Jewels and jades become the new favorite of investment
In the current global currency over-issue and the context of inflation, there were many reasons why jewelry and jade became the new favorite of investment. First of all, jewelry and jade did not have a depreciable rate. In fact, the older they were, the more valuable they were. They had the property of beating the rate of inflation. For example, Hetian jade had a 30% - 50% appreciation rate every year. A jade bracelet that someone bought for 8000 yuan three years ago was now worth more than 13,000 yuan. Secondly, the scarcity of high-quality resources drove up the price of jewelry and jade. Taking colored gems as an example, they were scarce and unique. They were non-regenerative resources. As the amount of mineral deposits decreased, the output decreased, and the mines were closed, their value would continue to be reflected. The space for price increases would increase. Even a small carat colored gem had investment value. In addition, jewelry investment was relatively stable. Except for a few periods where jade, tourmaline, and amber had a steep price rise curve, the overall trend was rising. Generally, after more than three years of collection, there would be about 50% to 100% appreciation. Moreover, it was less affected by currency inflation. The price basically changed with the international market and could be kept as a value-added asset. In addition, in China, as the market became more transparent and the barriers to entry became lower, small and medium-sized investors also joined the ranks of investing in colorful treasures. In foreign countries, the private banking department had long provided financial services such as colorful treasure investment for high-end customers. Moreover, young people in their 30s and 40s were now investing in jewelry and jade collections. This group of people had become powerful buyers, pushing jewelry and jade to become the new favorite of investment. Read more exciting novels for free

Jewels, jades, jadeite, inlaid processing
Jewelry embedding was a complicated and delicate process, and the embedding of jade was no exception. The first was the design stage. The designer had to draw up the design drafts. This process required many factors to be considered, such as novelty, uniqueness, fashion, elegance, high-end atmosphere, material craftsmanship, bare stone matching, brand concept, designer's style, and expression of the central idea. During this period, it might require many exchanges with the client before the final draft could be finalized. The next step was to carve the wax plate. If it was a hand-carved wax plate, the craftsman had to refer to the design drawings to carve the wax plate. The wax plate had to be smooth and flawless, have a reasonable structure, and the position and size of the inlaid gemstones were accurate. It could also be done with a computer. Then, there was the reverse mold, which could be used to cast the lost wax. If it was mass produced, there would be a different operation process, including planting wax trees, pouring plaster, baking plaster, casting, blasting and cleaning the plaster mold, cutting the casting, and so on. The molding process was all done by hand, using a special calendar knife to push back and forth on the surface of the jewelry. According to the design of the jewelry, the diamonds or jade that matched the color, cut, and size were hand-sorted. After that, it was time to embed the gemstone. This was an important step to test the craftsmanship of the master. For the embedding of jade, different embedding techniques had different characteristics and applications: - Claw setting: Use metal claws to fasten the gemstone. There are two types of single and group setting, which can maximize the beauty of the gemstone. The metal rarely covers the gemstone and can highlight the optical effect of the gemstone. - Nail embedding: Using small nails on the side of the gem to fix the gem. It is mostly used for the secondary stone embedding in the group embedding. The metal claws that fix the gem cannot be seen, but the gem can be tightly arranged in the metal groove. - Encasement: Encircle the gemstone with a metal edge. It is mostly used for larger or arched gemstones. This method is the most stable and can show the gemstone's light, peace, and dignified temperament. - Force-setting: The slot is made on the side of the inlaid opening, and the gem is placed in the slot to be firmly pressed. This method is commonly used for high-quality gemstones and high-grade secondary stones with high craftsmanship requirements. Some square and ladder-shaped gemstones are inlaid with this method. - Stuffed setting: Extruding a circle of metal around the edge of the setting and pressing the gemstone. It is mostly used for small gemstones. It will enlarge the visual effect but will cover part of the gemstone. - Wax setting: The gem is set in a wax model before casting, and the wax model is finally melted to form the finished product. It is relatively simple and is often used to set white stones and crystals. After that was polishing and electro-gold treatment. The metal surface and details were further polished. Some jewelry needed electro-gold treatment to make their surface smoother. Finally, it was the quality inspection stage. The finished jewelry was inspected. Those that did not meet the standards had to be returned to the previous process to be remade. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Jade has become a new hot spot for collection and investment
There were the following main reasons why jade became a new hot spot for collectors and investors: ** 1. Cultural Value ** 1. ** The influence of traditional ideas ** - Confucius 'concept of "a gentleman is more virtuous than jade" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In China culture, jade symbolized good moral character. This cultural implication made jade objects revered since ancient times. At auctions, good jade objects were often sought after by the audience, and the price was constantly raised. 2. ** Diverse collection concepts ** - With the development of the times, the concept of collectors had changed, and the objects of collection in the jade market had become more diverse. Although high ancient jade and Ming and Qing jade had been the focus of attention in the past, the exquisitely crafted modern jade had also attracted the interest of collectors. ** 2. Market Value ** 1. ** Scarcity of raw materials ** - The raw materials for jade were getting lesser and lesser, and it was getting harder and harder to buy good ancient jade. This scarcity caused the price of jade to rise. As long as it was genuine jade, the price would only rise and not fall, attracting many investors. 2. ** Diverse investment categories ** - Jade collections could be roughly divided into three categories: high ancient jade, Ming and Qing jade, and modern new jade. Although high ancient jade was risky (there were many imitations, and the raw materials might be local jade with low value), it was very attractive to collectors who could distinguish between authenticity and authenticity. If the Ming and Qing jade was good, even if it was a new imitation, the jade itself had a certain value. Modern jade was moderate in price, easy to collect, simple to maintain, relatively easy to identify, and had great appreciation potential. 3. ** High Potential Revenue ** - If he collected fine jade, whether it was ancient jade or modern jade, there was a lot of room for appreciation. For example, high-quality jade, rare varieties and colors were becoming less and less, and long-term investments could double the returns. Jade bracelets with good color and water quality belonged to the collection level, which also indicated the value of high-quality jade in the collection investment market. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Porcelains, jades, jades, jewelries, models and specifications
For jadeite, its size was usually measured in millimeters. Different types of jadeite jewelry had different considerations in terms of size specifications. For example, when choosing a jade pendant, it had little to do with the thickness, but it paid more attention to color, water, workmanship, etc. When choosing a bracelet, in addition to paying attention to the wide face, the thickness was also very important. If it was too thin and too thin, it would be easy to break. Under the same wide face, the greater the thickness, the more expensive it would be. The largest number in the size of the jade egg face was usually the length rather than the thickness, and its thickness should be suitable for the length and width. The shape of the water drop and egg face was generally not too thick. As for jade, different jade articles had different size. For example, the 18th century white jade seahorse with skin was 13 centimeters long, the Eastern Han white jade unicorn was 5.5 centimeters wide, the Ming yellow jade lying dog was 24 centimeters long, the Western Zhou jade cow was 3.2 centimeters wide, and the clear jade hook cloud pattern ring was 8.5 centimeters in diameter. These size could help determine the value of the jade articles during trading. For porcelain, there was no specific and unified model specifications, but when collecting, one would often pay attention to information such as the production period. There was no unified measurement standard that specifically targeted the model specifications like jade. However, the size of porcelain would affect its price, value, collection value, and other aspects. As for jewelry, the reference did not clearly state the overall model specifications of the jewelry, but different types of jewelry (such as jade, which belonged to the category of jewelry) had their own considerations in terms of size. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
