Chapter 315: Emerald Down
Looking at the so-called emerald ring in his hand, the entire ring setting is made of white gold, and the emerald gems inlaid in it are faintly allure. It's just that such green, under Jia Yidao's eyes, is a little fake green, and there is nothing to hide!
Although, in his heart, Jia Nidao sighed a little that it was not very easy to deal with a gemstone like emerald, but, in the final analysis, Jia Nidao still felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, the Miss Wang in front of him didn't send some other things that he didn't know at all. Otherwise, Jia Rudao is afraid that he will be even more "ugly".
After recalling it carefully, Jia Rudao faintly remembered that there are many ways to identify emeralds, such as using Chelsea color filters, heavy liquid methods, using a bowl of water to observe, using braziers, etc., but if it is only judged by eyes, it is still not easy to identify. This is also what Lao Wang said, although in the jewelry and jade testing center, jewelry of any substance can be very accurately identified. However, once it comes to the appraisal conference, or in the ordinary jewelry trading market, the appraisal of jewelry and jade is a troublesome matter.
Each industry has its own underlying rules.
You can't always take the gem microscope with you to the jewelry store to pick out the jewelry you want, right? But anyone who has been in the jewelry and jade shop knows that there is an unwritten rule when trading jewelry, and the buyer and seller basically don't bring these instruments, otherwise it will be very shameless. People will also think that you are a rookie, and you will ask for a sky-high price with one mouth, and it is difficult to do business normally.
Or, you can simply bring a professional connoisseur and go with you. However, this is still a very small group. Even a person like Jia Rudao who wanders in the antique shop, if he chooses jade and the like, he still has some eyesight, but if he chooses other calligraphy and paintings, I'm afraid, he is still blind and can't identify anything.
So, most of the time, the jewelry and jade market, like the antique market, is chaotic. Not to mention those on the bright side, what a document and multiple jewelry are used together, etc., just bullying customers who don't know how to do it, and selling some real things that are inferior to the first grade as a higher-grade thing, few people can identify it!
Of course, there are many customers who have been deceived, but in the same way, the attraction of these jewelry and jade itself is also very huge, let's say it is the current emerald gemstone.
Legend has it that 6,000 years ago, people in ancient Babylon dedicated it to the statue of the goddess. You know, that was 6,000 years ago. It can be seen that the love for jewelry and jade has existed since ancient times! In the ancient Chaldean kingdom of the Persian Gulf, women have a special fondness for emerald jewelry.
Even thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks also liked to use emeralds as decorations. Similarly, the Chinese's love for emeralds is not inferior to that of people around the world. Don't talk about it, let's just say that the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties especially like emeralds. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty regarded it as as as precious as the golden green cat's eye, and there was a saying that "the crown needs the cat's eye and emerald". The jade belt of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty is inlaid with an extra-large emerald, which is now hidden in the Dingling Museum of the Ming Ming Tombs. As for the more famous Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, the gold brocade quilt covered after her death was inlaid with a large number of pearls and other precious stones, and there were also two emerald gemstones weighing about 5 yuan each.
In addition, emerald is known as the birthstone of May, symbolizing luck and happiness, and wearing it will bring people a lifetime of peace. Therefore, more often, emerald is also a commemorative stone for the 5th and 55th wedding anniversaries.
However, don't look at the name of the emerald, it is very old-fashioned, and it can be regarded as an "emerald". Nowadays, many young people will think that this gemstone can only be worn by grandmothers or older people. In society, it is also worn by older people. In fact, this is not the case.
Because to put it bluntly, "emerald" is also an imported product from the West, and it was first transliterated from "Zumurud" in ancient Persian.
Therefore, it is not only for older people to wear it, but also for young people.
At this moment, when I saw the young Miss Wang in front of me, she sent her "emerald" ring over for identification, and Jia Rudao's heart was very happy. Although, this "emerald" ring is a fake in itself!
Seeing that Lao Wang, Zhou Fugui and others who were still explaining the "Night Pearl" over there came to their side, Jia Rudao simply said some characteristics of emeralds, and then began to judge the emerald ring in front of him! What kind of scientific way can easily distinguish the truth of things, what kind of touch, can have a good distinguishing effect, and so on. Listening to the few experts on the side, they all nodded frequently.
People like Zhou Sha who don't know why will think that Jia Yidao is an expert in identifying emeralds.
Of course, perhaps, someone like Miss Wang. In my heart, I think that experts are omnipotent. It's like Jia Yidao, in the eyes of Miss Wang, in addition to being able to identify emeralds, any jadeite, diamonds and the like should be able to be identified. I can't say, Miss Wang has any porcelain things hidden in her bag at this time, and she can also take them out in one go, and ask Jia Yidao to identify them.
"By the way, expert, the way you just said to identify the authenticity of emerald rings is not easy to find now, so do we need to wait until we send things to the testing center you said before we can know the results of the test?" Zhou Sha asked at the lens of the camera. Then, he looked at Jia Nidao with his expectant eyes, and the microphone in his hand was even more suitable to be sent to Jia Nidao!
"This ......" Jia Rudao pondered, it is really such a thing, I can't say that I can judge it by feeling, right? Slightly hesitating, Miss Wang's heart is flooded with hope again, Jia Rudao can only explain, "Actually, we have encountered a lot of situations like Miss Wang in the past, entering the tour group, it is equivalent to falling into the tiger's den, the means of the tour guide, but there are a lot." The usual trick is to ask tourists to get off the bus, take them to the local jewelry store to buy jewelry, if you insist on not buying, they will be angry with you, use language to stimulate you to say that you dare to travel abroad without money, etc., on the one hand, it is the cold words of others, and on the other hand, under the temptation of discounts, naturally there are many people, for the sake of their so-called face, pay for these fakes and come back......"
"Listening to what the expert said, I think that there is really such a possibility. "When we went to Singapore, the tour guide often asked us to buy things. ”
"yes. Jia Rudao nodded, glanced at Miss Wang, only this time, did he suddenly feel that in fact, like Miss Wang's appearance, most of them are in good shape, as long as they don't wear makeup, they are very charming, and they are wearing heavy makeup, but they are walking on the street with some flowers, in fact, they are still very beautiful.
"However, such a trap is not limited to the ...... of emeralds," Jia Rudao said, now he has diverted the topic, and continued to point to the emerald ring in his hand, and said, "There is also a relatively simple way to identify the authenticity of this thing, because the hardness of emeralds is relatively large, and it can scratch some scars on the crystal hardness standard piece, while imitation glass cannot." I'm guessing that this emerald ring of yours, with its emerald gemstones, is made of glass. ”
"Glass?" Miss Wang was stunned.
"Yes, as long as you bring the crystal standard piece and swipe it lightly, you can judge it......" Jia Rudao nodded. However, this is the scene of an antique appraisal event. For a while, I couldn't find the crystal piece, and it was difficult to find the Chelsea color filter that could analyze the characteristics of emeralds, so as he spoke, Jia Rudao was a little stuck. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said: "Of course, at this time, I don't have a crystal standard piece in my hand, so it's not good to come to the test directly." However, if this thing is glass, you can lick it with your tongue to see if there is any coolness that emerald gemstones should have, if there is, you should use other more scientific and precise judgment methods to identify, but if not, you can carefully distinguish whether there is a warm feeling, because only green glass, will have such a heat conduction. ”
As he spoke, Jia Rudao handed back the emerald ring he was holding in his hand to Miss Wang.
The ring that people use to wear on their hands is in public, and it is naturally inconvenient for Jia Rudao to do it in person with such an identification method. Anyway, all the processes are relatively simple, and after Jia Rudao directly handed the ring back to Miss Wang, Miss Wang herself could judge it.
Taking out the napkin, Miss Wang wiped it vigorously on the emerald ring, pursed her lips, hesitated slightly, and was wondering whether to use her tongue to lick it, when Zhou Sha on the side looked at Miss Wang very curiously. That look, in Jia Yidao's opinion, there is still a feeling that if Miss Wang doesn't give it a try, Zhou Sha will take the first step to give it a try.
In addition, some other collectors, at this moment, also looked at Miss Wang in a daze.
For Jia Rudao, it is okay for other experts. The introduction of too professional identification methods, these people, will not be too enthusiastic. After all, all identification methods require a certain amount of vision, or a strong ability to operate the instrument. These are not available to ordinary collectors.
But if it is, some partial ways, for example, directly facing the jade jewelry in the sun to see its permeability, gently knocking to listen to the sound, or, just now, touch the jewelry with your tongue, feel the degree of warmth, such a move, but it is very popular with collectors!
For a while, not only Zhou Sha, but also other collectors who were originally waiting in line were also a little eager to try.
"Xiao Jia, it seems that you have read a lot of books. Uncle Zhou Fugui was on the side at this time, and praised Jia Rudao a little. It is introduced in the book, according to the different heat conductivity of glass and emerald, tongue licking green glass has a sense of warmth, while tongue licking emerald has a long-term cool feeling.
It's easy to do this, but in a big jewelry store, very few people choose to use it!
Dirty is one aspect, but indecent is the biggest reason, right?
It takes a bit of courage for a woman to lick her jewels with the tip of her tongue in public.
In the end, the doubt about the authenticity of her own things still overcame the so-called face in her heart, Miss Wang stretched out the tip of her tongue, licked it lightly on the emerald gemstone, and quickly retracted it, and then, it seemed to show some strange expressions, as if she did not have a good feeling about the move just now, and then continued to stretch out the tip of her tongue, licking, and then closed her mouth, took the emerald ring to her eyes, looked at it carefully, and said with a wry smile at the corner of her mouth:" It's really like what the experts say, it feels like glass!"
For a while, Jia Rudao was a little nervous, but he was completely calmed down!
Only Zhou Sha was obviously a little disappointed with the look on his face at this moment. The authenticity of this emerald ring was identified, but her second choice was wrong again. Three opportunities, just wasted twice, for the time being, Jia Rudao still doesn't know what the results of these dozen or so hosts are, but Zhou Sha's face faintly appeared pressure, but it was clearly visible!
Of course, when the lens of the camera was aimed at Zhou Sha, Zhou Sha's expression quickly returned to a brisk appearance, and said: "I really didn't expect that such a simple way can identify emerald rings worth tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, which shows that the collection of antiques is not so unfathomable." No matter how expensive something is, it has a certain way of identification. Only if we understand these identification methods, then the authenticity of things cannot escape our judgment...... It's just that the judgment of the jewelry I chose this second time was wrong again! Next, I have to think about it, these three shots, can not be wrong again. As the saying goes, it's only three things, so good luck everybody. ”
As soon as these words were finished, the lens of the camera was naturally closed.
At this time, Zhou Sha had time, smiled ambiguously at Jia Nidao, and said softly: "I can't see it, you have identified the jewelry, and there is a decent ......" seems to be the meaning of the words, I already know that on the night of the beginning, Jia Nidao said that it was like lying to her!
In this regard, Jia Rudao could only smile bitterly and did not say anything.
However, just as Jia Nidao was pondering that his ostrich measures should be able to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Rui, who had been looking at the situation here, also walked over and greeted Jia Nidao.
When Zhou Sha and Wu Rui's eyes met, for a moment, Jia Ruidao felt that it was because of Zhou Sha's appearance and whispering to himself that Wu Rui would come over and say hello to him......
Of course, for the following time, Ji Yanran walked to Jia Nidao's side, and naturally praised Jia Nidao's good performance just now.
Jia Rudao felt what kind of gunpowder smell there was under this breezy expression!
And even so, those few words of praise. In particular, the performance just now was good, such words, listening to Jia Yidao's ears, have an extra layer of meaning. Did Ji Yanran subconsciously tell that Jia Rudao's understanding of Zhou Sha and Wu Rui was very good?
In the whole room, it can also be said that the three most outstanding women at the scene of the entire antique appraisal conference were all standing in one place, and they were divided into three directions, mixing Jia Nidao in the most central position, and Jia Nidao didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.
Especially when he saw the many Tibetan friends in the house, looking at Jia Nidao's gaze at this time, he was extremely envious, and Jia Nidao felt empty in his heart!
Fortunately, the time period that made Jia Yidao feel more tricky passed quickly. Zhou Sha needs to continue to go to the square to look for her three chances; Wu Rui naturally won't leave her work behind, and she is here to look at and compete with Zhou Sha and Ji Yanran; as for Ji Yanran, it's even simpler, she turned around lightly and returned to her seat. It seems that everything just now is just an illusion of Jia Yidao.
It was not until this time that Jia Rudao suddenly realized very deeply that no matter how much a woman like Wu Rui is, there is no law in life. is still a scheming woman like Zhou Sha, who thinks about her mind all day long, and wants to seek help from powerful people; even a woman like Ji Yanran, who is usually cold and arrogant to a certain level, when there is an opportunity, they meet a place where they compare their appearance with each other, but no one will return to their usual calm mentality!
Of course, such beauty is only relative to themselves!
