people. It is gentle, reserved, full of spirituality, and precious jade is hard to come by. Jade shocked the world once it was discovered. Its bright and colorful colors, delicate and moist texture, and otherworldly aura have deeply impressed people. Therefore, for many years, jade has been the first choice for people to wear and collect, and jade collection investment is also the most popular at present. Especially in recent years, the price of fine jade has skyrocketed year by year. Experts predict that the resources of fine jade are close to exhaustion. Price increase is an inevitable trend, and it will never fall in price, unlike gold which has large reserves, can be regenerated and reused. Therefore, fine jade is considered the finest collection in the eyes of many collectors and investors.

As people's living standards improve, more and more people choose to invest in jewelry, and jade is the most popular among them. In the past 20 years, the amount of jade mined has even reached the total amount mined in the past 300 years. Jade lovers are willing to spend money on this jade that can maintain and appreciate its value.

According to analysis by industry experts, the investment potential of the jade industry will be greater than ever in 2017. As a collectible, jadeite has seen a rapid increase in market price in recent years. If you don’t know much about jadeite, it is recommended that you do not invest blindly. However, if you can buy good jadeite, its value can still increase steadily.

The price of jade is affected by both short-term and long-term factors. The increase in people's consumption of jade; coupled with rising prices and currency depreciation; the Myanmar government's monopoly on jade raw materials; the increase in bidders at public auctions; Myanmar's political stability, etc., Myanmar is the only country in the world that can produce gem-grade jade. After hundreds of years of mining, the raw materials are facing depletion. Many merchants said that some colored jadeite is not available many times a year. With the favorable economic situation in China, people have more and more wealth, while the resources of high-end jadeite are becoming less and less. This is a long-term factor affecting the price of jadeite.

Since last year, some people have said that the price of jadeite might fall. In fact, this is unlikely. The output of jadeite, a resource-based jade, is very limited. As people's income increases, the demand will grow, and the price will naturally rise. In the past decade, the price of jade has continued to soar. Although it has converged slightly at the end of last year, the overall trend is still upward, and the subsequent rise will enter a more rational stage.

As the saying goes, "Gold has a price, but jade is priceless." On the one hand, this explains how precious jade is and how hard it is to come by. On the other hand, it also shows that the value of jade cannot be measured by a certain "weight and measure" like gold, and this is especially true for jadeite, the "king of jade."

There is a huge price difference between jadeite of different qualities. The color, transparency, structure, volume and craftsmanship of jade are all important aspects that determine the value of jade. Usually the colors of jadeite come in many varieties, including red, green, blue, brown, black, white, and purple. Among them, emerald green is the most precious. High-quality jadeite should meet the four qualities experts refer to as “yang, thick, positive, and harmonious.” “Yang” refers to bright and gorgeous colors; “thick” refers to the fullness and richness of the jade color; “positive” refers to the purity of the color without flaws; and “harmony” refers to the even and soft color of the jade.

Jade is not only about its color, but also its texture and transparency. In other words, the crystal clear ones are the best, and the translucent ones are the second best. Even if the color of a piece of jade is beautiful, if it is not transparent, its value is very low. From the perspective of jade's internal structure: the smaller the mineral particles in jade, the better the texture and transparency, and of course the higher the value, and vice versa.

For investors who want to collect jade, high-quality jade resources are becoming increasingly scarce. If jade is considered as an investment, investors should choose jade with good texture, good color, and excellent craftsmanship. Such jade has a greater chance and room for appreciation than jade of ordinary prices.
