Where do so many high-end jadeite products that are sold at public auctions every year go?

The domestic jade market is a distribution center, always filled with a large number of "cheap goods" or "sky-high" ordinary goods. It is difficult to see good jade. Even if you occasionally come across a few high-end goods, they are regarded as the treasures of the store, and most customers can only look at them.

Where do so many high-end jadeite products that are sold at public auctions every year go?

Many people are confused: Where do so many high-end jadeite produced at public auctions every year go? Through what channels do these high-end jadeites reach customers?

Gambling on raw stones is an extremely risky industry that requires extremely high vision. Some people may lose tens of thousands of dollars betting on raw stones worth millions and go bankrupt, while others may become rich overnight by betting tens of thousands and the value of the stones grows to millions.

Getting rich overnight and getting poor overnight are constantly happening.

Gambling on stones is difficult but also easy, but most people still rely on spending money to gain experience and lessons to slowly get through it. This requires capital chain support, and merchants without strength dare not try it easily.

An experienced master can make a rough guess about the quality of any raw stone by looking at its surface. This requires experience and skills. After all, gambling on stones is all about gambling, and the risk is extremely high. Experience and judgment are only auxiliary, and the final result depends on luck. Regardless of whether you bet on a loss or an increase in value, the stone will eventually have to be sold again or as a finished product.

A piece of stone will usually be opened first and then sliced. After that, it will be determined whether to make a bracelet or a pendant based on the water quality, color band distribution, cracks, etc. of the slice. Unsuitable slices will be directly sold to jade middlemen.

The best part about this stone is its green color, which makes it perfect for making a Wu Shi Pai. However, many merchants still choose to grind it into an egg-shaped surface. Why? Because this will increase its commercial value.

In the jade industry, many merchants will compromise for the sake of the market. Good materials will be used to make bracelets first, and then flower pieces, egg-shaped surfaces, etc. will be considered to maximize the benefits of a piece of material. This has become the current norm in the industry, except for a few merchants who still insist on their own ideas.

Although jade carvers hope to produce more things with heritage and traditional collection value, if you want to do these, you have to make some choices. If we stick to traditional craftsmanship and hire experienced masters in the industry to do the work, the profit will be a little lower, but only if we can win customers will they truly recognize us.

When wholesalers ship goods, they usually sell more in wholesale. For example, the four bracelets below are called first-hand goods in the jargon, and are usually made of the same material. If all the bracelets were sold, they would cost about 200,000 yuan. But if you choose only one, it would cost at least 100,000 yuan.

Why? First-hand goods have both the beginning and the end of the goods. If the beginning of the goods have been picked up, how can we sell the end of the goods?

With the over-exploitation of Burmese jade ore and the current situation in Myanmar, the price of raw jade in public auctions is getting higher and higher. More and more merchants are waiting and watching, and are not willing to make a move easily. The price of finished jade products is also rising, even exceeding the increase in real estate.

So the advice for jadeite novices is "If your financial conditions allow, try to choose good quality jadeite."

As for novices, when choosing jadeite, you can pay attention to these tips:

1. Look at the water quality. The most common jade quality types are ice type, ice glutinous type, glutinous type and bean type. The finer and more transparent the quality is, the better. There are also some stones that are not even bean type, so you should pay special attention to them.

2. Look at the color. The cleaner, brighter and richer the color, the better. It is not an exaggeration to say that a one point difference in color will double the price.

3. Look for defects. Cracks have a great impact on the value of jadeite, and cotton, impurities, ringworm, black spots, etc. also have different effects on the quality.

4. Look at the workmanship. The carving details should be clear and the overall feeling should be unified. The characters and zodiac animals should look lively and vivid.

5. Others. For example, factors such as whether there are any patterns or carvings, the thickness of the inlaid parts, whether there is a back cover, and the weight should also be paid attention to.

In short, a word of advice to novices: "Look more, buy less, and don't pick up bargains easily."

No matter when, we will be amazed by the dazzling array of jade jewelry on the counters of jewelry stores, but perhaps behind every piece of jade jewelry, there are countless people's sweat and hardships, and many unknown stories.

We will express our heartfelt respect to those jade workers who have worked hard to improve the development of this industry, and treat every beauty with kindness. This is not only a respect for the jade workers, but also a respect for all the people who work diligently on the labor front.
