In the fall of 1997, the Christie's Jade Jewelry auction showed a string of world-famous jade beads, consisting of 27 pure emerald green beads, each with a diameter of 15.2 to 15.9 mm. The bead chain is equipped with a 10-carat diamond cufflink, which is unique in the world and is worth more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars. In the end, it was sold at HK$72.62 million, causing a lot of sensation in the jewelry industry.
According to Christie's auction company, this bead chain is taken from a piece of jade stone weighing about 50 kg. More than 30 years ago, when a Burmese jeweler got this piece of jade, he did not feel that it was precious. He intended to sell it but no one cares. Later, the jeweler cut the jade from the middle. When the sky was cut, the sky appeared twice. The center of the jade was a green emerald weighing about one kilogram. Therefore, the jeweler made the jade jade into a unique bead chain, named "double color" bead chain.
On November 6, 1997, the magnificent jade jewelry auction was held at Wanwan Hotel. Many collectors and wealthy people were present, and some rich people connected to the on-site auction telephone line. Many buyers competed fiercely, and the asking price quickly surpassed the highest valuation. In the end, a telephone buyer who did not attend the event, based on the sky-high price of 72.62 million Hong Kong dollars, has made the "double-color" bead chain as existing, making this bead chain the most valuable auction item in the history of Asian auctions.
In October 1997, Christie's Autumn Jade Jewelry Auction was also a necklace of 27 green and mellow jade beads. It was bought by a Southeast Asian buyer for 33.02 million yuan, more than double the estimate. The highest record of Asian auctions at the time. The beads of this extra-large jade necklace are 15.3 to 19.2 mm in diameter. They are like a string of bright green grapes. They are crystal clear and flawless. They are so fascinating and unattractive. There are different opinions about the origin of this string of jade beads. The more certain statement is: the bead chain was originally a string of beads, from the palace, I do not know what kind of twists and turns, to the hands of a Beijing businessman. He divided the string of beads into four, or sold or transferred, scattered in the folk. In the 1930s, the world famous female tycoon Hutton visited Shanghai in China and saw this string of jade beads. I loved it very much and bought it at a high price of 50,000 US dollars. Later, she took the bead chain to the famous jewelry designer Cartier, inlaid a red stone chain buckle for the bead chain, making it more luxurious and moving.
In 1988, the bead chain appeared at the Geneva auction. A private collector in the Far East bought the bead chain for $2.2 million (about 17 million Hong Kong dollars). Until 1994, the bead chain appeared again at the auction. Many buyers rushed to bid, and finally sold at record prices. In five years, the bead chain has nearly doubled its value, and the value of each bead is more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
Today we will come together to learn a few questions to pay attention to when purchasing the jade bead chain:
1, view the integrity.
The most important thing to buy a bead chain is that it can be seen at first sight, and that is its integrity. Therefore, the choice of bead chain depends on whether it is uniform in size, uniform in depth, close in transparency, and must be consistent in color, species and size. A bead chain composed of a ball having a large difference in color is undesirable.
2, pay attention to the diameter of the ball
The diameter of the beads is also important, and the large beads have higher requirements for their raw materials. The quality is good, but as long as the diameter is too small, it will lose the collection value. Therefore, the larger the beads, the higher the value of the collection. For example, one color and one kind are very good, and the bead chain which is uniformly arranged from large to small is lower in price than the bead chain of the same kind, the same color but the ball is large and uniform.
3, pay attention to color and variety
The choice of bead chain is the same as the purchase of bracelets, ring faces and flower pieces. Color and variety are also very important, but for the bead chain, the most important thing is its integrity.
4, carefully observe whether there is cleft palate
The most taboo of the bead chain is the cleft of the jade bead, in addition to its integrity. Therefore, consumers need to pay more attention to the actual collection.
