Calm Stone Crazy Jade

The 2010 China International Jewellery Show was held at the Old Beijing International Exhibition from November 11th to 15th. There may be too many exhibitors. In addition to Hall 2, another Hall 8 was opened. The number of exhibitors showed the current status of Baoyu Stone warming up.

For thousands of years, different countries and nations have different gems for their own culture and tradition. Western diamond emeralds, Chinese jade and Hetian jade have all added dazzling brilliance to their cultures with their different gorgeous colors. But after all, no matter how magnificent its name is, it is a stone of nature. Different times and ethnic groups often have individual gems that are particularly dazzling because of cultural needs. Although this brilliance is a meteor, it is enough to illuminate the cultural sky of an era. The gems that shine at the China International Jewellery Fair have a nice name - jade.

With stones adorn the stone, the utensils are elegant and the price is calm. Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and other types of precious stones are dazzling, displaying different cultures, trendy and classical coexistence, satisfying the preferences of different classes and different groups of people. Because these varieties are too classic, too common, the price does not change much, even if it rises, it is a few percent or tens of percent up, not outrageous - now there is no thing up? But it does not have room for speculation. The speculation must have pricing power, the pricing power of these things is not in the hands of the people, and the flow is even more global. Therefore, these gemstones are very quiet and their utensils are quite satisfactory, and prices have gone up and down.

Look at the jade-cut stone, and call it crazy. Jade, the ancestor of China, put a certain type of stone on a cultural label, and with this beautiful name, it has been worshipped by the Chinese people for thousands of years. It is also a unique cultural phenomenon in China. Today, it seems that once a certain type of stone is tagged with a jade cultural label, it should be worthless.

A look at Huang Longyu.

This kind of stone called the topaz stone in the geological community is called yellow marble in the name of Huanglongyu. It has a great potential and madly occupied most of the original Hetianyu exhibition area. Xinjiang Hetian jade exhibition group is neither fish nor fowl. It is said that Xinjiang Hetian jade pavilion did not allow soil to compete for booth space, in order to hold on to the key area of ​​the Hetian jade pavilion, the “Tiangong Award”, an excellent treasure. Under pressure, they went to Hall No. 8 and the other Hetian jade exhibitors moved away and dropped the Xinjiang Hetian jade exhibition group to stay there. This shows that Huang Longyu’s influence has flourished. Huang Longyu’s price is astounding. At the beginning of the year, the author saw a yellow dragon jade bracelet in the field, asking for a price of seven or eight hundred yuan, and the price on the show actually amounted to ten thousand thousand dollars. Prices can be overwhelming, and people who buy or buy money are making decisions. During the exhibition, the author visited this area twice and the audience was not too much. It seems that Huang Longyu's madness is not a stone but a person.

Second look at jade.

Jade is a jade with a large increase in price in recent years, especially in 2010, when the prices at the end of the year are very different. Emerald sellers of colorful Yunnan and other jade giants have luxury booths, avant-garde design, and natural prices. More people have more money and buy better jewelry to decorate themselves. As a result of social development, it is also a natural driving force for the natural rise of jadeite prices. The current jadeite rose twice as much, and people are still happy to save money. From the author's point of view, it is not surprising that Jade Chui’s steady and steady price increases.

Three to see Daiyu.

The market in Saitama has always been clear and flawless. People only regard its jade characters as furnishings. At best, they are high-grade stones. Nowadays, it is quite different. Although there is no such thing as Huang Longyu, there is also a veteran who has a top two horses. In previous years, the price of a decoration was not low, and the asking price is now tens of thousands. A piece of galloping horses, asking for 56,000 yuan in 2009, and participating in 2010, demanding 178,000 yuan! An old jade bracelet, 6000 yuan in 2009, 18,000 yuan in 2010! The rising price of Saitama is upside-down.

Four to see Hetian jade.

The most crazy jade in 2010 is Hetian jade. Hetian Yu, who was pushed into Hall 8, seems to have entered the side door, but he is in the way. Here is the field of Hetian jade, like a boiling vegetable market. The core project “Tiangong Award” is even more crowded, and it is not easy to squeeze in. These works are indeed worth a look. Compared to several other jade carving awards, the “Tiangong Award” is the highest in both technical innovation and artistic value.

Hetian jade exhibition area has several characteristics:

Material prices are crazy.

The price of Hetian jade materials, especially those of Hotan seeds, was a big step over 2009. "Tiangong Award" exhibition booth in front of a booth, a pile of seedlings of hundreds of pieces of children, the material is good, some people offer 70 million yuan, the average price of 700,000 yuan a piece, do not want to be rejected by businesses, other businesses also unanimously said The bid is too low.

Works prices are crazy.

During the exhibition every year, jade carving master works auctions are held, but to tell the truth, the minds of the masters are involved, and the work is ordinary - because there is no reserve auction, the master is also worried about being overlooked by others. However, what was the flaw in the 2010 auction? It was simply more than rich: a piece of the market was worth 10,000 yuan and 40,000 yuan; a value of 56,000 yuan was more than 200,000 yuan. the above! The cover of the "Tiangong Award" collection "Collection" was also photographed with over 700,000 yuan! Wow, this is not crazy?

Master works scenery.

Since the market is so good, the price of jade carving masters is so high that money is naturally not a problem. Therefore, this exhibition has both the collective appearance of the masters and the personal exhibition of the masters. The collective appearance refers to the arrangement of some masters' individual exhibitions before the Tiangong Award booth. Objectively speaking, the exhibition has a lot of artistic content. For example, Wu Desheng's works include both familiar nudity carvings and exquisitely carved Luo Han carvings. At the same time, the personal display is also unique. Liu Zhongrong set up an independent exhibition. The exhibition alone did not sell. The exhibits were mostly unfinished but it was also possible to demonstrate his artistic understanding of Yupai. In future exhibitions, more masters may present unique jade carving art.

Jade carving works abroad return.

Jade carvings are contemporary works and there is no problem of reflow. In the past two years, the prices of jade sculptures in the Hetian area in the Mainland have risen so fast that a large number of jade sculptures bought by Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwanese people in previous years have returned in large numbers. Behind the "Tiangong Award" exhibition area is Taiwan's back-flowing exhibition booth. The works of the top jade carving masters make people feel at home. Wu Desheng, Liu Zhongrong, Yu Jing, Yi Shaoyong and others have abound in the works, and they are said to be inexpensive. The materials of these works may not be as good as these two years, but they are not artistic under any circumstances. These works also have an impact on the current jade carving market. It may not be a bad thing to lower the prices of such high jade carving works.

Hey, after watching this year's China International Jewellery Show, I feel: calm stones, crazy jade.
