Help me take a look. Is it valuable for collection?

Yes, collecting is a hobby of collecting, storing, classifying and maintaining items. Collectors usually collect valuable antiques, but they may also include other small items. Such as calligraphy and painting, stamp collection, matchbox stickers and postcards are the more mainstream collection items.

Chinese Collection

"Gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times" With the rapid development of our country's economy and the increasing improvement of people's living standards, people are paying more and more attention to the development of investment and financial management. Starting from stocks, futures, and real estate, we gradually turned to art. How to correctly choose a collectible with low risk and rapid appreciation is the most concerned issue for every investor and collector. As a collectible, it must meet various conditions to be collectible. Hotan jade is the most precious among the dazzling array of Chinese collections and is regarded as the national jade. It has the following characteristics:

The rarity of the material

Hetian jade is a great treasure given to mankind by nature, which is called "real jade". Compared with other kinds of non-real jade, it is far rarer than other kinds of non-real jade used in the jade carving industry. In particular, Hotan mutton-fat white jade has been mined for thousands of years and is now difficult to find. It is extremely precious and is the best of Hotan jade. As we all know, natural resources are non-renewable. As market demand expands and mining intensity increases, Hotan mutton-fat jade will become increasingly rare and precious.

Irreplaceable

With the development of science and technology, people’s ability to imitate various types of artworks is improving with each passing day, whether it is celebrity calligraphy and painting, official kiln porcelain, earthenware clay figurines, merchants’ There are a large number of high-end imitations of Zhou bronze ware and so on. It makes it difficult for some experienced connoisseurs to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. It also makes the collectors lose money and feel sad. The feeling of buying a fake is indescribable. The inherent characteristics of Hetian jade are not possessed by other counterfeit products. As long as you observe carefully, it is easy to distinguish. It is also very easy to master the identification skills and knowledge of Hetian jade. The most credible thing is that Hetian jade can be identified by scientific instruments and can be identified by gem and jade monitoring stations across the country. Therefore, unlike other works of art, it will not be misdiagnosed by fake experts and harm collectors.

Value preservation and appreciation

The value preservation and appreciation of Hetian jade are caused by many factors, so it has a certain degree of stable appreciation. From the perspective of raw materials, as the difficulty of mining increases, the mining expenses and costs are also increasing, and the prices of raw materials are rising year by year. Ten years ago, a kilogram of mountain food cost 80-120 yuan. At present, one kilogram of first-grade mountain material costs 6,000-8,000 yuan. Ten years ago, one kilogram of first-grade seed material cost 1,000 yuan. At present, one kilogram of first-grade seed material costs RMB 60,000-80,000. This growth rate is enough to make your heart beat faster. From the perspective of processing costs, the monthly salary of a fifth-level jade carving worker ten years ago was 80 yuan. The current monthly salary for a level five jade carver is 3,000 yuan. Wages have increased more than 30 times. However, the production efficiency cannot be increased 30 times, and it is still manual production. In terms of output, an artist can create thousands of Chinese paintings in his lifetime. A jade carving master can only carve dozens of fine pieces in his lifetime. Judging from other production costs, they are also increasing year by year, so the selling price of Hetian jade carvings has almost doubled. As the currency depreciates, collecting Hetian jade can also play a role in accumulating wealth and saving.

Art Appreciation

Every good work of art is invested with the intelligence and sweat of the designers and producers. The same is true for jade carvings. Its rich and colorful genres, auspicious blessings, magical carvings, noble and elegant temperament, and broad cultural connotations reflect the genius and intelligence of the jade carving masters. Each work has high ornamental value and is thought-provoking. In particular, some works with good meanings directly represent people's ideological wishes and emotional support. Appreciating and playing with a piece of exquisite jade is a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

Good preservation

All collections in the world will suffer from oxidation, mildew, breakage, aging, etc. during long-term storage. All the problems are difficult to overcome, and if you are not careful, the value of the collection will be directly affected, or even worthless. Many collectors are deeply confused about the long-term storage of their rich collections. Only jade collectors can rest easy because jade has excellent chemical stability. A piece of jade can be passed down from generation to generation without oxidation, mildew or decay. Small pieces of jade can be worn everywhere, not only to dispel evil spirits and nourish the body, but also to play with and nourish one's nature. When collecting Hetian jade, you must first distinguish the product from the work. Products generally can be mass-produced and made repeatedly without artistic added value. The work is a work that has been poured into the maker’s intelligence. Those with artistic appreciation and cultural connotation, especially the exquisite, exquisite and divine works of some masters, have immeasurable artistic added value. The masterpieces of today's masters will be the treasures of the world tomorrow. Therefore, only by collecting the fine and divine products of Hetian jade can the value be increased and preserved.
