【Beijing, November 15, 2026】The highly anticipated Poly 2026 Autumn Art Auction concluded yesterday, achieving a new record total turnover of RMB 3.25 billion, with an impressive sell-through rate of 88.5%. The high-end jadeite jewelry section performed exceptionally well, with several rare jadeite bracelets selling for prices significantly exceeding their estimates, once again confirming the strong collection and investment potential of the top-tier jade market.
Jadeite bracelets were undoubtedly the focal point of this autumn sale. A magnificent 'Imperial Green Fu Shou Shuang Quan' jadeite bangle, renowned for its intense imperial green hue, delicate texture, and perfect form, attracted fierce bidding from numerous collectors. Starting at RMB 8 million, the bangle ultimately sold for RMB 28.5 million after nearly 30 rounds of bidding, achieving an astounding premium rate of 256%, making it the top lot of the auction. Another ice-kind vibrant green jadeite bangle, with its full form and vivid green color, fetched RMB 12.8 million, a 120% increase over its estimate. Furthermore, several glutinous ice-kind and ice-kind jadeite bangles also sold for 15%-50% above their high estimates, demonstrating the market's sustained demand for high-quality jadeite.
According to Mr. Li Ming, Head of Poly Auction's Jewelry, Watches & Luxury Goods Department: “The outstanding performance of jadeite bracelets in this autumn sale is, on one hand, attributed to the stable global economic recovery in recent years, leading to strong investment demand from high-net-worth individuals for scarce and value-preserving artworks. On the other hand, it also reflects the market's deep understanding of the increasing scarcity of top-tier jadeite resources. Especially for superb jadeite such as Imperial Green and high ice-kind vibrant green, which possess excellent 'kind, transparency, color, and craftsmanship,' their value has far surpassed ordinary jewelry, becoming a hard currency with both artistic appreciation and wealth inheritance attributes.”
Ms. Zhang Hua, a senior jade market analyst, pointed out: “Judging from the data of this Poly Autumn Sale, the high-end jadeite market shows a clear polarization trend. Top-tier, scarce jadeite lots remain strong in price, even repeatedly setting new records, demonstrating strong resilience and investment value. The mid-to-low-end jadeite market, however, is relatively stable with little price fluctuation. This indicates that collectors are more focused on quality and scarcity when choosing jadeite, rather than blindly pursuing it. In the future, as jadeite rough resources become further depleted, exquisite jadeite with collection value will have greater appreciation potential.”
The success of this auction not only added a significant highlight to Poly Auction's annual performance but also injected new vitality and confidence into the entire jade market. Industry insiders generally believe that in the coming years, high-end jadeite, particularly jadeite bracelets with historical provenance and unique aesthetic value, will continue to be a popular choice in the art investment field. However, investors also need to be wary of market risks, make rational judgments, and seek advice from reputable auction houses and experts with professional appraisal capabilities to ensure the stability of their investments.
