During the Han Dynasty, wealthy Chinese aristocrats sometimes wore jade robes composed of hundreds of pieces of jade, some of which were even sewed with gold thread. This extravagant gold jade clothing not only shows the status of the deceased, but also shows that ancient people think that jade can prevent the body from decaying. In the following centuries, Chinese culture has formed an indissoluble bond with this smooth green stone. “In the Chinese concept, jade usually means health and longevity,†said Huang Shaoji, managing director of Hong Kong Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group. Yuyi is no longer fashionable. As China becomes more and more affluent, Chinese people’s enthusiasm for jade is also increasing. Credit Suisse estimates that China's 109 million middle class holds a total of 7.3 trillion US dollars in financial assets and real estate. China has more than 2 million millionaires. Considering the above data, it is no wonder that more and more Chinese people are buying luxury goods like jade. Huang Shaoji said that jade sales have experienced double-digit growth in recent years. The demand for jade is almost entirely from China, and the price of high-end jade even exceeds that of gold. In fact, due to the extremely high price of jade, it even attracted the attention of criminals on the other side of the globe. A British criminal gang was recently sentenced to jail for looting jade articles in museums and auction houses. It is estimated that the value of these jade articles in the Chinese auction market is as high as $79 million, but these thieves have never been to China. High price exploration Jade actually refers to two substances that are completely different in chemical composition but have similar appearance. One is jadeite, also known as jadeite, which is all from Myanmar and is more expensive in two types of jade. The other is nephrite, usually from western China, which has been used for a long time before the jade pop. Chinese jadeite with a vintage can sometimes shoot for a high price. Hong Kong's Bonhams auction house recently sold a group of ancient jade for $23 million, dating back to the Neolithic Age. Although these jade articles are indeed expensive, buyers are not investing. “In my experience, no one will use Chinese ancient jade as an investment. This collection market is very professional, very academic and very narrow.†Colin Shef, director of Asian art at Bang Muse Auction House (Colin Sheaf) said. Investors tend to look for more attractive varieties. Jade jewelry is often the ideal choice, and decorative objects are especially sought after. In October last year, Sotheby's Hong Kong auction house sold a Cartier emerald brooch for $930,000. Guo Jinyao, vice chairman of Sotheby's Asia, believes that the high-end market is indeed profitable, but only if you want to know what kind of products to buy. “As with all investment opportunities, you have to choose the right variety,†he said. Variety selection But picking the right variety is not easy, because every jade is different, and the specific value of each jade is determined by art rather than technology. Some laboratories can analyze the chemical composition of jade and determine whether it is chemically treated or whether it is a defective product. But unlike gold, there is no unified “jade price index†that provides a reference for the price of jade. Color is often the most fancy factor for buyers. Jade is almost synonymous with green, and the bright emerald color is still the most sought after. But jade actually has a lot of colors, from blue to purple, to "ice white", the price of the latter has soared in recent years. In addition, buyers value weight, shape, transparency, texture and craftsmanship. For example, Huang Shaoji said that jade bracelets are usually a good investment, because only high-quality rough stones can be processed into jade bracelets. Everything is the same, jade is also the better the quality, the higher the value. In the jade market, auction prices are often the best reference factor. The famous celebrity and famous collector Barbara Hutton's collection of the Hutton-Mdivani Necklace is the highest-priced jade item ever. There are 27 jade beads on this necklace, as well as a series of diamonds and rubies. This jade necklace sold for $27.4 million in 2014, more than six times the auction price 20 years ago. potential risks Under the glamorous high-end market, there is also a black industry worth about $8 billion. Jade is produced in Myanmar and there are serious labor and human rights issues in the local jade mining industry. Therefore, although the United States has removed most of the country’s industries from the sanctions list, it has not lifted sanctions on the Myanmar jade mining industry. There is currently no set of certification procedures that can prove to consumers that the jade they purchased follows humanitarian principles in the mining process. On the other hand, Guo Jinyao pointed out that some of the most respected jade articles have a history of decades or even centuries, and it is almost impossible to trace their sources. Like any kind of investment, the market environment of jade is subject to change at any time. Although there are no shortage of jade lovers around the world, this market is still highly dependent on China's economic growth. However, China's economic growth has slowed down and is currently experiencing the slowest growth phase in 25 years. Even so, if the government's target of 6.5% to 7% is set, it will still bring huge wealth growth to the country every year. In addition, there are other concerns. Many luxury goods have been hit hard in China recently, partly due to the Chinese government's anti-corruption measures – from the decline in Macau's gambling revenues to the slowdown in high-end wine growth, to the slowdown in sales of Tibetan Mastiff and jade, various The reasons behind the problem can almost be attributed to this. Huang Shaoji believes that the government's policy will not affect people's love for jade, because this relationship can even be traced back to the Neolithic Age. He believes that as China becomes more affluent, the Chinese people's enthusiasm for jade will only rise further, and prices will naturally rise.
