Jade spreads a spread 10 times the difference between jewelry trends will not change

In Chinese traditional culture, the big red and green are the symbols of good fortune, and the emerald green jade is given a strong Chinese national culture. Although the origin of jade is in Myanmar, the jade culture is flourishing in China and even exceeds the traditional jade of China – Hetian jade. Jade became the most sought-after jewelry in the Chinese circle and was also recognized by the international market. Today, at the Christie's and Sotheby's International Jewellery auctions, only jadeite can compete with the world's top five precious stones (diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and emeralds).

The trend of jewelry trends will not change

Yangcheng Evening News: The jadeite market has always been in the east, and it is especially loved by people in southern China. Especially since the first two years, some western luxury brands and some well-known designers have begun to use jade in some jewelries. Jadeite seems to have begun its internationalization.

Xiangxian Xian: Emerald jade, no doubt represents traditional Chinese culture, and it is completely different from diamonds representing Western culture. The beauty of diamond comes from its fire color, its high refractive index, and the beauty of jade is from its moist, transparent and moist. The difference between jade and diamonds precisely reflects the difference between Chinese culture and Western culture.

The characteristics of the Chinese people are mainly static, introverted, and conservative. The characteristics of Westerners are mainly dynamic, public, and enterprising. Therefore, since ancient times, Westerners prefer red sapphires and diamonds, while Asians prefer jade. After the cultural exchanges between China and the West, diamonds first became popular in China, and then colored gems emerged among young people in China. With the spread of oriental culture, Jadeite has gradually been favored by some Westerners. But in the big format, there will not be much change, after all, the mainstream things will not change.

"Species" spread ten times worse than the difference

Yangcheng Evening News: It is also a precious jewel. Does Jade's quality assessment have the same grading standards as diamonds?

Xiangxian Xiang: Diamonds are the only gemstones in the world that have uniform grading standards. Although jade does not have the same standards as diamonds, the quality evaluation of jadeite has six elements: species, color, craft, shape (phase), cracks, size, weight . The elements of these six aspects are an organic whole. To evaluate whether a piece of jade is good or bad, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive analysis and evaluation from these six aspects and cannot be separated.

The "species" of the emerald are the most important. Many of Guangdi's jewellery clients are experts in playing jade. Popular with such a line of idioms: "Amateur look and layman look." What is "species"? In fact, it refers to the jade material, which can be divided into: old pit glass species, glass species, ice species, hibiscus species, white-green species (dry white species), bean species (sweet beans, rough beans) and taro species. The “species” is an essential prerequisite for high-grade jade. The jargon says “one, two colors, three techniques” and “low-grade color and high-grade seeds”.

However, people in different regions have great differences in their preferences for different “species”, and different cultures have different understandings of “species”. For example, Yunnan and Taiwan are the most particular “species”. In these regions, the history of playing jade is relatively long. The pursuit of “species” has reached a point where there has been no further increase. The penetration of “species” has become the most important indicator of local jade beauty. .

The “species” are also indicators of scarcity, beauty, durability, and process design. Materials like old pit glass and ice are very rare. Old pit glass species of pure white material, if used to make bracelets, can be sold for 9 million yuan in the first two years. In addition, the “species” are also closely related to the process design. A good ring is often done with the color of jade, and the “kind” in the root is the best and most delicate. In recent years, the prices of ice-free jades have been increasing, and the general price increase has been more than ten times. In the boutique area of ​​Guangdi Jewelry Store, a colorless glass bracelet is currently available at a market price of approximately RMB 10,000. The "species" is one point difference and the spread is ten times.
