Buying jade depends first on the material, whether it is real jade or not. If it is real jade, it depends on the origin, whether it is Xinjiang jade or Qinghai jade, Russian jade or Han Guoyu, dushan jade or xiuyan jade.
Look at the age, whether it is ancient jade or new jade. If it is an ancient jade, it depends on whether the carved symbols are out of date. If it is a new jade, it depends on how the jade carver was carved by the master. You must be calm when buying it.
Matters needing attention in purchasing jadeite:
The whiter the better-white jade mainly refers to white nephrite containing more than 95% amphibole, mainly produced in Hotan, Xinjiang. Hetian jade has become the darling of the collection because of its white and moist temperament. However, some collectors blindly seek white jade. As long as they see white jade, they think it is Xinjiang white jade and pay for it.
In fact, white jade is not only Hetian jade, but also Qinghai jade, Russian jade, Korean jade and beige jade, and the prices of these kinds of jade are quite different from Hetian jade.
The older the better-the price of ancient jade has hit record highs in the auction, especially the dried dragon jade, which makes some people only recognize ancient jade and think that ancient jade has more room for appreciation than new jade. In fact, this should be looked at comprehensively. If there is no good theme and historical connotation, the value of ancient jade may not be higher than that of new jade, and the works of some modern jade carving masters have also hit record highs.
What's more, there are many imitations of ancient jade in the market, such as Yulong in Hongshan Culture, Yulong in Longshan culture, Jade Cong in Liangzhu, Jade Bi and Jade Sword ornaments in Han Dynasty. , have a high level of fraud.
Be eager for quick success and instant benefit, and fall into the trap of the story-some friends are eager to buy their favorite jade when they see it in the market. Merchants seized the opportunity, embellished it and fabricated a story, which made people mistakenly think that this piece of jade was well-founded, with allusions and great appreciation potential. If you don't buy it, you will lose money, which will lead to buyers paying for it when their minds are hot. Although the trick of making up stories can only deal with some "novice" buyers, such things are still common.
