High-end emerald for long-term collection

Art collection is mostly jade. The market shows that low-end products are vulnerable to price shocks, and high-end jade is suitable for long-term investment collection.

More and more varieties of products are becoming more and more popular. The jadeite market is increasingly prosperous. “Given the preferential activities launched by 11 shopping malls, I bought the jadeite bracelet.” Talking about the shopping history of Golden Week, Ms. Zhou gave her eyes light.

Since she became fascinated by jadeite jade six years ago, Ms. Zhou’s investment in jadeite has also increased year by year. “In Chinese traditional culture, jade is a spiritual accessory, so people who love jade always love to tell the fate of jade. I just saw the bracelet two months ago, but the price is too expensive and I’m not willing to Shot.” ​​Ms. Chou said that on the eve of the double holiday, the counter salesperson revealed to her that during the 11th there will be preferential activities, the discount is still satisfied with her, so early and the salesperson said to be dead, to help her stay.

Ms. Zhou fell in love with jade, in addition to because of love, but also because of jade prices over the years - especially the rising price of jade. According to market estimates, her husband sent her an emerald pendant six years ago. Its value has risen from 8,000 yuan that year to more than 30,000 yuan. In recent years, the rising price of jade has made her excited.

“The jade market—especially the jadeite market is getting hotter and hotter.” said Mu Qiang, deputy secretary-general of the Henan Jewellery and Jade Jewelry Industry Association. On the one hand, from the perspective of the operator, there are more and more jewelers operating jade. Jewelers continue to expand the variety of jade products, and many of the new jewelers began to specialize in jade. On the other hand, from the perspective of consumption, with the improvement of economic conditions, the groups that like jade and invest in jade are also growing.

The more expensive and more expensive high-end emerald appreciation, the price of emerald jade has significantly increased, but the price stratification of high-end, low-end products has become increasingly evident.

“In the past four or five years, the price of high-end jade has risen several times or even tens of times. The jade jewelry, which was priced at several tens of thousands of yuan, has now risen to several hundred thousand yuan in price. This has led to a large number of early-stage stockpiles. Home and investors are profitable,” Mu Qiang said, but at the same time, the price of low-end jade jewelry has not changed much in the context of the warming of the entire jade market. In the same store, the emerald pendant that was priced at about two hundred yuan four years ago will probably not exceed one thousand yuan today. Although the price is doubled, it is lower than the ten-fold increase of high-end jade. The appreciation of jade is undoubtedly much smaller.

In recent years, along with the continuous expansion of the jadeite market demand, the extraction of jadeite raw materials has also been increasing, making jade treasures rarer and rarer, and the high-grade jadeite that can be seen on the market is even less, which makes high-grade jadeite prices As it continues to soar, its gains are among the highest of all kinds of precious stones and collectibles. In many people's eyes, in addition to its irreplaceable unique charm, Emerald has infinite potential for preservation and appreciation.

Since the beginning of this year, the price of jadeite in the retail market has been slightly affected by the economic background. However, investors who are concerned about the jadeite market will find that in the current round of correction, prices have been hit by low and medium-end products. The real high-end jadeite prices have not only not been lowered, but have also risen.

Mu Qiang analyzed that for centuries, Jade has gradually developed into a fashion that will never fade. The value of high-grade jade is basically unaffected by fluctuations in market conditions. Compared with other collectibles, the price of jadeite is more stable and its appreciation is more pronounced.

Collections also need to be gradually upgraded. High-end jadeite is more suitable for long-term collections. “In recent years, there are more and more consumers who like jadeite and jadeite collection. Many people start with medium and low-end jade and have hidden a lot of jade with the same quality. In fact, With the improvement of economic conditions, Jade investors and collectors should also keep up with the times, trade in new products, and upgrade their collections.” Gao Deliang, the provincial jewellery art appraisal division and national jewellery judicial appraiser, reminded that collections also need to be constantly updated. , Like collectors of jade may wish to start upgrading the jade collection at hand.

Gao Deliang analyzed that Chinese people love jade, and the jade culture of the Central Plains has a long history. With the rapid development of China's economy, in recent years, the average appreciation rate of jadeite has been more than 50%, and some jadeite jades with excellent products have appreciated more. Today, more and more investors have chosen to collect jade to preserve value and increase value.

“In contrast, high-end jade is also very suitable for long-term investment.” Gao Deliang suggested that investors who had already purchased some jade jewelry in the previous period may wish to upgrade their collections through market circulation and sales and exchange.

As the market matures, the trend of high-end, low-end and high-end product tiering in the Jade Market will become more pronounced. For those who wish to use the jadeite in hand for collection or as a mass consumer, there is currently a greater appreciation potential of more than 10,000 yuan jade jewelry, and also more collectible value.
