Whether the price of jade was inflated or not needed to be analyzed from many aspects. From the perspective of market supply and demand, like Hetian jade, as the market continued to expand, high-quality raw materials gradually became scarce. In the past, the situation of supply exceeding demand was no longer the case, and the price went down. This indicated that the price might have been high due to the scarcity of raw materials, but now it was returning to a reasonable price, so it could not be simply considered as a false high. Moreover, different jades had different conditions. For example, the price of jadeite depended on many factors such as color, clarity, texture, cutting, clarity, size, and so on. High-quality jadeite, such as special-grade jadeite, was expensive because it was dark green, had good clarity, and was extremely rare. From the perspective of market transactions, there were previously improper transactions and speculations that pushed up the price. However, with the strengthening of market regulation and supervision, these behaviors were effectively curbed, making the price more rational. Therefore, it could not be said that the price of jade was inflated. At the same time, some low-priced jade products, such as jade bracelets that cost 9.9 yuan, indicated that there were also jade products that were more affordable in the market, and the price was in line with their value. Moreover, the value and price of different types of jade varied greatly. For example, the price of cheap jade such as chalcedony was relatively low, which was in line with its own quality and market positioning. As for some ancient jade with historical and artistic value, it was also because of its unique collection value, artistic value, and historical and cultural heritage that they were auctioned at a high price. For example, it was reasonable for the white jade melon ridge style sheep head silk inlaid porcelain teapot made by the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty to be auctioned at a high price.

The price of ordinary jade was about 80 - 4000 yuan, among which the price of jade with poor quality was generally 80 - 300 yuan, Xiuyan jade with about 300 - 500 yuan was more common, slightly better ordinary jade was about 500 - 1000 yuan, third-class Hetian jade was about 1000 - 1300 yuan, and second-class ordinary white jade was about 1300 - 2600 yuan.

The price of low-grade and middle-grade jade was declining, while the price of middle-grade and high-grade jade was basically stable and slightly rising. The price of high-grade jade, especially the price of special jade, had been rising. The characteristics of high-grade and special jade were good planting, green, good water, and good purity. They mainly appeared in the glass jade of the old pit. The special jade was the top grade of the glass jade of the old pit. At the same time, the pricing of Hetian jade also involved factors such as origin, quality, color, moisture, size, shape, and carving. The relationship between supply and demand in the market also had a direct impact on the price. The novel "Ledge" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The price of raw jadeite was calculated by weight and by block. The price of many raw jadeite stones was calculated by weight. The price of gambling stones usually ranged from tens to hundreds of yuan per kilogram. The price of gambling stones from good places would be even higher. When there was a stone with a high probability of being green, the price was calculated according to the piece. It was basically certain that the raw stone with green or even good jade was expensive. In the market, some merchants would cut a small piece of raw jade ("open the window"), and the price of the raw jade with the "open window" was higher than that of the raw jade without the window. If there was a high green color at the opening of the window, it could be directly evaluated according to the degree and quality of the green (called the actual price in the industry); if the raw stone was not opened but the surface was green, the price should be determined by evaluating whether there was green inside and the range of green. If it was judged that there was green inside, the price of this raw stone would be several times higher than the actual price. Seeing the green situation, the evaluation needed to observe whether the green color of the jade was embedded in the stone, how deep it was, and the green performance of the whole jade material. If the green color on the surface was better, there might be green inside, and the price would be several times higher than the actual price. The novel "Ledge" is equally exciting.

The recycling of jade did not depend on its weight, but mainly on its quality. In order to seek high profits, some merchants recycled 18K gold inlaid jade products at 250 - 300 yuan per gram, but this calculation method was unfair to consumers. The value of the inlaid 18K gold and the jade should be evaluated separately. The 18K gold could be estimated according to its gold content and the price of pure gold. Then, the price of the jade should be estimated. Finally, the total price of recycling should be added up. However, the exact price of jade would vary greatly due to various factors such as quality and market demand. It was difficult to give a fixed price value. The novel "Ledge" is equally exciting.

There was no fixed price for a custom-made jade. It was affected by many factors. In terms of raw materials, the price of raw jade varied greatly. The price of a kilogram of raw jade was generally 60 - 300 yuan per kilogram. The price of a high-quality raw jade was tens of thousands. The price of a low-quality brick was only calculated by the kilogram. The price of a low-quality brick might only be worth a few yuan. For example, a piece of green jade of the same size, the good quality might be worth more than ten thousand yuan, and the poor might only be worth a few yuan. On Taobao's Dongbao Zhai and other places, the price of raw jade was about 200 yuan per kilogram. If it was a custom bracelet, the water and color could be seen when the plate was customized, but there was also the risk of the merchant's pictures or videos being tampered with. From the perspective of the customized service itself, customized jadeite was unique and could meet individual needs, but it would increase the cost. It needed to consider the time and energy cost of communicating with designers, sculptors, and other personnel. There were also uncertainties. For example, the fluctuation of the market price of raw materials, the designer's misunderstanding, and the flaws in the carving process could all affect the final price, resulting in the final price of the finished product being inconsistent with expectations. In addition, the requirements of the custom-maker for the quality, color, and clarity of the jade would also affect the price. For example, the jade that required a high water content and a rich color would naturally be more expensive. Furthermore, if one pursued a unique design, the complexity of the design would also affect the price. " Fairy Dream of Tang Shi: Fate of Peony " is equally wonderful.

The price of green jade varied greatly due to many factors. First of all, the quality of the jade had a huge impact on the price. For example, a high-ice type spicy Yang green jade bracelet with a ring size of 57.8 would be valued between 4 million and 6 million in the market, and one of them would be sold for 4.8 million.

However, if a bean-type bracelet had an additional ring of green, its value could immediately soar to between 100,000 to 300,000 yuan. Secondly, the difference in color also made the price very different. The prices of imperial green, spicy sun green, positive sun green, apple green, clear water green, and other colors decreased in turn. The price difference between imperial green and spicy sun green was about ten times, the price difference between spicy sun green and positive sun green was about five times or even higher, the price difference between positive sun green and apple green was about three times, and the price difference between apple green and clear water green was about two times. Moreover, under the same quality, the more positive the color of the jade, the stricter the price requirement, and the greater the price difference. From imperial green to clear water green, the color gradually became lighter. From yellow to blue, yellow would be more expensive than blue. At the auction, a high-quality full green jade bracelet with fine texture and good water head could be sold for 15.87 million yuan. In addition, there was also the "Emperor Green" jade brand from the Qianlong period, which sold for 74 million yuan. Jade collections from the Qianlong period, such as "Qing Qianlong·Imperial Jade Carving Evil Warding Water Cheng", sold for 49.45 million yuan."Qing Qianlong jade embossed Kui dragon pattern double-ear dragon button square tripod" and other extremely high prices. Green jade in ordinary jewelry stores might not be expensive, and could be bought for tens of thousands of yuan. The novel "Ledge" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
