Isn't jade just a stone? Why sell it so expensive, can't it be cheaper?　　 But the reality is that the merchants also want to sell you jadeite cheaply, but they can't sell it! ! Then why can't the merchant sell you jadeite cheaply? 1. The uniqueness of the origin There are several countries producing jade in the world, such as Myanmar, Guatemala, Japan, and the United States. There are many origins, but there are few gem-grade jadeites. 95% of the gem-grade jade in the jade market comes from Myanmar.　　　　 Also, due to hundreds of years of mining, there have been very few new openings in Myanmar's production areas, and the resources of the old ones, which are rich in high-grade jade rough stones, are also close to exhaustion, such as the Pakant field.　　　　Second, high mining cost 　　　　 The main two aspects of jade mining cost are the need to purchase mining rights from the Myanmar government, and the second is the labor and mechanical costs of mining. In recent years, with the policy restrictions of the Myanmar government, many sites have been closed, and many mining companies have already withdrawn from the mining area. In addition to the increase in machinery and labor costs, mining costs continue to increase. The output of jadeite rough is getting lower and lower, and the price is It can only increase, not decrease. 3. Rough stone is highly gambling. Due to large-scale repeated mining, the output of jade rough is getting lower and lower. The high-end raw materials are already rare. The lower output leads to greater gambling of jade. If you want to produce good jade, Often more money needs to be invested. 4. Large market demand. Large market demand is particularly evident in high-end jadeite.

Even if the jade market is currently low, high-end jadeite Don't worry about buyers, the sky-high rough prices sold in Myanmar's public market a few days ago fully illustrate this point. 5. Cultural background The development of any kind of jewellery and jade cannot exist without the cultural background of a country. China is a country with a history of jade culture. There was an ancient saying that 'a gentleman is better than jadeIt is an embodiment of elegance. Jade culture evolved to jade culture and became the highest level of jade development. Wearing jade and collecting jade is also a unique embodiment of Chinese culture in the world. 6. Jadeite's own advantages Jadeite naturally has beautiful colors and excellent wearing effect; high hardness, not easy to wear; transparent texture, strong practicability; stable properties, can be stored for a long time, so whether jadeite is used for wearing or storing , Are good choices. 7.

Although jade belongs to the field of jade, it can span the field of jewelry. It can be made into traditional jewelry to wear, or It is made into ring egg noodles like gems, and can also be used for inlays. No matter what the subject matter, as long as the craftsmanship is exquisite, the artistic value is very high. The particularity of jadeite is reflected in the fact that it can span two areas of jewelry and jade.
