Qingcheng Baoyu Stone Market slowly warms up

Whether it is the color of colorful stones, pearls and jade, or the favorite corals, agates, turquoises, ambers, etc. of northern ethnic minorities, the people of the capital today can always hold gemstone exhibitions or major events. The shopping malls and the ancient city gemstone dealers saw that the gemstone market in Hohhot was like. The reporter of Hohhot Evening News will take you to know one or two.

Colored gems have hot spots every year

Wang Qinglian, a consultant to the Hohhot Collectors Association, has decades of experience in the collection of gemstones and mentioned the changes in the gem collection field in 2015. Wang said that despite the impact of the overall economic environment this year, the gem market has also shown weakness. For real high-end precious stones, this effect is not significant. Basically every few years, the gemstone market will emerge a "new darling", such as the previous years of tanzanite and tourmaline, the new darling on the market this year is the green garnet.

Wang Qinglian explained that not all garnets are precious, and the hotspots here are green garnets. This garnet, also known as emerald green chrome vanadium garnet or green jasmine, is the rarest and most precious garnet variety, which is rarely seen on the market. As a kind of gemstone, common garnet red is the most common people. This kind of garnet is indeed a middle and low grade gem. The price has not changed much in recent years, but the price of high quality green garnet has been bullish this year, and the current market price is approaching. The same color emerald price. Emerald is one of the world's five most precious stones recognized by the world. The preciousness of this garnet can also be imagined.

"Jin-Jade" small pieces

On the morning of November 9th, in a shop in the ancient desert city of Dawei, which sells jade and jade, Hohhot Evening News reporters saw from time to time that someone would come and consult. Gold-encrusted jade was used as a combination of fashion and culture to become a collection of hobbies. The first choice. Gao Wa, a collector of gold-inlaid jade, said: “I like jade for more than 10 years. I have always liked Suyu before. Because of the complicated production process of gold-encrusted jade, the gold-inlaid jade technique was once lost in history. Suyu is more sought after by people."

For the gold-encrusted jade that is now very popular in the market, the city's jade collection enthusiasts, Mr. Song Qingfeng, member of the Hohhot Evening News Collection Tasting, introduced that the rich gold-inlaid jade of Chinese cultural elements appeared, allowing the world to see the light of the gold-inlaid jade. In recent years, China's gold-inlaid jade market has begun to warm up quickly and gradually presents a diversified development trend. In the entire jade jewelry market, Jasper, Hetian jade, and chalcedony products are under the background of poor ear consumption. Young people begin to wear gold-inlaid jade that is more fashionable and beautiful in design style, which has caused the main reason for the rise of gold-plated jade market.

Organic gems high-quality collections become market leaders

Zhu Jiang, who runs the collection of beads in Lao Cai, has been in contact with the collection of corals. He has a rich variety of corals in his collection, including pure and colorful Akka corals, pinkish MOMO corals, and new markets. The widely-received Sardinia coral. In his opinion, although the value of organic gemstone collection has been affected by the market as a whole, its overall performance this year is still remarkable. "For example, in the case of Aka in corals, the best quality corals have risen about 10% to 20% this year, and the market has a higher degree of recognition. Relatively speaking, the middle and low-grade Aka corals are downgraded. About 10%, jewelry, ornaments, and accessories made of MOMO materials are more liked by female Tibetan friends, and the price change is not very obvious.But the satin material that was previously favored by people is not concerned about this year, and the price is floating more. About 50%, sales are minimal."

As Mr. Li from Hainan who came to Haihehot every year to participate in the jewelry fair, the change in the value of the earthworms has little impact on real collections. “Corals and cockroaches are organic gemstones from the seabed, and now Taiwan, India and other places of origin are all restricting exploitation, leading to the price of these organic gemstones rising very quickly in previous years. The relative coral collection market tends to become saturated. Differently, the price of oysters is still rising.

From the first few thousand yuan to the current tens of thousands, the price of lutetium has risen tenfold. One of the reasons for the rising collection value is its own scarcity, followed by the market demand. In previous years, jewelry fairs all over the country were mainly made of jade and jadeite, but with price bubbles and market saturation, they are now relatively small. However, there are more and more exhibitions on the market. While increasing competition, it also creates a good market atmosphere. However, if you want to have good collection value, your own quality is the most important thing. Only if you have a good product can you appreciate your value. Poor quality crickets, although temporarily able to bring economic benefits, but can not afford the test of time. "Mr. Li said.

“Each year there are a lot of original ore exhibitions abroad, and there are also many amber boutiques, and the price is also more suitable than domestic ones.” For collectors Wang Guang, who often visits foreign exhibitions, the amber brought back from abroad Fine products often become high-end domestic. Greater appreciation of space.
