? It is said that jade is not cut into tools, if there is no exquisite jade carver, there is no variety of exquisite jade carvings, at best, it is a piece of jade only. It has a variety of forms after the creation of jade carving masters, a variety of symbols, China since ancient times, there are collection collection: {one three one} zero one; seven one, three zero zero four. The jade carving masters know the essence of the tradition of good luck, so they can create a lot of fine products for us to collect. Jade seal works are designed and created by them through a variety of themes and backgrounds. For the creation of jade tourmaline, we only see how beautiful and aesthetically pleasing the finished work is, but we don't see the hard work of the jade carving masters in the process of creation, a jade carving work starts from the drawing of the artwork, and then to the selection of the material, and then it needs to go through the process of measuring, cutting, polishing, hand-carving, etc. If the cutting is wrong or the polishing is overdone, then the jade carving work is not as good as it used to be. If cutting errors or excessive polishing and other reasons, so that the work does not meet the standards of the draft to waste or defective products, the difficulty can be imagined.

? Jade variety, China's vast expanse, each mountain has its own characteristics, so the texture of jade also has its different characteristics, such as Yunnan is known as the south red, jadeite, Nanyang is famous for Dushan jade, Liaoning to Cuiyu for the best, Xinjiang and Hetian to the sheep fat white jade for the best. The most valuable of these is Hetian Jade, especially the tens of thousands of dollars for a gram of white jade. From the market price of Hetian Jade in recent years, the price of top grade Hetian Jade has been increasing by about 30% per year, which is why Jade Seal collectibles can be sought after. There is another reason why more people buy jade tourmaline compared to jewelry pendants such as Hetian jade bracelets is that jade tourmaline is made from a whole piece of Hetian jade, and often a jade tourmaline of about 500 grams can be made into a lot of kinds of fine jewelry, such as jade bracelets, jade plaques, jade pendants, jade triggers, and so on.

In summary, part of the value of the jade seal in addition to the value of the jade itself, the value of craftsmanship created by master craftsmen, and policy guidance! So that the value of the collection further increase, and finally achieve the purpose of appreciation. So, we say that the value of purchasing a jade seal collection has increased? Some people say that the enhancement, some people say that by way of speculation to enhance the collection has changed the attributes of the collection, the actual or the original value. Here in fact can not be so generalized, why do you say so?

We all know that, first of all, the jade seal collection to have value is certainly "rare as expensive", that is to say it must meet the number of how many issued on how many, sold out on the gone; and then need to be precipitated by time, rather than say today to buy the end of the value of the appreciation tomorrow, which is wrong. It is wrong to say that after the precipitation of time, it is not that the speculation raises the value, but it is the special, non-renewable resource attribute of this kind of jade! Because there is less and less fine jade material, the quality of early jade material is relatively high, and the quality of jade mined in the later stages of jade mining will decline until the jade mines are completely exhausted. Obviously, if you have been concerned about the big topics, big events issued by the jade seal, focus on these years issued by the subject of the jade seal will find that each issue of the jade seal size, weight, are declining, however, the price has been still rising, high-quality white jade or sheep fat white jade jade jade tourmaline price is indeed higher than before more than 2 times. This is a very significant change, I do not know how many collectors can find. This is the normal process of jade tourmaline collection appreciation, however, it is also a process that is rarely discovered.
