Compared with stocks and gold, the investment and collection of jade has always shown a steady upward trend. From the mid-1980s to the present, the price of high-end jade has even skyrocketed by thousands of times. "Having a million ounces of gold is not as good as having a piece of jade" has become the consensus of most investors and collectors. But one issue worth noting is that not all jade has the potential for appreciation. The following four types of jade are the most representative. Buying them would be a waste of money. 1 Failed Jade Carving The quality and color of jadeite determine its value, and the carving is also an important component of its value. Good carving can make jadeite of good quality even better, and can also bring jadeite of ordinary quality back to life. If the carving fails, it will lose its original value , and you can only make up for it and clean up the mess afterwards. 2 Cracked Jadeite Jade with flaws is not scary, and a carving failure may be salvageable. However, if there are cracks, this is fatal to the jade, because cracks mean that the firmness of the jade has been destroyed, so it is easy to break . People who know the business will stay away from it, so how can there be any appreciation potential? 3 Jadeite as thin as an eggshell Eggshell jade is jade with coarse grains, less water and less transparency. If you want to sell it, you have to try your best to make it thinner. Once the material is transparent, it will naturally become as thin as an "eggshell". This kind of jade will break if squeezed or even touched , so there is no possibility of appreciation. 4. Jadeite with overly complex carvings Sculpture is a manifestation of art, but if there is too much carving and it exceeds normal needs, there will definitely be a problem. It only means that this kind of jade has flaws and needs to be concealed through carving. Under normal circumstances, for good jade raw materials, craftsmen are reluctant to use the knife to add more carving, but will try to use the least knife work to show the beauty of jade. Therefore, the more carvings are done on the jade, the less valuable it is . The ultimate goal of collecting is to maintain and increase value. In this process, we still need to find the right focus and strive to avoid the occurrence of the above situations so that we can take fewer detours!
