Easy to get gold, fine turquoise hard to find

The function of keeping gold in gold has kept the investment temperature of gold high, jade investment is different from gold investment, and sometimes it is easy for gold and jade to find. Turquoise slowly appreciated in the pursuit of many niche collectors.

Compared with the traditional Hetian jade and jadeite, the new stone source is tense and the old goods market is favored. Compared with the traditional jade and jade, the turquoise collection is relatively small. Although the price increase is not as rapid as the former, it has also been rising since 2007. Affected by the closure of Hubei in 2010, the price of turquoise rose this year, and due to the tight supply of “new goods”, the “old turquoise” on the market was favored.

"The 'new goods' are quality appraisals and then sold by g, basically similar to the valuation methods of Hetian jade stone and Jade original stone, but there are turquoise ornaments or ornaments of the ornament and the age. This is not the case." Lin Si, senior jade collector He told reporters that although Turquoise is regarded as a "niche" in miscellaneous items, the cultural value attached to it as a "sacred object" in Tibetan Buddhism in China has attracted the attention of many collectors in recent years. "The turquoise ornaments have risen in recent years, but they have not been taken into account by 'hot money'. Therefore, the increase is not significant. It should be a good time for investment."

For Lin Si, the collection of old turquoise is obviously more profitable than that of the new turquoise. A glossy pendant of old turquoise material, he used only 500 yuan in the collection in 2003, in February of this year, and "Yuyou". The exchange price reached 6,000 yuan. The price of new Turquoise in 2007 is about 80 to 100 yuan per gram, and this year's price is only around 200 yuan per gram, although the increase rate is relatively large, but the increase is still too small compared with other jade. “The old turquoise pendants with Tibetan ornamentation and texts are rising even more, and they are rare in the low-end collection market. Therefore, the new stone antiques also have a lot of phenomena, so we must pay attention to them.” Lin Si said.

The price of fraudulent overflowing boutique turquoise was higher than that of gold reporters visiting the collection market. Although the turquoise ornaments at the auction frequently hit a high price of millions, there is no shortage of such stones called “turquoise” in the market. And among various turquoises, the colors, textures, and impurities are all different. The beads of a so-called "turquoise" material are only a few tens of yuan, and the colors are mainly blue-green, and these colors are unique to high-quality turquoise.

It looks like a brilliant blue, and like the natural turquoise, there are "iron wires" in the crevices, and the price is cheap. It appears on the market... There are collectors telling reporters that these are synthetic turquoises. Currently, they are domestic. The turquoise market is relatively confusing. Many of these synthetic turquoises are used for jewelry and apparel processing, and there are also cases in which beads, hand-pieces, pendants, ornaments, etc. are made to sell as natural turquoise. Compared with the turquoise produced in Hubei and other places in China, these synthetic turquoises are bluish in color and are dyed with stones.

Turquoise's performance in the international market is clearly superior to the domestic market, just as colored gemstone collections have been tepid at home. In the international market, the top "blue porcelain pine" can be compared with gold. The low-priced blue turquoise that appears on the domestic market is mostly counterfeit.

Variety is difficult to distinguish novice players into the market need to be cautious exactly what kind of turquoise is worth collecting? Collection of turquoise should have what requirements? Can you determine the authenticity of turquoise by virtue of the certificate? This is a question for novice players entering the turquoise collection market.

The staff of the Jewelry Appraisal Center stated that there are not many turquoise identifications available at present, and that the identification of jewelry can only be identified as “turquoise”. This identification can only prove that it is a natural, not synthetic, ore, but it cannot be obtained. The conclusion of "collectible value". Because of the large number of types of pines, the market price varies greatly, and it is difficult to determine its value simply by using a paper authentication certificate.

The “American Pine”, which is more popular in the jewelry industry, is more blue and green in color, and will be brighter after being polished and purified, becoming the new darling of fashionistas. However, experts in the collectors community also reminded consumers that this American pine has a large output, a low density, and has no collection value. At present, the domestic turquoise collection is best produced in turquoise in China. Because of fear of fear of alkali, turquoise is not suitable for long-term play, otherwise it will appear discoloration and other phenomena. And because the texture is relatively brittle, carving is not easy, and hard objects should be prevented from colliding, and the beautifully carved and older turquoise is more valuable.
