Jewelry trend will not change

Reporter: jadeite market has always been in the East, especially loved by southerners in China. Especially in the past two years, some Western luxury brands and some famous designers began to use jadeite jade in some jewelry.

Xiang Xianbiao: jadeite jade, without doubt, represents the traditional Chinese culture, which is completely different from the diamond representing western culture. The beauty of diamonds comes from its fire color, its high refractive index, and the beauty of jadeite comes from its warm, transparent and moist. The difference between jadeite and diamond reflects the difference between Chinese culture and Western culture.

The Chinese character is mainly static, restrained and conservative, while the western character is mainly dynamic, publicizing and enterprising. So since ancient times, westerners prefer red sapphire and diamonds, while Orientals prefer jade. After the cultural exchange between China and the west, diamonds first became popular in China, and then colored gemstones rose among young people in China. With the spread of Oriental culture, jadeite jade has been gradually liked by some Westerners. But in the big pattern, there will not be much change. After all, the mainstream will not change.
