Jade is beautiful and noble, and many people like it very much. There are many jades on the market, but only a few can be called top quality.

The best quality jade is naturally extremely valuable. It is extremely rare and difficult for a piece of jade to become the best quality jade. Today, I will take you to appreciate the 13 most expensive jade products in the world.

1. Star of Zhaoyi

Valuation: RMB 600 million

The all-purple glass jadeite weighs 9,499 carats and is surrounded by nine small flower egg-shaped gemstones of the same colorless glass type.

I heard that it cost more than 4 million to buy this piece of rough jade.

The Zhaoyi Star is surrounded by many colorful gems and looks like a peony, a bit like the fantasy scene of stars and the sun chasing each other.

It is also the largest finished glass-type violet jadeite product to date.

2. The Jadeite Imperial Beads Given by Empress Dowager Cixi to Emperor Guangxu

Valuation: RMB 600 million

At a spring auction in 2015, a string of 108 imperial green jadeite beads from the late Qing Dynasty attracted everyone's attention with a starting price of 180 million yuan.

It is said that it was once the collection of Empress Dowager Cixi, and was later given to Concubine Zhen by Emperor Guangxu, and eventually lost to the public due to the war.

Because of this saying, this pair of court beads is regarded by many as the world's rare "Cixi Jade".

The necklace weighs 342.3g, has a rich imperial green color, and is almost the same size. The largest of them has a diameter of up to 1.2 cm, which is larger than the legendary seven treasures and eight treasures.

The auction house valued it at approximately RMB 600 million, but the necklace ultimately failed to sell. The editor believes that there is a lot of water in it.

3. The Great Wall of the Emperor

Valuation: RMB 560 million

This is the finest jadeite displayed by Hong Kong jewelry artist Chan Sai-ying at the 26th Paris Antiques Biennale.

The design of this jade necklace is inspired by the Great Wall architecture, and is paired with top-grade imperial green jade, making it full of Chinese characteristics.

The work is made of top-grade imperial jadeite main stone (37.45*30.43 mm). It was valued at HK$560 million (RMB 437 million), setting a record for the highest price of jewelry at the exhibition at that time.

4. Green Boy Guanyin Ornament

Transaction price: RMB 447.6 million

On December 15, 2012, at the Guangdong Poly Winter Auction, this full green jadeite Boy Guanyin was sold for RMB 447.6 million, setting a new record in the world jadeite auction history.

The total weight of the entire jade carving is 7750 grams, and the dimensions are 30 cm × 19 cm × 11 cm. It is full of water and has exquisite craftsmanship. According to the evaluation of professional departments, the quality grade is treasure level three.

As early as August 7, 2011, at the Poly Summer Art Auction, this piece had already appeared in the eyes of many collectors.

At that time, it was sold at a sky-high price of 145.6 million yuan. A large number of media outlets reported it, causing a temporary shock in the collecting community.

A year later, this item appeared again at Guangdong Poly Auction House, and the final transaction price was 474.6 million. In just one year, it tripled.

The speed at which jadeite appreciates in value is jaw-dropping. A capital of nearly 150 million yuan can increase to 474.6 million yuan in one year. I believe that even those working in the real economy cannot catch up.

5. Peerless Beauty

Valuation: RMB 300 million

The peerless elegance necklace consists of 9 glass-type imperial green jadeite cabochons and 204 diamonds with a total weight of 41.58 carats.

The 9 jade egg-shaped surfaces are all top-grade glass-type jade, with delicate and lustrous texture, rich and even color, bright and gorgeous, round and full texture without a trace of impurities. The light penetrates through the bottom of the stone, and the stone glows brightly and crystal clear. It is a rare treasure among emeralds that is rarely seen in a century.

6. Jade 42-armed Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Guanyin

Transaction price: RMB 230 million

On August 13, 2013, at the special auction of jade carving masters' works at the first Yunnan Cultural Expo, the natural jade "Forty-two-armed Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Guanyin" that the famous Taiwanese carving master Hong Fushou had spent five years to complete was sold to Mr. An from Macau for RMB 230 million, becoming the most expensive item at the auction.

The appraisal report dated September 9, 2014, gave a reference price of US$600 million. Of course, I personally do not agree with the valuation of 600 million US dollars.

7. The Hutton-Mdivani Necklace

Sold for HK$212 million

At Sotheby's "Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite Jewelry" spring auction in Hong Kong, the natural jadeite necklace (The Hutton-Mdivani Necklace) formerly owned by legendary socialite Barbara Hutton was sold for HK$214 million, which was equivalent to RMB 189 million based on the exchange rate at the time.

The jadeite bead necklace is made of the most precious Burmese old pit glass-type imperial green jadeite, and is composed of 27 jadeite round beads (each with a diameter ranging from 15.4 to 19.2 mm) strung together.

The beads are rich in color, crystal clear, and are all made from the same original stone. They are a rare treasure in the world.

Experts estimate that the price of each jade bead is around 1 million RMB.

8. Glass-type Yang Green Jade Bracelet

Valuation: RMB 200 million

The sky-high-priced jade bracelet exhibited at the Shanghai Exhibition Center in 2013 is said to be worth 200 million yuan. The picture below is the one that is known as the most expensive jade bracelet in history.

This bracelet is made of top-grade full-green glass-type jadeite with a warm and delicate texture. The entire bracelet is rich green, the color is very uniform and pure, and the shape is full and round. It is undoubtedly the best of the best and is extremely rare.

Because it is extremely rare, it is only for display and not for sale.

9. Top-grade old pit jadeite Guanyin

Valuation: RMB 120 million

Jade Guanyin is the crystallization of traditional oriental culture and an important part of the origin of world Buddhist culture. In Chinese folk culture, the Jade Guanyin is enshrined in many temples.

But have you ever seen the top-grade old mine jade Guanyin worth 120 million?

Hong Kong actress Linda Chung attended the opening ceremony of the China Arts National Jewelry Exhibition and made her final appearance wearing a natural jadeite Guanyin jewelry set.

It is said that the entire set of jade is worth 330 million, and the jade Guanyin alone is valued at 120 million.

10. Full green jadeite beads

Transaction price: 106.2 million

The beads were sold for 106.2 million yuan at the Tiancheng Auction House's autumn auction in 2011.

The entire string of beads is made up of 23 full-green jadeite beads with diameters ranging from 17.35 to 20.71 mm. Each bead has uniform color, round shape, fine texture and plump shape.

11. Imperial Green Square Card

Sold for HK$103.5 million

The lot of the 2011 Beijing Yirong Autumn Auction is a large square glass-type jadeite plaque, with dimensions of 4.79×3.2×1.45cm and a total weight of 92.90g (including diamonds).

It is a rare "imperial color", which is mellow and majestic, showing a generous and rounded state. The transaction price was HK$103.5 million.

This brand has excellent color, type and water content, fine crystals and good transparency. As far as jade is concerned, if it is too thick, it will inevitably have color cast and dissipate its charm, and it will easily give off a spiritual aura.

But this rare large square glass plaque with full colors is an exception, and it wins by its thickness and mellowness. The shape is simple, thick but not clumsy, profound and rich, and has a sense of luxurious beauty.

The color is bright and mellow, yet not stagnant, with a hint of charm in the atmosphere.

Open the 18K white gold diamond-studded base, and you can see a band of vivid green rippling like waves through the light...

12. Glass peace bracelet

Estimated value: RMB 90 million

In 2012, a jade bracelet priced at 90 million yuan was publicly exhibited at the Second China Yunnan Kunming International Jewelry Exhibition.

This is a flat glass bracelet, also known as a peace bracelet. It is quite transparent as a whole and it glows slightly under the light.

Although the bracelet is not completely green, the green color of this bracelet seems to have a fairy air floating in it, and the more you look at it, the more charming it becomes.

It is both transparent and elegant, making people feel refreshed. Even in slightly dim light, you can still feel its compelling aura.

13. Soong Mei-ling's twisted bracelet

Estimated value: HK$40 million

In the 1930s, Beijing jade king Tie Baoting bought a piece of jade rough material, and then processed and carved it into a pair of bracelets with novel designs, bright jade and rich emerald green.

Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Shanghai Green Gang, bought it and gave it to Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Soong May-ling, who loved it very much.

In 1997, Soong May-ling was seen wearing this pair of bracelets at her 100th birthday party.

Soong Mei-ling's jade twisted bracelet is very pretty and rare, and it is said to have been very valuable at the time.

In the 1990s, someone in Hong Kong estimated its value at 40 million Hong Kong dollars. The reason why the editor put it among the most expensive jadeite is that although the value of this pair of jadeite bracelets has increased many times today, it is definitely among the best.

The above are the 13 most expensive finished jade products in the world summarized by the editor. As the times are developing, miracles are always happening. I believe that there are many less well-known noble jades whose value has now surpassed the above treasures. If you know of any, please leave a message.
