High-quality ingredients often require different cooking methods, and the same goes for jade bracelets. There are many types of finished jade products, but when people get a piece of jade raw stone, the first thing they consider making is a jade bracelet. The materials for jade bracelets require a very large area of jade raw stone, and it needs to be as free of lines and cracks as possible. It needs to have a certain degree of transparency and a certain quality of water before it will be considered for making bracelets. However, jadeite raw stones that meet all of the above conditions are very scarce, which has caused the price of jadeite bracelets to soar, making many people afraid of them. The above is the premise for many merchants to make bracelets, but some merchants will choose some inferior jadeite raw stones to make inferior jadeite bracelets and sell them at high prices, or they will use materials that do not belong to the category of jade to make up the numbers, going further and further down the road of dishonesty. "Thirty-six waters, seventy-two beans, and one hundred and eight blues." There are many styles of jade, and there are also many jade raw stone mining areas. The quality of raw stones produced by different mining areas varies. The quality of raw stones produced by different mines and different mineral layers also varies. Generally speaking, except for merchants with resources, most of the jade bracelets that can be obtained from the raw jade in the raw stone market tend to be mid-to-low-end, and there are few high-end jade bracelet materials. 80% of high-end jade bracelet materials come from public auctions. Under normal circumstances, those who participate in the public auction are all senior people in the industry. All raw materials are carefully counted by the team for bidding competition. The transaction prices of bracelet materials in the public auction are almost all over one million or tens of millions. For a piece of raw stone, its actual market value will be estimated before bidding for roughly how many bracelets it can make. Therefore, due to the limited amount of bracelet material and many influencing factors, it is natural that jade bracelets are expensive. Let’s take the Jieyang public auction that just ended this year as an example. A friend won the bid for a piece of jadeite raw stone weighing about 9 kilograms with 9 million yuan. The average price reached more than 1 million yuan per kilogram. The quality of the jadeite was between high ice and glass. The selling price of a single jadeite bracelet of this quality in the current jadeite market may directly reach the million level. From this, you can imagine that if you want to make an exquisite and beautiful jade bracelet, you need to have a certain amount of capital support to obtain the supply. Many people on the Internet are talking about craftsmanship, expressing their views on the difficulty of making jade bracelets and the time it takes. In fact, this is not the case. With the current development of mechanization, it is much better than the previous pure manual production. And high-quality jade bracelets do not need to be carved by high-quality master craftsmen. Good jade needs no carving; the way of the world is simple. Only when jade is skillfully carved can it be considered a masterpiece. High-quality jade bracelets are rarely carved. Therefore, the fundamental problem in making exquisite jade bracelets lies in the raw materials. The high price of raw materials and the difficulty in obtaining them naturally lead to the high price of jade. Especially this year, due to various reasons, the amount of jadeite raw stones flowing into the country has decreased a lot compared with the past. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
