Other people’s bracelets have doubled in value, but mine is still the same price. I’m so depressed!

Aunt Wang is a loyal jade lover. She often pays attention to some jade jewelry on the market and has a very detailed understanding of the market conditions. But even for such a senior jade fan, what worries him most is that the market price of the bracelet he bought five years ago remains the same.

On the other hand, several friends bought bracelets in the last two years, and the quality and color of the bracelets are all good. Many people admire them when they see them, and some even pay a very high price to get them. They have obviously made a profit. So, why is it that other people’s jade bracelets are appreciating in value while your own jade bracelets are not? It turns out that the problem still comes out in these aspects:

Water

"Experts look at the quality, laymen look at the color" This is an old saying, but it reveals the most critical factor of jade's value. Regarding the classification of jadeite quality, the most common and easily accepted are: glass type, ice type, glutinous type, bean type, etc., and there are many subdivisions in between. From the perspective of appreciation, of course, the better the quality of the jade, the greater the potential for appreciation. For example, a glass-type bracelet that can reach this level now costs over one million.

However, bean-type jade bracelets are generally of rough quality and have very low value. The market price ranges from several hundred to several thousand yuan. However, you can often see a large amount of brick materials on the market, and the value will be even lower. This type of bracelet has no room for appreciation at all.

Bracelets of this type are of very poor quality and will not appreciate in value even after 100 years, so they are not worth collecting at all.

color:

Green is the most precious color in jade, and generally speaking, green jade is more valuable. Jade bracelets with room for appreciation must not only have good water quality but also good green color. Moreover, the larger the green area, the higher the value. A bracelet full of green is much more expensive than one with only a section of green.

At the same time, there are many kinds of green, the most precious of which is imperial green. Secondly, the prices of colors with different shades can differ by many times. Jade bracelets with bright and rich colors often give people a pleasing feeling and are very expensive.

shape

Style has a great influence on the price of jade, especially the price of mid-to-high-end jade, and this point is often overlooked.

For example, the same is glutinous ice jade, the carved bracelet has less appreciation space than the plain bracelet

Because, although carved bracelets look very beautiful, they usually have serious cracks, so there is basically not much room for appreciation.

volume

Among jadeite of the same color and type, a jadeite bracelet with a very full, round, regular and symmetrical shape will cost several times more.

The width and thickness of the bracelet also affect the price.

From this it can be seen that if you are doing high-end collection, you must spend more time choosing the quality, color and workmanship of the jade bracelet. This can be seen in previous high-end auctions:

This is a jade bracelet that appeared at the Christie's auction in Hong Kong in 1999. It was sold for HK$19.82 million, setting a world auction record for jade bracelets at the time.

This also explains why jade bracelets at auctions repeatedly set record high prices.

Let’s take a look at Liu Tao’s full green jadeite bracelet. It is very eye-catching and very elegant. Its current market price is tens of millions!

We can see that the key to evaluating jade bracelets depends on our positioning. If you just want to wear it, then it’s fine as long as you like it, and you don’t have to worry about whether it appreciates in value or not. As a high-end collection and investment, we must put in enough effort in terms of quality, water color, and workmanship. This is its fundamental value. At the same time, the merchant's cost control, profit retention, and willingness to make greater concessions are also key links, which will directly affect the cost and profit margin of our collection.
