A jade bracelet worth 5 million was stolen while showing off wealth at the dinner table. How expensive is the jade you wear in your daily life?

Friends around me sometimes ask me, apart from celebrities like Liu Xiaoqing, does anyone really wear jadeite that costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars per piece in daily life? If someone really wears it, aren’t you afraid of being remembered? Is it true that no one would covet these jades?

Regarding this issue, I happened to see some news when I was collecting materials these days. I sorted it out and shared it with my friends. One of the news stories happened last month. On April 22, a man in Xiamen called the police and reported that a jade bracelet worth about 5 million yuan was stolen. The story goes something like this: the man's name is Mr. Guo. He has a string of old pit icy jade bracelets and he came to Xiamen specifically to find a buyer to sell them. Before coming here, Mr. Guo specifically asked someone to estimate the price, which was said to be around 5 million yuan.

At noon on the 21st, Mr. Guo had dinner with a few friends in Xiamen. During the meal, under the influence of alcohol, he took out his bracelet for everyone to appreciate. Amid the envy of the crowd, Mr. Guo became more and more excited as he drank, and finally he was too drunk and went back to his room to rest early. At around 4 p.m. on the 22nd, he woke up and suddenly remembered that he had not put the bracelet away the day before. He ran out but could not find it anymore. Mr. Guo quickly called the police, and upon receiving the report, the police naturally launched an investigation immediately.

According to Mr. Guo's description, the diameter of each bead in his bracelet is about 2.5 cm. The whole bracelet is made of top-quality icy jade and weighs about seven or eight kilograms. Here, some friends may question that it is an exaggeration for a string of ice-type bracelets to cost more than 5 million. No, don't just look at the fact that it is ice type, you also have to look at its size. The market price of an ice type bracelet that usually costs around ten thousand is over one hundred thousand. We often say that when the quality of the jadeite is good to a certain level, the price will at least double for every cent increase. Think about it, Mr. Guo’s beads are as large as 25 mm, which is really rare. It is ten millimeters larger than the beads we usually see, so it is normal for the price to double to five million.

For those who don’t have a clear idea yet, you can think about it this way. Usually, how much does it cost to buy an ice-type Buddha bead that is 20 carats in size and 6 carats thick? This 25mm bead is cut into two Buddha beads in the middle, and both are 10 carats thick. What's more, from the pictures I saw in the news, the bracelet is quite green. (Because the news photo is not clear, it is not released.)

Later, the police checked the surveillance footage and found the suspect. Among the people who came to Mr. Guo that day, a man named Zhu seemed suspicious. On that day, Zhu was carrying a shoulder bag with him. When he left Mr. Guo's house, the shoulder bag was on his back and the strap was tied tightly. In the end, it was confirmed that it was indeed this Zhu who "took away" the bracelet. It really proves the saying: You are showing off your wealth, I am paying attention, and if you are not careful, I will take advantage of you.

There is another news that happened on December 13, 2018. A stranger took his "friend" to see a jade necklace priced at 7 million yuan. During the visit, he asked to take the necklace outside under natural light and asked his "friend" to wait for him. The store owner agreed when he saw that his companion was still sitting in the store. As a result, the stranger took the necklace and left, and never returned when the store owner was not paying attention. After the store owner realized something was wrong, he quickly called the police and discovered that the so-called companion was hired. Finally, the criminal was caught. He was a ruthless man. He took apart the necklace and swallowed dozens of beads. He probably wanted to wait until it was safe before pulling them out...

After I told my friend about these two news stories, my friend said that ordinary people who don’t have many bodyguards around them should not wear expensive jade when going out. Facts have proved that there are really people who would covet these jades, and there are some ruthless people among them, especially the one who swallowed the beads. Although I got the beads back in the end, it's still very torturous to think about wearing this "smelly" necklace in the future. It would be a pity not to wear it, but I would feel somewhat uncomfortable if I wore it.

Taking these two news as an example, if some friends still ask me, is there really anyone who would wear jadeite worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars when going out on the street? Then let me answer you, yes. So would anyone want to steal these jades? The answer is yes. In this bright and clear world, we hope that everyone is open and honest, but there are always some people who have ulterior motives. Therefore, if you really wear expensive jade when going out, you’d better be careful and don’t show it off intentionally. Be careful that you may show it off unintentionally but others may take it as an intention. The last question is, how expensive is the jade you wear in your daily life?
