In the international market, the price of jewelry and jade has been rising all the way in recent years, and the global transaction volume of jewelry and jade is as high as 250 billion US dollars every year, making it a veritable "sunrise industry". China Guardian, Beijing Hanhai, Huachen and other auction companies have performed well in jade auctions in recent years. The total turnover of Beijing Hanhai jade auction in autumn 2004 was as high as 51449,200 yuan. In 2005, Beijing Hanhai Spring Auction, Yuxiu also set a turnover of 6.5438+0.9 million yuan. Since 2004, Christie's and Sotheby's jade auctions have also achieved remarkable results and attracted people's attention. One of them, a double-eared longevity mug with a ring of fire of Qingganlong and Tianyu, fetched a sky-high price of 19327750 Hong Kong dollars. At Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong in 2007, a set of boxed Dragon Jade and Hetian Jade Banzhi (7 pieces * * *) fetched HK$ 47.36 million, setting the highest auction price for the jadeite Banzhi. People before the Han Dynasty generally called jade jade. Gao Guyu is the source of Chinese jade culture. As long as the reliable high ancient jade is exposed, it will be worth more than one million yuan, and it is also the first choice for powerful collectors. Gao Gu Yu is a scarce resource with high historical and cultural value and cultural relic value. In 2004, at Sotheby's in new york, a jade knife from the late Neolithic period to the Shang Dynasty was sold for $232,000. In the same year, at the Hanhai Spring Auction in Beijing, a Longshan cultural jade was sold for 6.5438+0.65 million yuan, and a Western Zhou jade yellow was sold for 6.5438+0.32 million yuan. In the autumn auction of Hanhai in the same year, a Warring States Shuanglong Huang Yu was sold for 2.09 million yuan. Gao Guqiyu is an evergreen tree in the jade market. With its rich cultural connotation and high artistic taste, it has always been sought after by collectors, no matter how the market changes. Judging from the transaction situation of jade auction in recent years, the transaction rate of jade in Ming and Qing dynasties is generally high, which has become a hot spot in the jade auction market. The reason why jade articles in Ming and Qing Dynasties were sought after by collectors, the insider Luo Ning analyzed: First of all, the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the heyday of jade articles in China. Its jade beauty, exquisite craftsmanship, rich modeling, numerous works and wide application are unprecedented. Jade articles in Ming and Qing dynasties borrowed from paintings, sculptures and other expressions of past dynasties, and integrated traditional techniques, and their works have reached perfection. In particular, the jade articles made in the Qianlong Dynasty are original, excellent in jade materials and exquisitely carved, which is amazing. For example, the Qinggan Longbaiyu Sitting Buddha launched by Beijing Hanhai was sold for 4.95 million yuan, and the Qinggan Longbaiyu Sitting Buddha launched by Sotheby's in Hong Kong was sold for 8.3504 million Hong Kong dollars. Even a small jade brand, as long as the jade material is good and well-made, the auction price can reach hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Secondly, jade articles in Ming and Qing dynasties are relatively new, and most of them are inherited in an orderly way, unlike Gao Guyu, which is old, difficult to distinguish between true and false, and has high investment risks. Furthermore, on the whole, in recent years, the price increase of jade articles in Ming and Qing dynasties has remained between 12%- 18% every year, which shows great appreciation potential. Compared with Gao Guyu, the price of jade in Ming and Qing dynasties is lower. Many collectors tend to choose Ming and Qing jade for the sake of maintaining and increasing value and reducing risks, which makes Ming and Qing jade popular. For China art auction market, this autumn auction presents two obvious characteristics: first, the volume of modern works market has increased significantly; Second, the jade trading is booming, which is in great contrast with the tepid jade market a few years ago. For the analysis of the two characteristics, the industry believes that the former has artificial speculation factors. Although there are signs of speculation in the latter, there are also obvious policy interventions, that is, the state has restricted the mining of Hetian jade mine. As a result, the jade trading in the auction in the second half of this year is obviously better than in previous years or even in the first half of this year. This is a good thing for the art market, because with the lack of raw materials, the market volume of many jade products and even seed materials will be greatly reduced, and the trading forms will flourish. However, in the case of undiminished market demand, it is inevitable that some fake jade or even inferior jade will appear. In this regard, the industry issued a goodwill reminder: in this context, investing in jade needs to be more cautious.
