“In the past two years, the price of lapis lazuli has risen very fast. For example, this bracelet has only sold for 600 yuan in the previous year, and it has now risen to about 3,000 yuan.” For the reason of this phenomenon, 闽龙国际生活广场聚源珠宝阁The boss Chen Yu bluntly said, "It is people's constant pursuit of beauty that has spawned a popular consumer market for lapis lazuli." Chen Yu told reporters that a few years ago, lapis lazuli was only a plaything for male collectors, and few people regarded it as jewelry. As more and more jewellery brands use lapis lazuli to make necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other accessories, for a time, its reputation in the jewelry industry has soared, and it has a lot of female fans. “Since 2015, many female customers have come to the store to ask for information about lapis lazuli. Many of them even directly name the lapis lazuli jewelry.”

In addition to market factors, the rise in raw material prices has also affected the terminal price of lapis lazuli. "Compared with two years ago, the purchase price of lapis lazuli is twice as high, and the selling price has also risen." Chen Hao said that since China is not the origin of lapis lazuli, and the quantity is scarce, the purchase price is naturally higher and higher. .

However, not all lapis lazuli jewelry is expensive, Chen Hao showed reporters two lapis lazuli bracelets of the same size and shape, one of which has a purchase price of only 150 yuan, while the other purchase price is as high as 1,800 yuan. So, what is the difference between these two bracelets? "The 150 yuan is a copy." Chen Yu openly told reporters that with the sales of lapis lazuli jewelry, some unscrupulous merchants began to use sodalite and blue Stone, blue copper ore or dyed jasper, spinel, jade, marble, etc. to impersonate lapis lazuli, jewelry made of such materials, the price is much cheaper than natural lapis lazuli jewelry. "The purpose of my entry into this imitation bracelet is to help consumers identify the truth and truth more intuitively." Chen Yu said while introducing the identification method to reporters. He said that from the perspective of grain, natural lapis lazuli presents a certain golden grain due to the inclusion of pyrite, and it is unevenly distributed. Under the sun, it will shine like gold, and replicas rarely have these. Characteristics; from the color point of view, the color of natural lapis lazuli is blue like the sky. After the imitation of the imitation product, the color is mostly dark blue. If it is soaked or wiped with alcohol, it will fade; from the perspective of density, the density of natural lapis lazuli is larger. When placed in water, it will sink to the bottom immediately, and the imitation density will be lighter, and the water will become floating or semi-sinking.

Chen Yu said that even natural lapis lazuli jewelry, its quality has advantages and disadvantages. “High-quality lapis lazuli jewelry is pure, uniform, with few impurities, tough texture, delicate handfeel, no cracks; if the color is interlaced with white stone or white spots and the texture is rough and cracked, the quality will be greatly reduced.” According to Chen Wei In order to assess the quality of lapis lazuli jewelry, we must also pay attention to cut, shape and volume. “In general, under the same quality conditions, the high quality lapis lazuli jewelry is neatly cut, polished, smooth, round and round, unique in shape and bulky; otherwise it is not top grade.”
