Chapter 495: Five Pairs of Unparalleled Bracelets
An artistic treasure, this is for today's people, but what if it is placed in the Qing Dynasty?
The painstaking efforts of a few top craftsmen in the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a period of time, a product that will satisfy the superiors in charge of the affairs, a fine piece of jewelry that may be given to a certain concubine, a small tool or gadget that the Qianlong Emperor could look at at most, and even bother to look at......
The skill has been lost, and this is a skill that serves a very few. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When Zhang Nan has spent the magical experience of ordinary people, rich people, debt-ridden poor people, rich people, and the world's top richest people, he thinks that it doesn't matter whether such a top craft is lost to ordinary people.
Even if there were, it wasn't something that the general public could enjoy.
The skills that can only be enjoyed by the privileged class and a very small number of people are gone, and it is better to spend time and energy on creating real social wealth and productivity.
Why is Zhang Nan not interested in red, yellow, or green?
Because none of these are in production, it's as simple as that.
But I will be a rich person, or the richest kind, and I always like good things.
Seeing that my brother-in-law also thought it was a good object, he put the bracelet back in the jewelry box and handed it to him: "Give it to my sister." ā
Xiang Weirong was also polite, and took it and put it aside.
Yes.
It's just a piece of jewelry, regardless of whether it belongs to the Qing Palace Office, if this thing is hidden and tucked away as a treasure, then it will be like those shady treasures in Zhang Nan's underground ammunition depot, which will completely lose its own value.
Jewelry, that's what you wear.
Zhang Nan's women are not short of jewelry, and it is good for my sister.
"When you go back next month, that custom set of diamond jewelry should be completed......"
Only one diamond bracelet was made, and then the sister with a big belly could wear this Qing Palace bracelet with her other hand, which was absolutely extravagant.
The combination of Chinese and foreign countries to follow the trend, a very popular theory in the late 80s.
......
This bracelet is so exquisite, so delicate that the little devil knows that turning it into gold is a heavenly thing.
However, probably the devils robbed too many things in Burma, and they didn't send these small treasures to the mainland in advance, and in the end they could only withdraw to the Philippines with those gold anchors.
Such treasures were not shipped away first, you can imagine how much Dog Day grabbed at the beginning!
The bracelet returned to her sister, and Zhang Nan opened another box.
Glittering, it is a gold bracelet: not a common road goods, it is a very fine kind.
The gold chisel double dragon play bead bracelet, the inner diameter is less than 6 cm, and it is processed by chisel gold technology.
The surface is chiseled, the head of the double dragon is opposite, the mouth is opened, and a pearl is inlaid, which means "two dragons playing with pearls".
Fine, very fine, three-dimensional, the craftsmanship is a little worse than that bracelet.
There is a stamp on the inner wall, and if you look closely, it is "harmony".
has been with Zhang Nan for a long time, and Xiang Weirong also knows that this is a folk gold shop, but looking at the craftsmanship and style, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can use in the feudal era.
"Republican?"
Zhang Nan shook his head, "The craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty, the goods of the Republic of China are much coarser than this.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the scale of the Qing Palace Office was reduced a lot, and many jewelry were processed by top folk brands.
This is not necessarily customized by the Qing Dynasty court, those small countries also have envoys in the capital all the year round, and they can also customize them for their kings and concubines, and it is not against the law......"
The rules of China are big, if the Burmese envoy wants to set a pair for his wife, it is possible, who knows what the rules of those barbarians were at that time.
If Zhang Nan is the envoy, it is estimated that he will also make some jewelry for his wife.
Put it away, these bracelets are all wearable, and putting them in place properly will make those big-name gold jewelry jewelers stunned!
I opened another one, and it was still a pair of bracelets: a gold-inlaid Nine Dragons bead bracelet.
Needless to say, this style is still the craft of the Qing Dynasty in China, but this pair of bracelets is very large, with an inner diameter of more than 7 centimeters, circular, and the use of chiseled gold and inlay technology.
The surface of the bracelet is engraved with nine small grids of equal size, and the dragon with a large pearl is engraved on the inside of the grid, and the edge is engraved with water waves.
Looking at the inner wall, it is engraved with the stamp of "Juhua Pure Gold", which is also the craftsmanship of the folk gold shop.
Zhang Nan simply opened a few boxes in a row, and there were three pairs of gold bracelets from the Qing Dynasty: one of them was not a folk craft--- gold inlaid four dragons and beads bracelet, with an inner diameter of about six and a half centimeters.
The bracelet is processed with chisel gold, tired silk and dotted emerald technology, and each ring is wound with a dragon double, the dragon's head is opposite, and the mouth is opened to hold a pearl.
The edge of the chiseled bead pattern is decorated, or the auspicious "double dragon play beads".
What is very special is that this pair of bracelets is partially decorated with blue dotted emerald, and the inner ring is full of chiseled Ganoderma lucidum patterns, and the workmanship is more exquisite than the first two pairs of gold bracelets, which is the best of the best!
"This pair is incredible, it can be incomparable! It should be the craftsmanship of the office, and the time may be earlier than the first two pairs.
Folk craftsmen don't have this ability, and it may be something given to small countries. ā
Zhang Nan looked left and right for a while, then put the box back and handed it to his brother-in-law again.
Xiang Weirong didn't ask for it now, and said with a smile: "You kid has so many women, it's not easy to level a bowl of water, keep it."
Your sister is actually not a person who loves jewelry, and this bracelet is estimated to not be worn once in a few years, so she won't need it. ā
It also makes sense that such jewelry is not something that people can wear every day, it is too fine.
This will be deformed as long as it is a little bumped, and there is no place to repair it if there is a problem, so it is an artifact that can only be worn out on very rare occasions to reflect the identity taste and pretend to be forced!
My brother-in-law will not be polite to himself, he never tells lies, and if he says that he doesn't want it, he must not do it.
Put it in a box and put it away, to whom, or temporarily, to collect it later.
The fourth pair of gold bracelets is also a gold-inlaid four-dragon play bead bracelet, with an inner diameter slightly larger than the previous pair by two or three millimeters, and the process is made of chiseled gold and tired silk.
However, there is no pattern in the bracelet ring, and the gold and tired silk are combined with the ring to make the four dragons double winding.
The dragon's head is inlaid with a large pearl, and the dragon's eyes are inlaid with small pearls, and the edges are decorated with small patterns.
The fifth pair is a gold-inlaid double dragon play bead bracelet, with an inner diameter of 6.5 cm, using chiseled gold and inlay technology.
The outer ring chisel is in the same direction as the double dragon pattern, the dragon tail is opposite, the chisel fire bead is inlaid with a pearl, and the edge of the chisel water wave pattern is still the meaning of "double dragon playing with pearls".
The inner wall of the bracelet is engraved with the stamp of "Juhua Pure Gold".
"It seems that this Juhua was one of the best brands in the capital at the beginning, and you can ask when you return to China next time, and the old capital may still know. ā
"What, you want to go shopping for goods?"
Zhang Nan shook his head, "No, just ask if there is anyone who has passed down this craft." In the past few years, there are bracelets of this style in those foreign trade export jewelry, but they are not so fine.
It would be good for my jewelry company to have two craftsmen who can make these kinds of bracelets......"
The Western world is heavy on labor, gold is trivial, a pair of bracelets need only two or three thousand dollars of gold, and the process may cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
It's not about the money, it's about the name!
