"The price of jade is inflated, which is the result of commercial speculation."
We also see many such remarks in peacetime.
Today, let's learn seven truths about the jade market. After reading it, I believe everyone will have a more comprehensive understanding of the value of jade.
Land-producing Yi Chan
The world is so big, but few countries produce jade. At present, there are several countries such as Myanmar, Guatemala, Japan and the United States.
The quality of jadeite produced in a few countries is uneven, and 95% of the top jadeite comes from Myanmar.
At present, Myanmar is still the largest producer of jadeite, so some people call jadeite Burmese jade.
After hundreds of years of mining, some old sites in Myanmar are nearly exhausted, and new sites rarely appear. Anyone who likes jadeite knows that jadeite is a non-renewable resource.
Things are scarce, and the jadeite produced is less and less, but more and more people are snapping up jadeite, and the price of jadeite is naturally higher and higher.
Cost-effective mining
The mining cost of jadeite is extremely high. First, we need to buy mining rights from the mining area, and then we need to invest a lot of manpower and machinery for mining.
In recent years, major mining areas in Myanmar have begun to restrict mining, and many sites have been closed directly.
However, more and more jewelry companies want to mine jadeite, and the competition for purchasing mining rights is becoming more and more fierce.
The mining cost of jadeite raw stone is getting higher and higher. After years of mining, the output of jadeite raw stone is getting lower and lower, and the high-grade raw materials are few and far between, so the price of jadeite jewelry is bound to be higher and higher.
Myanmar-Myanmar initial management system
Earlier, there were rumors on the Internet that Myanmar would block the mining area for three years and stop mining for three years.
Although this news has not been confirmed, it is an inevitable trend for Myanmar to begin to control the mining area locally.
In fact, it is not unreasonable for Myanmar to restrict local mining of jadeite. Over-exploitation has led to large and small mines all over Myanmar, which are devastated everywhere.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Myanmar mining area, a mountain is emptied every six days on average.
Many people will come to Taobao after mining, and they will not let go of any potentially valuable ore. The Burmese government has to control the mining area.
The market supply and demand are unbalanced.
Jadeite is a non-renewable resource. After years of mining, the output has become smaller and smaller.
However, people's living standards have gradually improved, but more and more people are buying jade, and the market is beginning to fall short of demand.
High-grade jadeite jewelry is never sold, and many high-quality jadeite stones are booked and purchased by buyers as soon as they appear.
Self-made materials are of excellent quality.
Jade is sought after by people because of its rarity, but more importantly, it has high ornamental value.
Ice jadeite and glass jadeite are glittering and translucent, while waxy jadeite is rich in color and has a good decorative effect when worn on the body.
In addition, jadeite has high hardness, is not easy to wear, has stable properties, can be preserved for a long time, and is a high-quality investment product and collectible.
Cultural connotation is rich.
In the domestic jade market, every piece of jade has its unique significance. Brave and fearless jade symbolizes wealth, bamboo symbolizes rising step by step, and gourd symbolizes happiness and prosperity. ...
Jade culture in China has a long history. After the exotic jadeite was introduced into China, it was perfectly integrated with our jade culture, which was affirmed by most jade lovers.
Large spacing between ascending values
Consumers who pay attention to the jade market should know that the price of jade has risen almost linearly in recent years, and people call jade "crazy stone".
At present, most jadeites still have a lot of room for appreciation. Jade with high water content, such as ice jade and glass jade, has always been a hot item in the jade market.
