The secret of jadeite value preservation and appreciation: four types of jadeite should be kept, and four types of jadeite should be thrown away

For most people, the biggest purpose of buying jade is to wear it. If it can appreciate in value, that would be great.

In today's jade market, most jade has no room for appreciation, especially those that cost ten or twenty thousand yuan in shopping malls. You can't expect them to appreciate in value at all, and it's difficult for them to even maintain their value!

Why will jade appreciate in value in the future?

We know that most gemstones can appreciate in value, and the same is true for jadeite. We can explain why jade will definitely appreciate in value in the future from the following four aspects.

First of all, jade should not be damaged, so it is easy to collect;

You should know that even diamonds cannot match jade in terms of pressure-bearing capacity. So don’t worry that jade will rot after you buy it and keep it at home. It can be passed down from generation to generation and inherited for thousands of years!

Secondly, the resources of jadeite are gradually decreasing;

You should know that jade is a non-renewable resource, and nowadays high-end old mine varieties are difficult to mine. Scarcity makes things valuable, which determines the inevitability of jadeite's appreciation.

Again, the uniqueness of the origin;

There are only five places in the world where jade is produced that have some commercial value, and almost all of the gem-grade jade is concentrated in Myanmar. This ensures that the value of jade will not become unstable due to excessive production and unscientific competition.

Finally, the potential value of jadeite.

Most gemstones have standards for judging their value, such as the 4C standards for diamonds. However, there are no specific standards or unified quotations for jadeite.

I believe everyone has heard the saying that gold has a price but jade is priceless, right?

The value of jade is more stimulating and tempting than other gems. Otherwise, how could there be so many legends about gambling on stones? One size fits all, you are rich, one size fits all, you are poor, it all depends on luck.

There are four types of jade. No matter how good the quality of jade is, its appreciation potential is limited.

If you buy the following four types of jade, you will be wasting your money.

1. Failed jade carving

The quality and color of jadeite determine its value base, while the carving determines its value and whether it can be fully excavated.

Good carving can bring jadeite of mediocre quality and color back to life. If the engraving fails, it will fall below its true value. At this point, we can only try our best to mend the situation.

2. Jade with cracks

It is not terrible if jade has flaws, and there is room for rescue if the carving fails. However, if cracks appear, it will be a big problem.

Cracks are fatal to jade because they mean that the firmness of jade has been destroyed, so it is easy to break. Sometimes even if you don't bump into it, it will break into pieces after a long time!

3. “Eggshell” Jade

What is eggshell jade? The jade has coarse grains and little water, so it is not transparent and has no beauty. It is difficult to sell and cannot be sold at a good price.

If you want to sell it, you have to dig hard. If you dig too thin, the material will become transparent and of course it will become eggshell jade. This kind of jade will break if squeezed, so there is no possibility of appreciation.

4. Too much jade carving

There is nothing wrong with carving jade, and it is also a manifestation of art. However, excessive carving has exceeded the normal demand for jade, which is a bit problematic. What does this indicate?

This means that this kind of jade has many flaws, and only through carving can these flaws be concealed, making the jade look like a flawless top-quality product.

Under normal circumstances, craftsmen would be reluctant to use the knife to carve more and would try to use the least amount of knife work to restore the beauty of the jade. Therefore, the more carving is done, the less valuable the jade will be.

What kind of jade has the potential for appreciation?

There is no doubt that jade has the potential to appreciate in value, but not every piece of jade is like this. Do you know which type of jade has the potential to appreciate in value?

1. Good color

This is the essence and prerequisite for whether jade can appreciate in value. Although there are many factors that determine the value of jade, some people only look at this point, that is, the "quality".

"Type" refers to the jade's fine texture, abundant water content and vivid color. This type of jade is rare now, so people's requirements are not as stringent as before. Generally, fine glutinous jade is already very good.

As for "color", no matter what color it is, good jade should have four elements: rich, bright, positive, and uniform.

"Nong" mainly refers to the saturation of color; "yang" refers to the transparency of color; "zheng" means the color is pure and has no other colors; "yi" means the uniformity of color should be uniform.

If a piece of jade has the two major elements of good quality and color, it can be said that it has firmly grasped the ladder of appreciation.

2. If the color is not good, then the characteristics will make up for it

Currently, most of the jadeite on the market is of average quality and color. If this is the case, does it mean that jadeite has no ability to appreciate in value?

Obviously not. If color doesn’t work, make up for it with features. There are two kinds of characteristics here, one is man-made characteristics, and the other is the characteristics of jade itself.

Artificial characteristics refer to the fact that there are many examples in the jade world of turning decay into magic. For example, jadeite has lichen, that is, black spots on its surface. The more black spots there are, the lower its appearance. This kind of jade is usually difficult to have value. However, with the ingenious idea of ​​a craftsman, he turned waste into treasure. His approach is creative in subject matter, and the black spots can also be turned into "beauty moles".

The meaning of having its own characteristics is that the world is full of wonders, and jade also has its own characteristics. For example, jade has figures or landscapes inside, just like amber.

Another example is the characteristics reflected in the base, such as Qingshui jadeite and Blue Water jadeite. There are also three-color jadeite of Fu, Lu and Shou, and even four-color and five-color jadeite. Although they are not full green, their value is no lower than that of full green.

3. If you don’t have enough features, you can make up for it with size.

Many people who love jewelry cannot resist large jewelry. If some gems are one carat larger than similar ones, their appreciation capacity will be more than 100 times lower.

Do you still remember Wang Jianlin’s jade wall? Or the Jade Guanyin enshrined in the temple? These are treasures that collectors are eager to get.

4. If the size is not enough, cut it into a different shape

A full green bean-type pendant may not be very valuable, but a full green formal bean-type jade bracelet is still very popular. This involves the issue of jade cutting shape.

We know that jade egg-shaped faces, bead necklaces and bracelets are the most valuable, among which bracelets are popular styles in the market. Therefore, this type of jade is easy to sell when transferred, and there will be people who will buy it even if the price is increased.

In addition to these objective factors, I personally think that whether jade is worth collecting depends more on whether it conforms to personal aesthetics. As long as you like it, it is worth it.
