Proverb: Gold has a price but jade is invaluable, as the possession gold jade. Since the crystal and nephritis are engraved in the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games emblem and the Summer Palace in gold and jade on the method of flooding is widely used, Xinjiang and nephritis has again attracted broad attention from foreign collectors. Nephritis and has often appeared in major auctions this month, Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong autumn jade teapot Qianlong to 7.18 million yuan prices, and continue to let the world Hetian attention to collecting.

Gemmological Association of China's recent interview with Vice-President, title = "suppliers of precious stones" gem supplier> Senior Luan Ping-ao, he stressed that Chinese jade culture grown on the collectors of jade preference, but as A non-renewable resources, and the value of collecting more Hetian the highest market has a promising future, the future will be one of the most popular collectors in the world.

Jade culture has a long history

Luan Ping-AO told reporters, jelly, psychology jade national observance in the long history of development of the training. Jade Culture in China age mature jade in the collection industry has always sought the root causes. Mining, sculpture, jade in China has been using thousand years of history. Jade ritual traditions in the Xia, Shang and Zhou further development of the time. From the Shang Dynasty, produced in Kunlun Mountains and nephritis were from the remote Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, or transported to the Shang Dynasty capital in Anyang, Henan, primitive society, how to open jade extended further west in Central Asia, the Western Zhou Xinjiang became kings and ministers Hetian an indispensable part of life.

Luan Ping-ao said, and Tian Baiyu, especially class suet jade jade can be described as beautiful as the focal point of China's jade culture, collection of great value and attention, always.

Jade eventually develop

While some experts predict, the Kunlun jade reserves up 100 million tons, stretches over 1,200 km, jade mines in the world over, but there is no doubt, jade, as a non-renewable resources, will continue in operation gradually reduced.

By statistics, in 2003, the volume of trade between wholesalers of gemstones jade jewelry in China reach 1,000 billion yuan, will inevitably lead to more frequent operations of a large number of mines, raw materials led reduce prices soaring again. The Kunlun mountain glaciers in recent years after mining of the mine's jade base is short, with the exception of inferior materials that mountains, Tsai Yu-Shan water is very difficult to adopt. Therefore, if more to 100 kg last year, and nephritis, this year more than 200 kilograms of buying it on the case, the property is difficult to find traces of grease white.

"And the best materials such Hetian dug a little piece on will certainly lead to shortages become more and more high value collection. "Luan Ping-AO told reporters, and is now a renewed enthusiasm for collecting material from jade, Aberdeen, Aberdeen Growth expected sales of more larvae directly in Xinjiang, buy and Khotan. Indicated previously, and revenue of Xinjiang Cai Yu Yu, who will come to coastal and inland sellers in recent years has basically not come. 1 because less good jade, two collectors influx of two larva is very good in the local sales of finished products. "I think there are sufficient funds in the possession of this time may be hidden, because the equipment less really good, we did not know nobody. Suddenly, the market price over time will inevitably increase. "

Good material Do not "do"

According to Luan Ao Bing presented the new collection of jade and Jade usually two kinds of jade to identify former emphasis on identifying the true and false Jade, strengths and weaknesses of the texture, sculpture with crude oil. Identification of jade former include the production of jade in the era of the history of the role of the identity of the occupants.

"Jade modeling is very important, wholesalers of precious stones need all and form part of a thorough analysis to determine its true value. "Luan Ping-ao said the good jade only composed of a base of jade, jade carving called not a device, jade final value after the design is to be able to better artificial incorporated.

Jade workers compete with the level of importance in determining the weight class of jade, Jade good materials must be used under the principle of Well, to make the composition perfect harmony, the novel unique, refined craftsmanship, it feels wet slide bold. "My advice is not a good design and manufacturing, not easy, because the equipment is becoming more difficult, and nephrite, jade come if problems have been destroyed, and not only the loss of staff "supplier jewelry supplier> in China, but also wasted resources." Luan Ping-ao that we must find the right producers, and nephritis is the real attitude of gratitude and love
