【Beijing, November 15, 2026】The highly anticipated Poly 2026 Autumn Auction recently concluded successfully, with the “Brilliant Green – Exquisite Jadeite Bangle” specialist sale performing particularly well. This once again affirmed the strong resilience and collecting enthusiasm of the high-end jadeite market amidst the current economic climate. This specialist sale featured 45 carefully selected jadeite bangles, with 38 ultimately sold, achieving a high sell-through rate of 84.4%. The total transaction value exceeded 280 million RMB, far surpassing pre-sale estimates.
Highlights were abundant in this specialist sale, with several rare jadeite bangles fetching high prices. Among them, an 'Imperial Green' jadeite bangle, boasting excellent clarity, texture, and color, was hammered at an astonishing 82 million RMB, becoming the highest-priced lot of the sale, an impressive 36.7% premium over its pre-sale estimate (approximately 60 million RMB). This bangle, with a diameter of 58 mm, featured a smooth and full bar, intensely vibrant and evenly distributed green color, meeting collection-grade standards. Its rarity and perfect condition were key to its high price. Another icy-translucent 'Yang Green' blessing bangle sold for 35 million RMB, a 25% increase, demonstrating the market's continued pursuit of high-quality icy-translucent jadeite.
From the data, the average transaction price for this jadeite bangle specialist sale reached 7.36 million RMB, an increase of 13.2% compared to the average transaction price of similar specialist sales at Poly's 2025 Autumn Auction (approximately 6.5 million RMB), indicating that the value of high-end jadeite is steadily appreciating. Particularly, top-tier jadeite with excellent clarity, texture, and color has shown strong resistance to depreciation and significant appreciation potential. In this auction, 5 lots sold for over 20 million RMB, accounting for nearly half of the total transaction value, further highlighting the top-tier collectors' desire for scarce resources.
Mr. Li Ming, a senior auction industry analyst, pointed out: “The success of this Poly Autumn Auction's jadeite bangle specialist sale sends several important signals. Firstly, despite global economic challenges, the market for top-tier art and jewelry, especially culturally rich and scarce jadeite, remains a preferred asset allocation for high-net-worth individuals. Secondly, the market's aesthetic standards for jadeite are increasingly sophisticated, with collectors tending to pursue perfect pieces that excel in 'clarity, texture, color, and craftsmanship,' rather than blindly chasing a single element. Finally, the professional selection and global promotion capabilities of brand auction houses also provide strong guarantees for the value discovery and liquidity of high-end jadeite.”
Professor Wang, a renowned jade identification expert, also stated: “The success of this auction reflects the market's rational return and deep recognition of jadeite value. The high price achieved by the 'Imperial Green' bangle is not accidental; it represents the ultimate aesthetics and scarcity of jadeite. In the future, we expect the prices of top-tier jadeite bangles to continue to grow steadily, while the mid-to-low-end market may face greater differentiation. Investors and collectors should pay more attention to quality and provenance.”
Looking ahead, with the continuous accumulation of global wealth and the increasing influence of Asian culture, jadeite, as a representative of oriental jewelry, will further highlight its collection and investment value. Poly Auction's impressive performance in this autumn auction undoubtedly injects strong confidence into the 2027 jadeite market, signaling that the high-end jadeite market will continue to maintain its unique charm and strong growth momentum.
