Why are people reluctant to go to Myanmar to buy jade? Fake goods are also sold in the place of origin, scaring consumers

As the epidemic situation gradually improves, many people plan to find opportunities to travel and relax. For consumers who like jade, Myanmar is always an extremely attractive tourist destination.

Every year, millions of people travel to Myanmar. In recent years, many people have also traveled to Myanmar to buy jade. Myanmar has an attractive exotic style, is very close to us, and has relatively low transportation costs and food and accommodation costs. Therefore, there are many Chinese people traveling to Myanmar.

But we found that going to Myanmar to buy high-quality and low-priced jadeite is just a beautiful fantasy of ours. When we really arrived in Myanmar, many people found that there is almost no advantage in buying jadeite locally.

In the past few years, there were still many Chinese people who went to Myanmar to buy jade, but in recent years this situation has become less and less common, especially consumers who have a certain understanding of the jade industry are unwilling to go to Myanmar to buy retail jade.

The reason is simple: there are too many people who went to Myanmar to buy jade and ended up being cheated. Everyone knows that Myanmar is the kingdom of jade, and many people come here to visit. However, many tourists find that buying jade locally is not very cost-effective, and there are many fakes.

We often see such information on the Internet: tourists go to Myanmar to buy jade with great enthusiasm, thinking that they can buy high-quality and low-priced products at the place of origin, but when they come back and discuss with their jade friends, they find that they have been deceived.

People are very cautious when buying jadeite in other places, so why are so many people deceived in Myanmar? The reason is very simple. Everyone has a stereotyped impression of Myanmar and always thinks that there will be no counterfeits in the country of origin.

Many people think that jade is everywhere in Myanmar, so would merchants still sell fakes? Therefore, many people are almost unprepared when buying jade in Myanmar and do not even think about the possibility of buying fakes.

In fact, jade is a very precious gem. Its value in Myanmar is not low. As long as it is profitable, some counterfeiting and selling of jade will inevitably occur. No matter where you buy jade, you must look carefully.

Jadeite that is difficult to distinguish between true and false

In fact, Myanmar's processing level is not very high, and its jade culture is not very profound. Therefore, Myanmar's jade is generally sold directly to jade merchants in the form of raw stones, and there are not many retail jades in Myanmar.

In addition, high-quality jadeite raw stones are generally snapped up. Myanmar is not a developed country, and the local jade merchants are not necessarily very strong. Therefore, high-quality raw stones generally do not remain in Myanmar, but are bought by jade merchants from other countries.

Therefore, we can see a very strange phenomenon: Myanmar is the origin of jade, and most of the top-quality jade raw stones come from Myanmar, but it is difficult for consumers to see high-quality jade jewelry in Myanmar.

The jade sold by many merchants in Myanmar is also a natural product, but the quality is not high and the price is not very affordable. After the Chinese people discovered this pattern, they naturally did not want to go to Myanmar to buy jade.

Nowadays, many tour guides will remind tourists not to buy jadeite casually when they arrive in Myanmar. It is a pity. Jadeite could have brought countless tourists to Myanmar, but this advantage has been almost destroyed by some unscrupulous merchants. Some people say that trust is like a piece of flat paper. Once it is crumpled into a ball, no matter how you stretch it, it cannot return to its original state. Once we are deceived once, it will be difficult for the resistance to disappear.

Many people know that buying jadeite with certificates is more secure. This is true, but most of the certificates presented by Burmese merchants are not in Chinese, and it is difficult for us to understand the contents. If you don’t understand it, it’s best not to buy it easily.

Even if we can understand the contents of the certificate, we don’t know much about Myanmar’s jewelry appraisal agencies, so it is difficult for us to know whether the appraisal agency on the certificate is qualified and whether it is an authoritative agency.

There are even some unscrupulous merchants in the market who deceive consumers with identification certificates of unknown origin. Some unscrupulous merchants even think that consumers in other countries cannot understand Burmese language anyway, so they just use a random certificate to get away with it.

What is certain is that 90% of the world’s jade is produced in Myanmar, and most of the top-quality jade also comes from Myanmar. However, this does not mean that Myanmar does not have jade of poorer quality, nor does it mean that what you buy in Myanmar is necessarily natural jade.

Generally speaking, there is almost no advantage for ordinary consumers to buy jadeite in Myanmar. If you are not a real expert, we still do not recommend that you go to Myanmar to buy jadeite. Don't be too superstitious about the origin.
