The collection of old beeswax is much higher than ordinary beeswax. Some shops specializing in amber and beeswax usually have a history of old wax bees, which are not sold, but only used as treasures of town shops. Contrary to the market decline of gold all the way, the price of beeswax has risen in recent years due to its rarity. Especially in some old and collectible old beeswax, the price has increased 10 times in three years.
At present, the price of new beeswax on the market is about 100 yuan per gram. Last year, the price per gram was only 40-50 yuan. The better value of the wax appreciation is faster. The former 300-400 yuan / gram of beeswax has now soared to 2000-3000 yuan / gram, of which the fine old wax is up to several thousand yuan a gram. Its price far exceeds gold. In recent months, on the basis of the original price increase of beeswax, 20-30% growth has occurred again, and the good-quality beeswax has even risen 1-2 times. Now, beeswax has become a dark horse in the collection market, and its sales even exceed the traditional jade and Hetian jade. Many merchants operating jade and Hetian jade also began to add beeswax in the store, and even more, they simply switched to do the beeswax business.
There are many ways to identify beeswax at present, but it can be summarized as follows: The first is to look at the color. The color of the beeswax is very rich. In addition to the common yellow, it also includes red, blue, black, purple, green, etc., and the color looks very comfortable, the color transition is very natural, and the fake beeswax color is often different.
Secondly, when buying amber, first observe the bubbles contained in the body. If the bubbles are mostly round, they are genuine. Generally speaking, the bubbles in the pressed amber are mostly long and flat. When picking amber or beeswax, you can also rub the surface with your hands, and the loose scent will be the real thing; or the needle will burn the red thorn wax, there will be a light and loose flavor, while bakelite and plastic will give you a spicy taste. The smell is sticky and sticks to the needle. Many collectors use this method to check the authenticity of the beeswax.
Put the beeswax in saturated brine. The true amber will float on the water due to its low density, while ordinary plastic, glass, acrylic and bakelite will sink.
Finally, beeswax, like amber organic gemstones, is warm to the touch and does not have a cold feeling, while synthetic beeswax feels as cold as touching jade, glass and other objects.
The maintenance of beeswax and amber is very simple and can be worn and played frequently. Beeswax is afraid of high temperature. Do not leave it in direct sunlight or high temperature for a long time. Because it is too dry, it will cause cracks. Wax is an organic natural fossil. It is afraid of strong acid and alkali, it will be corroded, so it can not be worn. Take a bath of beeswax jewelry, and don't let beeswax come into contact with organic solutions such as nail polish, perfume, hair gel and other alcohol-containing ingredients.
The wax is low in hardness. Be careful not to bump and be cut by sharp objects, or to store it with sharp or hard jewelry such as diamonds. After the wax is stained with dust and sweat, it can be washed with warm water, rubbed with hands, and washed. Wipe dry with a soft cloth such as eyeglass cloth, rub a small amount of olive oil or tea oil to restore the gloss; for beeswax, the best maintenance is long-term wear, often play, because the body's oil can make the surface of the beeswax A layer of bright patina, the more the more bright.
