Emerald of the Snake is expected to reproduce the rise

Jade is a type of jade. The ancients believed that Jade was a stone in heaven and could bring good luck. Crystal clear jade has always been a favorite for collectors and investors. However, since reaching the high point at the beginning of 2011, the emerald price got a “roller coaster” last year, which made investors suddenly lose their mind. This year, how will the jadeite market "go"? Collectors believe that there may be "increase" this year.

“Last year, the price of medium- and low-grade jade in the interior of China increased by 30% to 50%, and some high-grade jadeite even rose 5-10 times. But then the severe crash also made me fresh in my memory. To the level of two years ago.” In 2012, the price of jadeite can be described as a roller coaster that generally rises and falls, making Zhang, the owner of the jadeite business, lose a lot of money.

Zhang boss still remembers that at the beginning of last year, he got goods in Burma, a pendant with fineness, and the supplier’s asking price was 60,000 yuan. “The price was still going up when I caught up, and I got a few things.” Unexpectedly, In the sales market for half a year, the specifications and water heads were all similar, but they all sold for less than 60,000 yuan. "In order to keep things in their hands, they had to sell them cheaply."

Dozens of years of jade business, this kind of market, Zhang boss was the first time to run into, and it is not only him who has the same feelings, Mr. Zeng, member of the Fujian Collectors Association also said that the price of jade in the low end has dropped Half of them, and buyers who started to buy goods are also a lot less, everyone is watching, for fear that just bought it and then cut prices.

“People who didn’t know anything before went on to call high prices at the auction, and the Jade market had a false boom.” Mr. Zeng analyzed that the overall economic situation in 2012 was weak, and off-market investors rushed to sell off, which catalyzed the sharp drop in jade prices. "But the good thing has been rising prices."

Although the price is fluctuating, as a type of collection that has attracted much attention, the investment value of Jade is consistently affirmed by the industry.

Mr. Zeng read a set of data for the Herald reporter. Since 2012, jade, which is Myanmar’s second-largest export product, has reduced production by 10,439 tons in this financial year, and its export volume has also dropped significantly. The battlefield of Kachin, Burma, is now the birthplace of Burma's main jadeite stone, and jadeite production accounts for about 90% of the world's total.

“It seems that the price of jade will probably rise again this year.” The above-mentioned boss Zhang believes that with the gradual improvement of the economy this year, the jade collection will also be revisited, and the Myanmar government will ban the export of jade stone. Become an important factor to promote its price increase.

However, if you want to invest in jade, you have to choose the right thing and want to invest in long-term investment. Ding Jiannan, executive vice president of the Fujian Collectors Association, said that as we all know, jadeite is a non-renewable resource, and due to the over-exploitation in recent years, the jadeite with a top quality texture is already running out, and popular words in the jadeite collection industry: “High-end Emerald is only the last 30 years.” Because of this, the “old pit” high-end emerald has become one of the boutiques, and the color of the emerald is varied. There are three colors on the emerald and it is also worthy of the collection.
