Investing in the prospect of Hetianyu According to the “Investment and Market Outlook” magazine published by the United States in May 1999, he once conducted a serious market research on the future investment trends, and listed several major investment projects in order, namely: antique calligraphy and painting. , jade jewelry, philatelic, real estate, ** and stocks. In the above ranking, jade jewelry ranked second. Personal opinion is that jade jewelry has its unique advantages. The first is the collection of jade jewelry, play, value in one, easy to collect, can preserve value, there is no special requirement for maintenance. Easy to carry, suitable to wear, able to show personal identity and taste. Secondly, jade jewelry is limited by economic income and investment conditions. It can be high, medium, or low, and the quantity can be higher or lower, and the price can be higher or lower. Compared with gold, diamonds and jade, jade has its unique advantages. Precious metals such as gold only have a value-preserving function. In the past three decades, the price increase rate of gold in the world is only equal to the inflation rate of various countries. Although diamonds have value-added capabilities, China's diamond mines and production are relatively scarce, and a large number of diamonds need to be imported, and diamond jewelry is far inferior to jade in terms of appearance, decorative effect and artistic taste.

According to the information provided by the China Jewelry and Jewellery Industry Association, the development of the Chinese jewelry industry is in good shape and the domestic market continues to prosper. Relevant data show that in recent years, the annual growth rate of domestic sales of jewellery and jade jewelry in China has reached more than 15%.

In the next three years, it is expected that the market size of Hetian jade will reach 10 billion yuan.

At present, the Chinese jade collectors are the third largest group after the two major collections of calligraphy and painting and porcelain. With the increasing number of sales and collections, the news media has enhanced the promotion of art knowledge, and collectors of jade lovers The continuous expansion of the understanding channels has provided a good foundation for the popularity of jade works. With economic development and social progress, Hetian Yu addition to inheriting traditional culture, the commercial side is also increasingly prominent. Hetian jade has gone from the exclusive products of the emperors to the homes of ordinary people, and the population of jade, jade, and consumer jade is constantly expanding. In addition, Hetian jade raw materials are increasingly being sought after by a large number of collectors. Due to scarcity, the quality of high-end Hetian jade raw materials and finished products will continue to rise. In the context of increasing inflation, its value-added and increase The function will attract powerful organizations and individuals to participate continuously. In Xinjiang, many jade-manufactured enterprises have raised their interest in raw materials to an unprecedented degree. Enterprises with jade mineral resources have a strong initiative, while more jade-manufactured enterprises purchase and store raw materials through various channels. Passivity is obvious.
