【Beijing, November 20, 2026】The highly anticipated Poly 2026 Autumn Art Auction concluded successfully yesterday. The total transaction value of this autumn sale reached an impressive RMB 2.85 billion, with a sell-through rate of 82.5%, continuing the steady growth trend of the art market in recent years. Among them, the high-end jadeite jade sector performed exceptionally well, becoming the highlight of this auction and once again confirming the unique position of top-tier jadeite in the hearts of global collectors.
The centerpiece of this autumn sale was undoubtedly several rare jadeite bangles. One piece, named the “Imperial Green Fu Lu Shou Three-Color Jadeite Bangle,” fetched a stunning RMB 128 million, far exceeding its pre-sale estimate of RMB 80 million, with a premium rate as high as 60%. This bangle boasts exceptional clarity and texture, with a rich and pure emerald green color, complemented by auspicious red and yellow jadeite accents. It was ultimately acquired by an anonymous Asian collector. Another “Icy Green Full-Circle Jadeite Bangle” sold for RMB 78 million, a 56% increase from its estimated RMB 50 million, its translucent quality and vibrant green color sparking multiple rounds of intense bidding. In addition, several high-quality jadeite pendants, necklaces, and ornaments also sold for prices well above their estimates, demonstrating strong market demand for top-tier jadeite.
From the data, the total transaction value of the jadeite sector in this autumn sale reached RMB 650 million, accounting for 22.8% of the total transaction value, a 15% increase compared to last year's autumn sale. Among them, the sell-through rate for jadeite lots estimated over RMB 10 million was as high as 95%, while the sell-through rate for jadeite lots estimated between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million also remained at a high of 88%. This series of data indicates that the high-end jadeite market not only maintains its scarcity and value-preserving attributes but also demonstrates strong resilience against risk and investment appeal.
Mr. Li Ming, a senior jadeite market analyst, stated in an interview: “The performance of jadeite at this Poly autumn sale once again validates our judgment that the high-end jadeite market will continue to improve in the coming years. Especially for rare varieties such as top-tier imperial green and glass-like jadeite, their price appreciation potential remains huge. With the accumulation of global wealth and the increasing recognition of traditional Eastern culture, the demand for high-quality jadeite from Asian and even global collectors will remain strong. At the same time, younger generations of collectors are also beginning to pay attention to the artistic and wearable value of jadeite, which injects new vitality into the market.”
Ms. Zhang Hua, Head of Poly Auction's Jewelry and Watches Department, also pointed out: “The success of this auction is inseparable from our strict control over lot selection and accurate prediction of market trends. We found that in addition to traditional imperial green and glass-like jadeite, some uniquely designed and exquisitely crafted special jadeite pieces, such as intricately carved pieces and multi-colored jadeite, are increasingly favored by collectors. This indicates that the future jadeite market will be more diversified, and lots that combine both collection and artistic value will be more competitive.”
Looking ahead, the industry generally believes that against the backdrop of increasing global economic uncertainty, top-tier jadeite, which combines scarcity, cultural attributes, and value preservation, will continue to be an important asset allocation choice for high-net-worth individuals. It is expected that in the 2027 spring sale, the high-end jadeite market will remain active, and the prices of exquisite jadeite are expected to continue to climb steadily, presenting a market pattern where “the strong remain strong.”
