Why are large lacquer beads more expensive?

The output is scarce and the quality requirements are high.

1, the output is scarce: lacquer beads are extracted from the sap of Rhus verniciflua, but the growth of Rhus verniciflua is slow, and only limited juice can be produced every year, so the output of lacquer beads is relatively small, and the output of small lacquer beads is even less, so the price is relatively high.

2. High quality requirements: the quality of large lacquer beads is related to their size. The small and large lacquer beads are collected from the old lacquer tree, and the sap of the old tree is of good quality, so the small and large lacquer beads are of high quality and relatively high price.
