41. Identification

Qin Xiyue drove to Lae's largest jewelry and jade store.

This jewelry and jade store has an independent building in the downtown area of Laicheng, with garages on the first and second floors, shops on the flat street floor and the third floor on the second floor, and rented office buildings on the upper floor.

Qin Xiyue parked the car on the first floor, took the elevator to the Pingjie floor, and after entering the store, a beautiful salesman wearing a cheongsam greeted her: "Hello lady, Donghui Jewelry welcomes you." ”

Qin Xiyue saluted her and went straight to the point: "Hello, I have a few pieces of jade that need to be identified. ”

The cheongsam salesman made a gesture of please, half a step ahead of Qin Xiyue and led the way in front: "Madam, please come with me, we are here, the first floor is mainly engaged in gold and silver and other precious metals, the second floor is mainly engaged in jewelry and jade, and the third floor is mainly engaged in jewelry and jade identification and processing for visitors. ”

"That's nature. Qin Xiyue didn't think it was strange at all, if there was no charge for appraisal, she was afraid that someone would make trouble, and she would casually take a little rotten stone every day for people to appraise, so how would that person do business.

She followed the cheongsam salesman up the escalator to the third floor.

There were no beautiful cheongsam salesmen on the third floor, and the only staff members were men, the youngest in their thirties, and the oldest looked to be in his sixties.

The cheongsam salesman led Qin Xiyue towards the youngest staff member: "Master Gong, this lady needs to identify gemstones." ”

Master Gong looked at Qin Xiyue, he didn't have a standard professional smile like a cheongsam salesman, but pointed to the price list hanging on the wall expressionlessly.

Qin Xiyue took a look, the jadeite identification cost was 400 yuan, which was not expensive.

She didn't say anything more, and pulled out the broken red jadeite in a crisper bag from her black canvas bag.

Master Gong looked at the crumpled fresh-keeping bag, his brows furrowed, but he didn't have a seizure, but took out a wooden tray from under the counter, with a piece of black gold velvet on the tray, and said to Qin Xiyue: "Put it up, take a picture by yourself and keep a bottom, although we have monitoring here, but you can always rest assured to keep a photo yourself." ”

Qin Xiyue shook the broken red feather in the fresh-keeping bag onto the golden velvet, and the stone that originally looked like broken glass suddenly rose tall, faintly revealing the taste of being expensive.

Master Gong only glanced at it and said to the cheongsam salesman: "You go to open the bill, jadeite identification." ”

The cheongsam salesman responded sweetly and went downstairs to open an order.

Master Gong didn't raise his head, put on white gloves, took out a magnifying glass, took one of the gravel in his hand, and used the magnifying glass to look at it over and over.

After inspecting one piece, he looked at several other pieces of slightly larger gravel, looked up at Qin Xiyue inexplicably, and then lowered his head and replaced the magnifying glass with a concentrating flashlight, and lit and detected each piece of gravel.

After inspecting every piece of rubble, Master Gong raised his head and sighed faintly.

Qin Xiyue thought of the stones piled up in half of the bathroom, and her heart couldn't help but burst: "What's the matter, Master Gong?

Master Gong's eyes became even more resentful, and he said with a bit of indignation: "How did you make a piece of glass red jade rough stone look like this? Even if you use a hammer to smash it, it won't be smashed like this, right?"

Qin Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Isn't it fake?"

Master Gong suddenly became angry: Is this a question of truth or falsehood? Now the question is whether to use a hammer to open the jade and destroy the heavens!

He wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought that this superb red jade belonged to someone else, and it was her freedom to love it, so he could only be anxious, so he thought about it and nodded his head boringly: "Yes, it is a real glass red jadeite, and the water is the best." ”

Qin Xiyue didn't understand Master Gong's sadness at all, and asked in a good mood when she heard this: "Then can you help me process it here?"

This sentence stabbed the hornet's nest, and Master Gong almost roared: "Processing? Do you know that if this piece of red jade is not smashed like this, it is possible for my master to carve it out with leather like this, it is possible to participate in the World Jewelry Competition and win the grand prize, even if you smash it in half, you can still save it, and now it is like this, how do you want to process it?"

Qin Xiyue was speechless for a while, not knowing how she had provoked this Master Gong, which made him look furious.

The oldest man at the other counter heard the commotion, hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Master Gong was still snorting angrily, pointing to the tray and saying to the old man, "Master, look at it yourself, I'm distressed." ”

The old man smiled apologetically at Qin Xiyue, put on his gloves and picked up a piece of red fei and looked at it, then looked at it with a spotlight flashlight, and then said to Qin Xiyue: "Little girl, it's rude, my little apprentice is happy to see hunting, it's rare to see such a good quality red fei, so I feel distressed, please don't mind, these red fei, what do you want to process it into?"

This piece of material is the size of a fist, and even if it is broken, the volume of the usable part is not small, and there is still room for processing.

Qin Xiyue smiled a little abruptly: "So that's the case, it's my fault, I didn't know it was really in stock when I bought it, so I smashed it directly with a hammer, I still have a piece of rough stone there that is exactly the same as this one, why don't I take it to the two of you another day?"

Master Gong said disapplausively: "The best red jade is hard to find, even if the skin is exactly the same, there is no expectation inside." Forget it, this is your jadeite, you don't feel sorry for yourself, what do I feel sorry for, this is my master, surnamed Song, the honorary vice president of the National Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association, jade processing you ask him is asking the right person. ”

Qin Xiyue didn't know anything about the jewelry and jade industry, so she didn't understand what the title of Old Man Song was for, but the other party was an elder, and she naturally saluted him: "Hello Mr. Song, I want to process these broken red jade into ring noodles, use gold or platinum as a base, and make a complete set of jewelry, preferably a style suitable for the elderly, is it okay?"

Although this piece of red jade was opened with a hammer, it was the first piece of jade she opened, which was very commemorative, so she planned to use these red jade to create a set of jewelry for her grandmother.

Old man Song said: "Yes, if you choose a ready-made pattern style, the processing fee will be cheaper, and if it is tailor-made, it will increase a design fee." ”

Qin Xiyue hurriedly said: "Do you need to be present in person for tailor-made? I want to surprise my grandmother." ”

Old man Song smiled when he heard this: "What a filial good boy, custom jewelry does not need to be present in person, do you have a photo of your grandmother? ”

Master Gong said curiously: "Master, aren't you not taking the job?"

"I just don't take ordinary jobs, this is not ordinary jobs. Old Man Song said with a smile.

How many jewelry designers have never touched it in their lives, can they be ordinary?

Once the piece is made, it can easily become a family heirloom, worn by generations of hostesses, and attracted attention in various social occasions.
