Something Which Is Too Beautiful For Me To Have It

Since primary school I already in love with jade, 翡翠 is one of them. However, I don’t think I am able to own a piece of 阳绿色老坑玻璃种翡翠 in my life.

Nowadays the jade market (中國和田玉 and 緬甸翡翠) is going crazy, especially for 翡翠. The price for a top quality of 翡翠 is up 1000 times when compared to 10 years ago. For example, a 阳绿色戒面5.7毫米(mm) 戒面,从06年 RMB$几千元到07年涨到 RMB$三万多元 and one 拇指大小的高档戒面,从06年的 RMB$三千多万元,到07年涨到 over RMB$200,000,000.00. 2 main reasons why the price for 翡翠 is going up like crazy: 1st is the 翡翠 mine is going to dry up soon. 2nd is because people from China is getting riches. Traditionally, Chinese love 玉. 翡翠玉石,在中华文化中代表着吉祥、平安、尊贵及永恒,向来是帝皇贵族的至爱珍藏,乾隆皇帝更为翡翠赐名为“帝皇玉”.

这条翡翠珠链由57颗“老坑玻璃种”的翡翠珠子串成,珠子晶莹剔透、圆润饱满、翠绿均匀。 Estimated price is over RMB$100,000,000.00.

This set is about RMB$30,000,000.00. 这件翡翠饰品重21.70克,另外镂空皇冠造型的托上镶嵌有221颗钻石。据了解,它是1790年乾隆八十大寿筹备贺礼时准备的两件翡翠中的一件“传世翡翠”。Estimated price is RMB$30,000,000.00. 最近香港却出现了一颗碧绿夺目的老坑玻璃种翡翠 ——帝皇之星,这绝对是当今世上独一无二的巨型蛋面单粒翡翠。经多名专家鉴定后,此翡翠无论在重量、色泽、体积及质量,均为世间罕见的珍品,按照现时市场价值,估价最少五亿港元.
