In the form of a cocktail party.

in lieu of an auction.

And only these Yankees like it the most.

Frank Müller, who is said to have come from Sotheby's, started his work.

The old man in a low-key black suit looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Hey, everyone, good evening." Welcome to a great auction!Oh, and come and see what our first lot is?!"

A professional auctioneer will not ramble with you, he will directly choose the theme of the auction and follow his voice.

Behind him.

Accompanied by two security guards, a respectable waiter walked up with a small box on a tray.

"A priceless treasure! A sapphire necklace once worn by Marie Antoinette, Queen of France! We must admit that Her Royal Highness Queen Marie owned countless pieces of jewelry, the most famous of which are the two largest diamond earrings in the world, weighing 14.25 and 20.34 carats respectively. ”

"But this sapphire necklace is indeed owned by His Highness. It has a clear line, and after the death of Her Royal Highness and Her Majesty, she was succeeded by their daughter Mary Theresa. ”

After her death in 1851, Madame Marie Theresa gave some of her jewels to her nephews and nieces in Italy. This sapphire necklace, one of these jewels, was put up for auction by the nephews and descendants of Madame Marie Teresa's niece......"

Sotheby's, at the invitation of Goldman Sachs, appraised the jewelry necklace. We admit with the reputation of Sotheby's that this sapphire necklace is real!"

"This rare treasure doesn't have a name yet. It was brilliant and beautiful, but Her Royal Highness had too many of these things. It is impossible for her to choose a name for every one, and it is impossible for every name to be handed down to the present. ”

So, its name will be chosen by its new owner. This is a great opportunity to put your name into history. Maybe many years later, it will be put up at auction again, and its presentation will be transformed into Queen Mary's jewel named after so-and-so!"

“……”

After some fanciful boasting.

Frank Müller smiled and waved his hand, and the security guard standing next to him immediately opened the box on the tray in the handsome waiter's hand, and the lamppost with a spotlight immediately hit it.

After the luxurious and exquisite box was opened, a jeweled necklace reflecting a beautiful blue light reflected in the light lay quietly in the red suede cushion, as if telling the prosperity of its owner's court.

Beautiful jewelry.

Plus the history that was determined.

It immediately caused an exclamation from some of the ladies who attended the drinking party!

"Wow! It's so beautiful. ”

"Honey, I think I deserve it! This is Queen Mary's sapphire necklace, I want it!"

"No matter how much money I want!

"It's beautiful!"

“……”

Marie Antoinette was the queen of Louis 16 of France, and her reputation cannot be said to be very good. But her beauty, wealth, and profligacy are relatively famous in European and American history.

Over the years, there have also been a number of literary works describing the life of the French queen.

Although the reputation is not good.

But the various jewelry she left behind is still very popular.

Even a literary like Sophie Marceau can't help but be moved by this beautiful necklace.

"It's really beautiful!, isn't it?" she whispered to her friend, Luc Besson, "take it and close your eyes." Maybe you're in the court of the 18th century, feeling the life of the aristocracy. ”

Queen Mary was guillotined with her husband, Louis XVI. Luc Besson said with a smile.

"Hey, it's not a good joke!" said Sophie Marceau.

"Okay. I apologize. Luc Besson laughed before continuing: "Queen Mary's things are never cheap. Whether it was in her time or passed down to the present...... I remember the last auction of Her Royal Highness's thing, a small one with her face on it, was auctioned in London for £180,000...... Hey, £180,000! That's just a little silver pendant, it's not even gold!"

Sophie Marceau nodded.

She certainly understands that, too.

Right now.

Frank Müller has announced the auction price for the sapphire necklace that Queen Mary is said to have once owned.

"Alright. Now let's announce the price, the starting price is $400,000......"

$500,000 is actually a reasonable price, after all, it is 1990, and all kinds of antique jewelry and jewelry have not been exaggerated for tens of millions of dollars later.

And this sapphire necklace.

Although it is very beautiful, the sapphire on it is not very big, but it is more beautifully made and looks very beautiful.

If it weren't for the addition of Queen Mary's name, it is estimated that a sapphire necklace of this quality could fetch up to $100,000 in a jewelry store.

$500,000.

It's a bit expensive.

After the price is announced.

Frank Müller smiled again and said, "Hey...... Now I'm counting 123, and the gentlemen or ladies who want to bring this baby back to their own homes can pay your price. ”

“one 、Two、 three!”

Peng!

With a hammer sound.

Franck Müller's voice was loud: "Gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen!"

His voice just fell.

A voice sounded in the corner: "400,000!"

Hear the voice.

Abel, who was laughing with Little Flying Shoes and asking him if he wanted to buy it back for his wife, couldn't help but look up.

looked at the source of the sound.
