Hetian jade value standards need to see three points

Hetian jade has never had a strict value-defining standard and has an inseparable relationship with its own characteristics. There are many factors that affect the value of Hetian jade, such as origin, appearance, carving theme, whether it comes from famous artists, and so on. It is precisely because of these numerous factors that hetian jade has never been evaluated in terms of its value. I believe that the definition of Hetian jade value standard should focus on three points: Hetian jade origin, Hetian jade carving and Hetian jade carving come from famous artists.

First, the origin of a piece of Hetian jade works is good or bad, the first thing to look at is the original material. The works with poor color, oil, texture, and origin do not believe that the carving is beautiful and there is no collection value. In today's identification of Hetian jade, some institutions in China only focus on stone and refractive index, but they ignore the difference in origin, and include some Kunlun jade, Russian material, Canadian, and Korean jade in the Hetian jade range. Consumers familiar with Hetian jade understand that China’s Hetian jade has always been expensive in Xinjiang, and that some other areas, although generally referred to as Hetian jade, have a far cry from their prices. Therefore, such a wide range of discriminating standards in the country has caused some consumers to suffer a lot of losses. Therefore, it is hoped that in the future, when the Hetian jade value standard is perfected, it will be able to include the place of origin and make it easier for consumers to identify.

Second, the carving process in addition to Hetian jade raw material value, carving also affect the value. Different carving works, the artistic charm, style, and beauty of the carved works are different. And in the value of Hetian jade, appreciation value also accounts for a large part. Therefore, under the influence of an equally important collection of materials, even if the raw materials are superior, there is no superb carving and the collection value is greatly reduced. Therefore, in the definition of Hetian jade value standard, carving is also very important. Today's Hetian jade craftsmanship is more popular as a Shanghai-style jade sculpture, and some young Shanghai-based jade carving artists have attracted attention.

Third, whether or not the hands of famous artists come from the hands of famous artists also affect the value of He Tianyu's works. Today's Hetian jade collectors can be divided into two categories, one is a hobby collector and the second is a senior collector. The first type of collectors are mainly hobby, and due to limited experience or limited funds, they will collect a number of merchandise works, but the appreciation space is not large. The second category of senior collectors is more concerned about the value of the various aspects of the work, so many will choose master works or rookie works. The author believes that the collection of rookie works is more advantageous than the master works. Because it is a rookie, the price of the works is not as high as that of the masters. For example, the works of the Shanghai-based jade carving Xinxiu Mu Yujing are not inferior to the master-class works in terms of carving and raw materials. The only difference from the master is the size of the popularity. However, the collectors must understand that the popularity of Mu Yujing will also increase with time. Therefore, the collection of Mu Yujing's works is equivalent to spending less money on a masterpiece, and there is more room for appreciation.

Most of the Hetian jade collectors are very optimistic about the future market trend of Hetian jade. The author also believes that with the development and expansion of the Hetian jade industry, the country will surely introduce a more reasonable Hetian jade value evaluation system. This will make the popularity of Hetian jade more stable and Hetian jade market healthier.
