In the jadeite raw material trading market in Pingzhou, Guangdong, there is a bustling crowd, with thousands of pieces of jadeite raw materials of various sizes placed on the ground. Buyers carefully select them with professional flashlights. Xu Meixian runs a jade jewelry processing factory in the local area with over 20 years of experience in purchasing raw materials. When the reporter saw him, he was looking at a piece of apple green wool. Xu Meixian told the reporter that compared to previous years, the procurement difficulty this year has significantly increased.

Xu Meixian, a purchaser of raw jadeite materials in Foshan, Guangdong: Previously, it was a large piece or a whole piece of stone that was taken out for sale, but now it is cut into pieces and sold. This means that there are fewer and fewer good ingredients in the market, and if there are fewer ingredients, the price will increase. This apple green material has increased by over 70-80%.
The reporter learned during the visit that not only have the prices of high-quality jadeite raw materials increased significantly this year, but even some ordinary raw materials are also rising.

Xue Shanyou, a purchaser of raw jadeite materials in Foshan, Guangdong: This year, entry-level jadeite has increased by 20-30%. In previous years, it may have risen by 10% or 1.5% per year, and 20% has already reached its peak.
Cui Jianxiong, Vice President of Pingzhou Jewelry and Jade Association in Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province: Last year, Myanmar began to close mines, and there were no stones coming from the source. Without wool, prices will rise.

At a processing plant in Pingzhou, technicians draw the position of bracelets on pieces of jade boards. According to the person in charge, the skilled workers who draw bracelet positions need at least five years of experience. In the past, a single skilled worker in a processing plant could complete it. However, with the rise in raw material prices, now three or four skilled workers are carefully studying how to draw bracelet positions together, fearing wasting some material.
The drawn bracelet is made into a bracelet cake through processing equipment, and then the bracelet core is taken out to make a semi-finished bracelet blank. It is then polished and polished to make a bracelet, and the remaining material is then used to make various other jade jewelry.

Xu Meihong, the person in charge of a jade processing factory in Foshan, Guangdong: After two or three days of polishing and polishing, it is made into a crystal clear bracelet product. The bracelet core can also be processed and carved into pendants. Bracelets worth over ten thousand yuan are basically bought in one go, and the most important thing now is that the materials cannot be purchased.
The reporter visited several local jadeite and jade jewelry stores and stores and learned that May to August was the off-season for jadeite jewelry consumption in previous years, but this year's off-season is not weak, with a significant increase in customer traffic and sales. The market demand for high-quality jade bracelets with good texture, water content, color, and other qualities is strong, and prices are rising rapidly.

Zhou Xiaodong, the head of a jewelry company in Pingzhou, Foshan, Guangdong: We clearly feel that the demand this year is relatively strong, especially for mid to high end goods.
Yunnan Kunming Jade Bracelet Buyer Yang Yuan: The biggest feeling is that it is particularly difficult to purchase. One is that the price has increased, and the other is that there are fewer high-quality items. Since the beginning of the year, bracelets priced between 10000 and 100000 yuan may have increased by 10%, but bracelets priced above 100000 yuan have increased by 30%.
