Chapter 386: Problem Diamond Ring

Walking into the room, Meng Zitao saw that there were many Bogu shelves in the room, but they seemed to be a little messy, and the things were not categorized, so they were placed on the Bogu shelves so casually. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Meng Zitao was a little inexplicable, it stands to reason that Uncle Wang's friend is also very powerful, how could he put things like this?

At this time, Zhu Jinqi first apologized to Meng Zitao: "Master Meng, I'm really sorry, my brother has a bad temper, please forgive me." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said that it was nothing, he and Zhu Jinlun did not have a deep hatred, and he had to be angry with such a person who did not match his life.

Besides, just now Zhu Jinlun's stunned and angry appearance made Meng Zitao feel very happy.

Next, Meng Zitao began to identify the things in the room, and at this time, he understood the reason why the antiques seemed to be placed in a mess, because these antiques were placed by value, and things with a value of almost a range would be placed together.

Meng Zitao guessed that this might be Uncle Wang's friend, because he felt that none of his children liked antiques, so he deliberately placed them like this, so that they would not spoil things.

asked Zhu Jinqi next to him, and Zhu Jinqi told him that this was indeed the reason, and before his father died, he wrote down the value of things and handed them to his mother.

However, because time has passed, the value of these things has changed a lot, and some things have risen in value quickly, and some things have risen slowly, so they will ask people to come and help.

Meng Zitao nodded, and then looked at it. Although the probability of fakes is relatively low, Meng Zitao is not sloppy and takes every piece seriously.

However, due to Meng Zitao's relatively fast speed, he had already identified one-third of his work in just a while, which made Zhu Jinlun secretly frown.

Of course, Meng Zitao would not be without this consideration, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, let me say this, I can be responsible for the value of the things here, if there is a problem, you can come to me, and I will compensate you for your losses." ”

"Of course, the antique market in more places is a little different, and the price will be different, and I can only guarantee that it is in a more reasonable range, if it must be in line with someone's price, then I don't guarantee it. In addition, the price of antiques is also changing with each passing day, so don't feel wrong after a year and a half, come to me to settle accounts. ”

"Of course not. Zhu Jinqi laughed, since Meng Zitao said so, he had nothing to worry about. Thinking about it, Wang Zhixuan is still quite reliable, how can he introduce an unreliable person to come over?

While appraising, Meng Zitao wrote the price on sticky paper and pasted it where it had no impact. Since the collections in the room are basically more than 40,000 or 50,000 fine products, the number is actually not much, and Meng Zitao is fast, and when it is almost noon, he has already finished it.

Zhu Jinqi looked at a few collections that he had inquired about the price during this time, although they came and went slightly, but as Meng Zitao said, they were basically the same, which made Zhu Jinqi satisfied at the same time, but also admired Meng Zitao.

You must know that the collections in the room can be very messy, including porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting works and stationery supplies, and the average appraiser will basically only be proficient in one or two, which is why Zhu Jinqi and they were very surprised to see that only one appraiser, Meng Zitao, came. (Meng Zitao just introduced the army)

Now, Meng Zitao has actually accurately identified these kinds of antiques, how can Zhu Jinqi not feel admired? He even wants to open Meng Zitao's brain to see how it grows.

Zhu Jinqi took Meng Zitao back to the living room, and Meng Zitao noticed that at this time, the table was already full of delicious food.

Zhu Jinlun frowned and asked, "It's all already been identified?"

Meng Zitao was quite displeased with Zhu Jinlun, and directly said the words he had just told Zhu Jinqi again.

Meng Zitao said so, what else could Zhu Jinlun say, but this also made him very unhappy with Meng Zitao in his heart, and he thought angrily, should he go to find another appraisal expert and come over to appraise it, if Meng Zitao made a mistake in the appraisal, then don't blame him for being polite.

However, after thinking about it, Zhu Jinlun gave up this plan again and asked an expert to come over, but he didn't plan to pay the money.

Now that Meng Zitao is finished, everyone is ready to eat, and the old lady is warmly invited, and of course Meng Zitao can't refuse.

Although today is the old lady's birthday, the people present also seem very happy, but with such a person as Zhu Jinlun, not to mention others, Meng Zitao felt a little awkward, so he chose to ignore it.

Because of Meng Zitao's identity, everyone chatted for a while, and when it came to identification, Meng Zitao basically said what he could say.

After chatting, Zhu Jinqi's wife took out the gold jewelry she was wearing and asked Meng Zitao to appraise it.

For Meng Zitao, of course, there was no difficulty in this, and after taking it in his hand and looking at it for a while, he began to comment, and in general, he did not suffer.

After that, Zhu Shuyun also took out a bracelet from his hand and handed it to Meng Zitao, asking him to take a look.

When the bracelet came into view, Meng Zitao knew that this was a tourmaline bracelet.

Tourmaline is a kind of tourmaline family that can reach the jewelry level, usually blue, red, brown, colorless, green, multi-color and other varieties, in China, the word "tourmaline" first appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Legend has it that tourmaline was particularly loved by Cixi, and there were many tourmaline jewelry among Cixi's funeral goods, including precious varieties such as watermelon tourmaline.

The bracelet is mainly made of 18 tourmaline beads, decorated with two jade beads on the top and bottom, and a reddish-brown tuanshou pattern square tourmaline pendant is worn underneath the bracelet.

After a while, Meng Zitao said: "This is a tourmaline bracelet, the quality is good, the age is also a little long, the production time is about the end of the Qing Dynasty, the value should be about 90,000 to 100,000." ”

Meng Zitao's words made Zhu Shuyun and his wife look at each other, obviously the price shocked them.

Zhu Jinqi's wife smiled: "Shuyun, I didn't expect you to carry a bracelet of 100,000 yuan every day, and you are not afraid of bumping into it." ”

Zhu Shuyun came back to her senses: "How can there be, this bracelet is the ancestral heirloom of the Aiping family, I don't know how much it is, if I know that the bracelet is worth so much money, how dare I wear it!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Shuyun herself felt a little afraid, in case she bumped into it, she really wanted to cry without tears.

took the bracelet, but Zhu Shuyun didn't dare to wear it anymore, and carefully put the bracelet away.

Seeing that Zhu Shuyun actually had such an unexpected joy, Zhu Jinlun and his wife felt very uncomfortable, so Zhu Jinlun's wife took off the diamond ring and necklace for Meng Zitao to identify, these two things are platinum, and the diamond is big enough, and the value is not low.

"Hmph, what's the big deal, my diamond ring is more expensive than yours!"

Zhu Jinlun's wife was very disdainful in her heart, and asked a little proudly: "Master Meng, my diamond ring is VS2 level, what do you think?"

There are several grades of diamonds, the highest of which is FL Flawless, where VS Slightly Flawed refers to very small imperfections visible when the diamond is viewed under 10x gem magnification. The difference between VS1 and VS2 is that the latter may have tiny cotton dots or small stubble, etc.

Meng Zitao took the diamond ring in front of him to observe, the diamond ring was well maintained, it looked as shiny as new, and the platinum ring was set with relatively large diamonds, shining in the light.

However, Meng Zitao's sharp eyes immediately found a problem, and then, he took out a professional tool to observe, and that problem had nowhere to hide under the observation of a magnifying glass. And, in addition to diamonds, there are also problems with rings.

Looking at the smug look of Zhu Jinlun's wife, Meng Zitao was a little worried, if she knew the result, what kind of scene would it be, but everyone looked at him, and he could only say it.

Meng Zitao said: "This diamond ring, in fact, has a groove of about 2 millimeters on the edge of the diamond, you see, it is obviously damaged under 10x magnification, and it can also be found after careful observation with the naked eye." However, since the diamond was partially obscured by the setting after setting, it was almost impossible for consumers without specialized knowledge to notice the flaw. ”

At this time, Zhu Jinlun and his wife were already dumbfounded, Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, and then came to a conclusion: "Strictly speaking, this ring can only be rated as P-grade, which is two levels lower than the VS2 level you said. ”

In fact, Meng Zitao has heard a lot of about this kind of situation from Cheng Qiheng, for example, there is an obvious crack in the center of the diamond countertop, but it has been quietly raised by the merchant by a level. Some diamonds can be seen with the naked eye that there are multiple black spots hidden in the diamond, and the clarity marked on them is also SI. The salesperson also said that the SI grade diamonds were all flawed.

In fact, according to the relevant regulations, the SI grade (small blemish grade) refers to the small blemish characteristics that can be easily detected with a 10x magnifying glass, while the P grade is the heavy flaw grade, and the P grade diamond is the lowest of all grades, defined as having impurities, fissures and blemishes that are visible to the naked eye inside, and this P grade diamond can no longer be called a gemstone. If a diamond has more than one visible black dot, it can only be classified as P.

As for the price difference in the middle, it is obvious, for example, if the clarity of a diamond with a score of 80 is reduced from VS2 to SI1, the price difference can reach more than 5,000 yuan. Of course, the diamond in front of me is more than 80 points in size, and the price difference is too big.

After half a ring, Zhu Jinlun's wife came back to her senses and asked through gritted teeth: "In other words, this diamond ring is not worth much?"

"It's not that it's not valuable, it's just that relatively speaking, the value difference is quite large. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Let's talk about the ring again......

Before Mencius could finish speaking, Zhu Jinlun shouted: "What! You said that there is a problem with the ring? Isn't it platinum?" )
