Appreciation of 10 times in two years Xinjiang Hetian jade 2011 is not lonely

In recent years, Xinjiang Hetian jade, which has frequently appeared in major auctions and prices have reached a record high, can still create miracles in 2011? The first large-scale Hetian Jade Carving Show held at the Guangzhou Linjiang Business Center yesterday had already received hot news. More than 50 pieces were sold on the day and accounted for one-sixth of the jade products displayed. The price was generally higher than last year. Increase 30%.

Yang Feiwu, president of Guangdong Lingnan Culture and Art Research Association, asserted that Hetian jade market will not be lonely this year. It is conservatively estimated that the price can grow by more than 50%. If it is a fine Xinjiang Hotan seed material jade, the price will probably double again.

Hetian jade appreciation road map

According to the information provided by the Xinjiang Gem and Jade Stone Association, the price of the first grade Hetian white jade seed material in 1980 was 100 yuan per kilogram; it rose to 6,000 yuan in 1995; it rose to more than 10,000 yuan in 2000; and it reached 100,000 yuan per kilogram in 2005. Yuan above. From 2001, Hetian Yu began to make large-scale appreciation. Before 2001, the Hetian jade seed material appreciated between 20% and 30% each year. After 2001, the average annual appreciation value was between 50% and 70%. A good jade article can increase from 2x to 3x each year. Now a seed material bracelet, generally 100,000 yuan. There is a well-known circle of “Golden Sponge” and Hetian jade seed material, two years ago the price is more than ten million yuan, and now more than 100 million, two-year appreciation of 10 times.

Guangzhou collectors snapped up Hetian jade

More than 300 pieces of Hetian jade ware displayed at this time are mainly small and medium-sized pieces, which are particularly suitable for playing and collecting. Many of them have “beautiful materials and skilled workers” and are confined to higher grades. Yangcheng Evening News reporter looked at these slap large jade, the price difference is very large, the minimum 2,000 yuan, almost all Russian materials, the highest nearly million yuan, all the seeds of Xinjiang Hotan, there are some ancient jade, the price is moderate, a few About 10,000 yuan.

The unexpected result of Yang Feiwu was that on the day of the launch, collectors booked nearly one-sixth of the goods, and all they saw were high-value Xinjiang Hetian seeds. Mr. Chen, a collector in Guangzhou, booked 3 pieces worth more than 300,000 yuan. One of the more than 200,000 hectares of Hetian seed bergamot made him addictive.

Mr. Chen said that at the beginning of last year, he saw a glass jade bracelet at an inner jade shop on Dongfeng Dong Road, which cost more than RMB 300,000. At that time, he felt a little expensive and endured his hand. Later, he saw the prices rising sharply. In October last year, he wanted to buy back the goods. The boss told him that he sold 400,000 yuan in the second month. Such a good glass species is now priced at 500,000 yuan. Mr. Chen regrets it, so this is the first time to take the initiative. He estimated that there is still much room for hetian appreciation in the future.

The reporter discovered that not only local collectors have come to scan the goods, but also Beijing residents who are thousands of miles away are patronizing. A 50-year-old Beijinger bought the Jade brand of Hotan seeds for more than 50,000 yuan. He said that the price of Hetian jade in Guangzhou is at least 20% cheaper than Beijing, and about 10% cheaper than the place of production in Xinjiang. "I later asked the experts to understand that the original southerners loved Jade more, and he was not very enthusiastic about Hetian jade. He thought that Hetian jade was white and he didn't look up." The collector believes that the price of Hetian jade in Guangzhou still has room to rise.

Hetian jade is getting harder and harder to find

Yang Feiwu said that Hetian Yu has at least 7,000 years of history in China and is the main body of Chinese jade culture. Hetian jade texture is very delicate, smooth and moist, uniform color, soft as fat. “Guangzhou now understands more and more people of Hetian jade and Hetian jade, but he has a lot of reluctance to sell, and many collectors are reluctant to sell. Good Hetian jade is seriously out of stock.”

“One of the main reasons is that Hetian Yu has been steadily appreciating value in recent years. Although not as straightforward as jade, it also has a 30%-50% increase every year. It is this kind of good appreciation expectation that makes many people reluctant to sell. To a certain extent, he also raised the price of Hetian jade," said Yang Feiwu.

Yang Feiwu told reporters that Hetian jade is not only rising in materials, even the engraver fees are rising. As early as 2001, the monthly salary of a jade carving master was five or six thousand yuan. However, with the emergence of the masters, apprentices, and no successors, the jade salamander's monthly salary has risen to 560,000 yuan in 2005. , And a master can't produce a few works a month. Workers with a higher level of lettering will need 800 yuan to engrave a word on the seeds. It is estimated that the fee for this year's Hetian jade carving will probably increase by about 10%.

special reminder

It is not that Hetian jade has a collection value.

According to reports, Hetian jade is produced in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Russia, South Korea and Canada, and the best quality is produced in Xinjiang. According to the characteristics of its color is divided into white jade, white jade, jade, jade, jade, jasper and other varieties, since ancient times to white jade as the top of Xinjiang's suet white jade is the best. Top grade Hetian jade, its quality, its shape, its work, its indulgence, restrained, exudes unparalleled charm.

In the past, people in Guangzhou favor Xinjiang Hetian jade mainly jade pendants, jade bracelets, waist clasps and other jewelry, among which the sales of jade pendants account for about 80% of the total jewelry sales. In recent years, many people have risen to collect jade seeds, and sales of jade seeds have continued to grow.

“In fact, not all Hetian jade products have appreciated rapidly, and some of Hetian jade products are not high quality. The current price is not very different from three years ago and five years ago. Some of the mountains and Hetian jade products are not as good as Russian white jade. High, so the price does not change much."

Yang Feiwu said that although Qinghai Jade is also a white jade, the texture of Hetian jade is different from that of the mountains. Therefore, the price of its raw materials is almost 10 times that of Hetian jade. If you sell Qinghai jade as Hetian jade, you will deceive consumers. Moreover, Hetian jade is not whiter the better. The real fine Hetian seed material, in fact, there is no Russian white jade is more "white", the more white Hetian jade, the less the composition of jade, the larger the stone content.

“Now some businesses have described the appreciation of Hetian jade as the appreciation of Baiyu, and others have sold other varieties of jade as Hetian jade, and use Hetian jade to rise up and do a trap, stealing the concept of blinding consumers who do not understand.”

For the future market trend of Hetian jade, Yang Feiwu analyzed that in recent years, people have paid more attention to health, and “people raising jade, jade raising people” has indeed made jade articles widely popular in the private sector and has been created as a fashion favorite. Hetian jade will be one of the hottest topics in the global collection community in the next decade.
