Calm Stone Crazy Jade

The 2010 China International Jewellery Show took place at the Old Beijing International Exhibition Center from November 11th to 15th. With an overwhelming number of exhibitors, the event expanded beyond Hall 2 into Hall 8, reflecting the growing interest in Baoyu Stone. This surge highlights a cultural and commercial trend that is gaining momentum across the country. Throughout history, different cultures have cherished unique gemstones. Western cultures often favor diamonds and emeralds, while Chinese culture has long revered jade and Hetian jade. These stones, with their vibrant colors and deep symbolism, have played a significant role in shaping their respective traditions. Yet, despite their prestige, they are ultimately natural stones—products of time and earth. The brilliance of these gems, though fleeting, has illuminated cultural skies for centuries. At this year’s show, one name stood out: jade. Jade, deeply rooted in Chinese tradition, has been revered for thousands of years. However, in recent years, it has taken on a new, almost chaotic energy. While other precious stones like diamonds, sapphires, and rubies remain relatively stable in price, jade has seen dramatic fluctuations. Some pieces have skyrocketed in value, creating a sense of frenzy among collectors and investors alike. One such stone is Huang Longyu, also known as topaz or yellow marble in geological terms. It has taken over much of the traditional Hetian jade space at the exhibition, drawing attention with its high prices. A simple bracelet that once cost just a few hundred yuan now commands tens of thousands, showing how quickly the market can shift. Despite the hype, the crowds around Huang Longyu weren’t as large as expected, suggesting that the real frenzy might be more about people than the stone itself. Another rising star is Jadeite, which saw a sharp increase in value in 2010. High-end booths showcased beautifully crafted pieces, appealing to those who want to express their wealth through jewelry. As society continues to evolve, so too does the demand for luxury, driving up prices even further. Saitama jade, once considered a modest material, has also experienced a surge in value. A piece that sold for 56,000 yuan in 2010 was priced at 178,000 yuan just a year later, showing how quickly the market can change. This kind of rapid appreciation has made Saitama a hot commodity among collectors. But the most talked-about stone of the year was Hetian jade. Pushed into Hall 8, it still dominated the scene with its intense energy. The “Tiangong Award” exhibition became a focal point, drawing crowds and generating excitement. The materials were expensive, with some seedlings selling for millions. The works themselves were equally impressive, with auction prices far exceeding expectations. Even masterpieces from renowned carvers fetched staggering sums, proving that the market for Hetian jade was anything but calm. In addition to the rising prices, the exhibition also featured a growing presence of jade carvers from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Many works previously purchased by overseas buyers have returned, adding to the competitive atmosphere. This influx brought fresh perspectives and artistic innovation, enriching the overall experience. As I walked through the halls of the exhibition, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of admiration and bewilderment. The world of fine stones is ever-changing, and this year’s show was no exception. While some stones remained steady, others went wild. In the end, it all came down to one phrase: calm stones, crazy jade.
