Emerald prices have risen 50 times in 15 years

At the end of June, the jadeite jade plate that had been stagnating for more than a year had come to an end. The “spirited price increase” of the original jadeite jade stone had become the deepest feeling of many jade merchants. A survey by the reporter found that in recent years, the jadeite market has been booming, and its value-added range has far exceeded the prices. Since 2003, mid-range jade has gained several times.

The scarcity of resources, high processing fees, etc., have become the driving force behind pushing up jadeite prices. How will the future jade market go? How do people who watch the currency start? For this reason, the reporter interviewed Ma Xiaotian, the chairman of Jade City's professional jade jewelry brand.

The value-added power of jade is much higher than that of gold: In the past fifteen years of gains, the price of gold has risen five times from 15 years ago, silver has risen about ten times, and jade has increased by an average of 50 times. Tens of years ago, jade bracelets priced at 10,000 were probably sold for about 500,000 yuan.

When it comes to value-added, Ma Xiaotian, chairman of Jade City's professional jade jewelry brand, said with confidence: "Based on my many years of experience, we have conservatively estimated that the value of A goods (natural jadeite) worth more than RMB 5,000 per year will increase by 30%. "A lot of information proves that Emerald is very likely to be the highlight of the next round of investment.

The professional jadeite investment team of Youshang Jade found that in the past five years, the high-end jadeite whose price is in the order of million yuan or more has been found to be extremely expensive, with few purchasers with spending power, and far less room for growth than mid-range jadeite. The price of mid-range jade is within the range of 200,000 yuan to 1 million yuan, which is suitable for the needs of ordinary investors and has always maintained an annual growth rate of two to three percent. This year, the rise of this type of jade is completely out of the past. The price of jade in most cities has doubled before the Spring Festival.

Prior to this, diamonds, crystals, and Hetian jade all experienced major ups and downs, all of which are masterpieces of speculators. Will jade be the same fate?

Jade's added value is inevitable. According to professional jadeite professionals, the formation of jadeite may take up to 100 million years and it is a non-renewable resource. At present, only the gems-grade jadeite production area with a mining scale in the world is only Myanmar. Since the late 1980s, after Burma had nationalized the jadeite mining area, the amount of exploitation was increasing, and resources were exhausted. After recognizing this problem, the government took many restrictions, and the merchants were mostly hoarding at the same time when they took great risks. The price of jadeite naturally went up all the way. The shortage of raw materials will have a greater impact on the mid- to high-end market because the main value of mid- to high-end products is mainly in jadeite itself, and the proportion of manual costs is relatively low, while middle- and low-end products are generally of the same quality with raw materials and clever carving techniques, and the proportion of manual costs is high. This is also the reason why the appreciation of middle and low-end products is slower than that of mid- to high-end products.

“From the original stone to the fine jewelry, the carving master is the most critical and the most expensive part. In the past four or five years, the cost of labor has risen very quickly.” Ma Xiaotian, chairman of the Board of Excellence of Jade, said.
