Jade prices skyrocket across the board crazy 99% of amber on the market is fake

The price of jade has doubled in a year and the price of tourmaline has gone up eight times in five years. Huang Longyu, who was worthless in the past, has risen ten thousand times in price in a few years... The jade art market led by Shoushan Stone, Hetian Yu and Jadeite have recently The price skyrocketed across the board. Under the general situation of inflation expectations, many people have invested jade as a safe haven for wealth. The Yangcheng Evening News reporter learned yesterday from Guangdi jewelry that the number of jewels sent by the city has been greatly increased in the past two years, but more than 50% of the jewelry jade is false. In particular, the three types of jade, such as tourmaline, Shoushan stone, and amber, which have seen sudden surges in prices in the past two years, have the highest percentage of people identified as false due to insufficient awareness. According to experts, 99% of the ambers currently on the market are fake.

Guangzhou jewelery is cheaper than Beijing and Shanghai in the past two years. The price has gone up the most crazy. At the Guangzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Headquarters, an emerald bracelet that sold for 30,000 yuan last year is now priced at 65,000 yuan. In Guangzhou Hualin Jade Street, the largest jadeite distribution center in China, the price increase of jadeite has been unprecedented in the past two years. Jade dealer Zeng told reporters: “The price of jadeite has been rising year after year, but in previous years it was a constant increase, with an average annual increase of about 30%. The price of jadeite last year was a jump. Each time you go to stock, you will find that the price has gone up a lot. When we get a price we want to break our head. We don't know if it's time to hold down the goods and not wait for higher prices."

The price of ordinary jade has doubled in a year, and the quality of the fine jade has risen by more than 300%. The top jade goods can be found. To be optimistic about the scarcity of jade, in the general situation of inflation expectations, many people have replaced the fixed deposits in their savings books with a small piece of jade. In Guangdong Province Guangdi Jewelry Company, there was a big customer in a few days. A customer a few days ago shot more than 300 million, bought three top jade. Liang Muzhou, the deputy general manager of Guangdi Jewelry, also stated: “The fastest appreciation is surely to be the tip of the pyramid and the top thing.”

Outside of jade, the jewels most invested by the people are diamonds. In Guangdi Jewellery, nearly 80 bare-bones diamonds were sold last year. Just after August of this year, sales of bare diamonds have exceeded last year. Although CEO Xu Lei, a diamond bird, faced a large number of investors every day, the purchasing power of Lao Guang surprised him: “Last time I went to the store for inspection, I came to a middle-aged couple in my 40s and wore slippers. The clothing is also very simple, but a shot is a 1.7-carat, flawless E-color drill, which costs as much as 330,000 yuan. After the purchase of this stone, the gentleman immediately picked up a D-colored large drill for his wife, but also 13 Ten thousand yuan. Two diamonds are nearly 500,000 yuan, and the two customers are not buying anything. The consumption power of Laoguang Diamonds is surprising."

Even so, but Hou Yiyu, General Manager of Guangdi Jewelry, said in an interview with the Yangcheng Evening News reporter: “Compared to Beijing and Shanghai, Guangzhou’s purchasing power is still a lot worse, so the price of jewelry in Guangzhou is much higher than in Beijing. Shanghai is significantly cheaper. It sells more than 1 million yuan worth of jade in Guangzhou and can sell 6 million yuan in Beijing and Shanghai."

Who is the next "Huanglong Yu"?

But the skyrocketing price has stopped the jadeite and diamonds. In recent years, the entire jade art market has been full of madness. The most legendary is Huang Longyu. Since its inception in 2004, in just 7 years, from a few cents a pound has skyrocketed to more than a million pounds, and the rapid rise is amazing. Every three months, businessmen who have sold jade will take a short walk and are willing to spend several times more money to buy it back. Huang Longyu set a price rise miracle in the history of Chinese jade in 6 years and became a favorite in the collection.

The tourmaline, Shoushan Stone, and amber have sprung up in the past two years. Take tourmaline as an example. Xiao Yu, which was not known to the general public in previous years, "has suddenly risen at least 8 times in the past five years." In Guangdi jewellery, a string of tourmaline bracelets cost three or four thousand dollars a few years ago. Now the cheapest one is 10,000 yuan, and the material is a little better. The material used as a ring face was once a thousand dollars, but now it is at least a few tens of thousands, and there are also a lot of 100,000 and 80,000 yuan. "Our most expensive product has sold 260,000 yuan," Hou Yu-yu said.

Guangdong is not a large jade producing province. There are three kinds of indigenous jades, namely Taishan jade, southern jade, and Guangning jade. There are also many other small jade species in China, although Huang Longyu, Shoushan Stone, and Hetian jade have been in recent years. The rise in water is high, but the price is still relatively low. Who may become the next "Huanglong Yu"?

This question, it is estimated that no one can give a conclusive answer. Hou Yuyu also stated: “In general, the 'potential shares' that have not been noticed have appreciated the most. To become a potential stock such as Huang Longyu must meet three conditions: one is resource, and it must be scarce; the other is beautiful. , It is ornamental; Third, it has cultural value and can be accepted by the public."

“In the past few years, I was optimistic about tanzanite. Although prices have indeed increased several times in recent years, compared to other gems, the deep blue color of tanzanite is not favored by most Chinese people, and it is a country like red and golden. The color is 'sophisticated, so the increase is not too much.' And in the international market, tanzanite is popular, the heart of the ocean on the Titanic, is a tanzanite weighing more than 40 carats.

"Instead, a group of red, yellow, and purple jades that we consciously bought seven or eight years ago. These warm-colored jadeites cater to Chinese people's aesthetics, so sales are very good and prices have gone up a lot, making big profits for the company. A stroke."

The inspection of Yushi Chaochao is a false price increase for fake jewellery and jade. In the past two years, the buying population has grown rapidly. The reporter from Yangcheng Evening News learned from Guangdi jewelry that the number of jewels sent by the city in the past two years has also greatly increased, but more than 50% of them are false. Hou Yuyu told reporters: “In particular, the three types of jade, such as tourmaline, Shoushan stone, and amber, which have seen sudden surge in prices in the past two years, have the highest percentage of people identified as false because of their low awareness.”

Take tourmaline as an example. The tourmaline sold on the market generally bears ice cracks. This is the structural feature of tourmaline, but it affects the luster of tourmaline. Therefore, in order to cater to the customer's demand for appearance, some businesses use high pressure to inject glass glue into the cracks. In this way, though the tourmaline's gloss is high, the value is greatly reduced.

The most expensive Shoushan Stone should be produced in Fujian, but now many businesses take Shoushan Stone in Bahrain, Inner Mongolia, and Fujian Shoushan Stone in Zhejiang Province. In fact, their value is very different. In general, the hundreds of thousands of yuan of Zhejiang Shou Shoushan stone, if it is produced in Fujian, then the value of at least 10 million yuan. “This is similar to the case of Hetian jade. The price of Hetian jade seed produced in Xinjiang is five times that of Russian materials, ten times that of Qinghai materials, and more than 15 times that of South Korean materials.”

"The falsity is amber, and 99% of the amber on the market are false." One of the counterfeiting methods is to use polyester to counterfeit amber, and secondly to crush the crushed amber to make a big amber.

In order to meet the citizens' need for authenticity, Guangdi Jewelry will hold a free trial of treasure on September 8. The invited experts from the state-level cultural relics are Li Yuchun, Xie Haishan, and Pan Minghuan. Apart from jewellery and jade, the public will collect Calligraphy, antiques, ceramics and other collections can be easily identified by experts.
