The key to collecting high-end jadeite: listen to what the experts say, and be cautious when investing

The jade industry has now become a hot topic. Many people are tempted by the high profits and want to get a piece of the pie. However, the various requirements of the jade industry are often so complicated that people are discouraged. Many people entered the industry blindly because they did not understand these things and ended up losing all their money. If you want to collect high-end jadeite, you must be cautious when investing. As for the little secrets of choosing, come and listen to what the experts say.

The first thing to be clear is the price of jadeite. Jadeite is a very magical jade. The price range can range from a dozen yuan to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It can be said that the price difference caused by different quality is quite large. Therefore, newbies often need to understand the price classification at the beginning, so that they can better determine the price range of the jadeite they need.

Generally speaking, jadeite that costs less than 50,000 yuan is for daily wear. It is not expensive, but the quality of the jade is acceptable. More than 50,000 is the threshold for collection. The higher the price, the more precious and rare the jade is. If you want to buy some bracelets for yourself, then those that cost less than 50,000 yuan will be able to meet your needs. As for those collection-level jadeite pieces, they often require great pains in maintenance. They are usually just kept in a cabinet and rarely taken out to be worn. Before buying, the first thing you need to figure out is your purchasing intention, whether to collect it or wear it.

The second is to take a long-term perspective when choosing jadeite. At this time, the most important thing to keep in mind is this sentence: "Jade should be of fine quality rather than quantity." Many styles and carvings are time-limited. They may be particularly popular in the past, but they may not still be able to sell for a good price decades or even hundreds of years later. Of course, this does not apply to jadeite worth tens of millions. With such high quality, people will pay for it even if the carving is ugly. Generally speaking, for our ordinary collections, we won’t lose money if we buy some with simple shapes and good quality.

The last one is to keep your eyes open to identify the authenticity. The more people engage in the jade industry, the more complicated this industry will become. The emergence of many counterfeits at this time is also expected. If you do not have the ability to distinguish them, you will be deceived in an instant and the economic losses you suffer will be huge. This ability can only be acquired by observing more, learning more and distinguishing more. It is not easy to grow into a jade master.
