A few days ago, Toutiaojun pushed me a topic, talking about how much jade is good?
In terms of price, of course, it is the most direct and effective, and a jade plate of more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan must be better than a jade plate of several thousand yuan anyway, otherwise merchants would not dare to sell it at such a price. But it's good to ask how much jade is, and sometimes it's not easy to answer. There are several main reasons for this.
1. Different channels.
The different channels mean that who are you buying from? After the jade is mined from the mountain, it will first enter the hands of large jade merchants, who will transport these materials to domestic processing and distribution centers, and the usual practice is to first cut the material, look at the quality of the jade, and then see how many bracelets and brands can be made, and the remaining leftovers will go to some small processing workshops. Of course, there are also jade merchants who only buy and sell materials without any processing, they will transport the materials to the processing and distribution center, and sell the materials in accordance with the cost plus profit.
These materials are purchased by small jade processing factories and jade studios, and then they are created, carved and sold. This is the first level - the original manufacturer.
Ordinary jade merchants buy in such a processing and distribution center market, and they will bargain with the sales staff of these factories, and finally make a deal in a relatively suitable **. These merchants then bring the goods back to the larger market for sale. Most of this larger market is an economically developed area with a certain jewelry culture, such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou, etc. Most of these jade merchants are second-tier dealers, which means that they often come into contact with third-tier retailers, most of whom are jade operators in the flowers, birds, fish and insect markets in various cities, and their customers are ordinary consumers in most senses. In other words, most consumers go through two or three layers of mark-up sales before finally buying the product they want. From this level, because the channels you buy are different, it also represents the difference in the goods you buy, even if the quality, workmanship, and meaning of the two are not much different, but there is also a certain gap in **, so it is uncertain to simply say how much is good.
2. The cost of materials is different.
This cost is different, refers to the cost of the first goods and the tail goods are different, most of the jade merchants sell the best materials and workmanship are relatively high, that is, to return to the cost as soon as possible, as for the return of the tail goods after the ** is relatively much cheaper, the main thing is to quickly return the funds. Therefore, there are some situations where a small amount of money is used to buy good goods, which is what everyone often calls the situation of missing goods.
3. The truth is different.
For example, some merchants will have shoddy conditions, for example, they will chemically treat jade, make some fake skins of seeds through chemicals and rollers, and grind some leftovers through repeated grinding of rollers to form a round state like seeds, and then make textures on the surface of these fake seeds, and make some colors through chemical dyeing and high-temperature and high-pressure treatment. Through this operation, the price is mixed, and the price is raised.
The second is to use jade materials from other origins to confuse the public, in order to improve the grade. For example, the use of Russian materials is Hetian materials, or Ba materials instead of Russian materials. The certificate identified in this way is also Hetian jade, but it is very different from Hetian jade in the narrow sense.
The third is to use other materials to pass off Hetian jade, such as some white marble.
The fourth is to chemically process the jade powder, and also add some other ingredients to make fake Hetian jade, these things are very excessive, such a product is not Hetian jade at all, but its outer layer and Hetian jade have a certain similarity, most consumers do not know its reason, so there are many deceived people.
Especially the third type, which is popular in most e-commerce platforms, makes it difficult to guard against. Similarly, there are such routines in the counters of some shopping malls, but most of the things in the counters are shoddy and of poor quality.
Jade To sum up, the complexity of jade leads people to often say that gold and silver are priceless jade, and relatively speaking, the ** of jade is probably more than a thousand to be regarded as an entry level, as for whether the higher ** represents better, we often need to improve our vision and avoid taking medicine.
