The online low-cost jadeite is mostly quartzite jade

Pure natural quartzite jade The so-called New Cui natural jade jade bracelet original price of 2680 yuan, online shopping price as long as 324 yuan? Recently, Deep Throat broke the news with the Morning Post reporter. The online mall is full of fake jade jewelry, and some consumers who do not understand jade gates are deceived. Net purchase jade in the end rely on not fly? The Morning Post reporter conducted an in-depth investigation.

Net purchase jade price 3,000 yuan promotion 300 yuan reporters in a well-known online shopping mall search Jade jewelry, a total of 860,000 search, a little browse the first few pages, most of the price in the thousand yuan, some jade bracelets even less than 100 Yuan, but it is marked with the words "Natural Jade A cargo."

"Deep Throat" casually opened a brand called "Natural Jade Bracelet A cargo, with a certificate" ladies bracelet. This bracelet, which was originally sold for nearly 3,000 yuan, has a promotional price of only 300 yuan. Businesses indicate that the jade bracelet is from Myanmar.

“If you look at this picture, it looks very beautiful. The price of this kind of jadeite bracelet on the market cannot be less than RMB 100,000. According to the eyes of people in the industry, this figure cannot be a physical picture of the product. Know where the business came from," said Deep Throat.

Later, Deep Throat consulted the seller about the jade bracelet. The seller stated that this jade bracelet is definitely a natural jadeite A product. How much it should be, all the goods and pictures are the same, and what size warehouse you want. When “Deep Throat” indicates that you want to take a product, but you must first see which bracelet was sent, the seller stated that the warehouse and customer service are not in the same place and cannot provide photos of the product.

"There are no two identical jade pieces in the world, so it is not possible to have two identical bracelets. Some merchants even set the jade jewelry to be returned within 3 days after it is sold. It is likely that it will be afraid of prolonged after-sales and consumption. Those who are looking for professional bodies to identify problems," said Deep Throat.

Subsequently, the reporter also asked a number of jade jewelry sellers selling less than $ 500 online sellers, these sellers are very sure that their own jewelry sold are natural jade.

However, the emerald jewelry on the product pictures are mostly in the old pit jade color, the price of less than 1,000 yuan is really not a loss?

Deep Throat Secret Low-cost Jade is mostly made of quartzite jade "At present, most of the online price is less than 500 yuan. The jewelry that the seller calls natural jade is actually not made of jade, but quartzite jade or chalcedony. They are also It belongs to jade, but it is definitely not jade." "Deep throat" said.

"Deep Throat" indicates that many online sellers in Yunnan and Henan use "Natural Jade A cargo" as a gimmick to deceive consumers. As mentioned above, the bracelet that only sells 300 yuan is processed from quartzite jade. This bracelet merchant sold 300 pieces a month, and there are thousands of stocks, not counting the number of other jewelry he sells. However, from the perspective of people in the industry, this kind of fine jewelry, ordinary online shop can not have such a large amount of inventory. “The jade pits in old pits have become less and less. The era of thousands of sales in one month has been a few decades away from us.”

Not only jade, other types of jade can escape the clutches of bad businesses. "For example, white jade, there is a large amount of goods on the Internet, and there are a large number of goods at prices ranging from tens of tens of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Consumers who do not know much about jade will often look at their eyes and choose products based on their feelings. In fact, they do not know what type of jade they are buying," said Deep Throat.

The reason why counterfeit jade ornaments have room for survival is that some consumers know little about jade. Industry sources said that these businesses have the same tactics in terms of promotion, that is, the price level, the actual low price to sell, use the psychological that consumers think that online shopping prices are cheaper and more affordable than real shops.

At present, some consumers believe that the price of jade on the market is imaginary, and the price on the Internet is several times lower than that of reality. Even if the goods are received, they are not satisfied because the price is not too high and so-so is accepted. “

The seller means that quartzite jade has been transformed into a "new cui" sold in the online shop selling jade, the reporter found that most of the description of the goods have "mystery." On the homepage of the store, a bracelet called "natural jadeite", consumers can only find that they have nothing to do with jadeite by clicking on the links and carefully reviewing all the product descriptions.

The reporter arbitrarily opened a product link called a natural jade bracelet by the merchant. At the merchandise name, the merchant marked the words "natural jade" and also wrote the words "quartz jade". After a large section of basic knowledge of jadeite was introduced, the merchant stated that his product was quartzite jade, "similar to jadeite."

In a number of stores, the reporter discovered a new term for jade - "New Cui." “What is Xincui? The seller of the online shop means the jade of Xinkeng. Actually, real connoisseurs will not describe the new pit jade. The jadeite is divided into new pits and old pits. In recent years, the amount of old pit jade has become more and more. With less and higher prices, many of the jadeites on the market come from new pits," said Deep Throat.

Interestingly, when these merchants describe "Xin Cui," they will often include a description of quartzite jade in the lengthy discussion. It would be very difficult for consumers to find a completely unrelated explanation for jadeite if it is not for the connoisseur to examine it carefully. “Some businesses have even created and modified, grafted on a definition of jadeite and quartzite in a well-known encyclopedia, and then used screenshots as a product promotion explanation to mix the two together and deceive consumers,” the industry source said.

Certificates and more identification agencies will also be discounted "consumers can not read the description, but can understand the jade identification certificate. Some sellers will add a photo of the certificate in the product description, to win the trust of consumers." "Deep throat" said.

However, these certificates do not fully guarantee the quality of jade jewelry. If consumers carefully look at the certificate, they will find that the certification conclusion on the certificate is "quartzite jade." However, some consumers simply cannot distinguish between jadeite and quartzite jade, and think that the certificate can explain everything.

"Certificate is not false? There must be some, but I believe there will not be so many books on the market. But there are many cases of fake certificates and fake products. Used to cover fakes," said Deep Throat.

It is understood that because the certificate only shows the weight of the jewelry, the unscrupulous traders will buy the fake goods with the same weight and appearance as the goods.

“Actually, there are some types of jade, and the sales price is not as good as the cost of doing a certificate, but if there are a lot of certificates, the appraisal agencies will give a discount. In addition, after the certificate, they can put some similar shapes. The fakes are sold as real goods," said Deep Throat.

Of course, jade jewelry sold online are not all fake products. Some jade jewelry items priced at thousands of yuan have both an authentication certificate and description photographs are also in kind.

When the Expert Weapons does not accept the ambiguous name of online shopping for jadeite, the common problem is that there is a big gap between the product map and the real object. Businesses choose the best angle when shooting the product, and then through the latter stage of technology processing to achieve the beauty of consumers. "Especially in color. In addition, most online shops will be equipped with a large number of promotional maps, so that consumers can produce this merchant genuine, high-quality feeling, and transfer the consumer's attention to the authenticity and quality of the product, so as to achieve the desired effect. "Industry sources said.

Experts said that if consumers cannot distinguish the quality of jade through pictures, they should carefully look at how the business ultimately defines the products they sell. The abstract names such as Kunlun jade and Xinjiang jade are not the national jade names. In online shopping, do not accept equivocal product names. Jade must specify that it is a 'natural A cargo' and must have a corresponding certificate and related post-sale protection. ”

When shopping online, consumers can ask businesses to provide more physical maps, and carefully identify product colors, textures, etc. As the saying goes, it must be hard to beat iron. On weekdays, consumers can go to formal jewelry stores to see more physical objects, longer knowledge, and mastery of a certain degree of jade discrimination. In addition, the quality of Jadeite destined to be expensive, do not believe that the low-cost marketing business marketing tools.
