Tian Yu didn't believe much in Zhang Tianyuan's words, the seamless jade? Zhang Tianyuan really had it? I'm afraid he was bragging.

You must know that on the market, carved jadeite accounts for the majority, and the reason is that there are too few really good jadeite.

Many people like carved jadeite exquisitely clear, because carving can borrow the reflection and refraction of light to highlight the three-dimensional sense of jadeite, but the thinning place is actually to cover up the impurities and flaws of jade. In other words, only jadeite with zài flaws or cracks will be used to make carved jadeite. Just like our common jade leaves, jade carvers carve intricate veins on the leaves, which are actually used to cover up cracks or remove superficial cracks.

For better jade materials, it is already very beautiful to grind into round, heart-shaped, and chili pepper shapes. Even if it is carved, it is generally only done by embossing, line engraving and other techniques. Just like carving Guanyin or Maitreya Buddha and other shapes, where a single side is carved, there can be no cracks, miscellaneous black and other phenomena on the back. The processing of bare body parts is simple, in order to better reflect the beauty of jadeite itself.

There are many words to describe beauty, without powder, but still beautiful as a fairy, which is actually the same as the naked jade.

With such a lack of such a scarce naked jade, why did Zhang Tianyuan dare to say that he had it? And it was seamless? This cowhide was also blown up, right?

When Zhang Tianyuan saw Tian Yu's expression, he knew that this benevolent brother didn't believe his words very much, and he didn't explain it, after all, what he said was indeed a bit mysterious, and it was difficult for people to believe it, as long as he saw the real thing. It's easy to see at a glance, and you don't have to go through that much trouble to explain.

Come to think of it. Zhang Tianyuan opened a leather case he was carrying and took out a fist-sized piece of jadeite. This is the leftover material from his previous stone cutting, and he can probably make a pair of bracelets and more than a dozen ring faces, but the quality is very good, and it is a high-grade ice seed yang green.

Seeing this piece of jadeite, Tian Yu's eyes immediately showed a look of amazement, although the ice seed yang green is not the best jadeite, but now, it is rare.

"Stuff is a good thing. It's a pity that it's too small, otherwise, it's okay to make some big bare pieces. Tian Yu sighed.

"In that case, why don't you go to my villa by Designer Tian? You can see a better jade than this, and it is bigger than this, are you interested?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.

In fact, when he heard Liu Jinglin introduce Tian Yu, Zhang Tianyuan already had this kind of thought, and his jewelry company could not only have Xu Yue as a designer. After all, if he gets bigger in the future, how can a designer be enough, so if Tian Yu really has the ability, then he must take it for his own use.

This time I brought this piece of jadeite. It's just that I want to arouse Tian Yu's interest, once this person has a strong interest, then the next thing. You can follow his steps step by step.

"What could be better than this?"

"That's right, have you ever seen the glass imperial green?" asked Zhang Tianyuan with a smile.

"I was lucky enough to see it once. But it was not done because the technology was not good enough at that time. I'm afraid of breaking it, and I don't dare to mess around. Tian Yu sighed and said, but suddenly he became excited again: "Listen to you, you have glass imperial green there?"

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said: "That's right, your exhibition will be held in a month, right? During this time, you might as well go to my villa to carefully cut jade and make a few beautiful naked pieces, you have said, the exhibition is not much more expensive, in fact, even if there is only one, as long as it can prove your level, it is bad enough, I can provide you with the best materials, do you have the confidence to do a good job?"

"Why not!" Tian Yu felt that Zhang Tianyuan looked down on him, and said with his chest puffed.

"Okay, just have faith, then will you go with me?"

"Just go, I can't help with this side anyway. Tian Yu nodded.

Liu Jinglin interjected: "That's it, Tian Yu, you just follow Xiao Zhang, and I'll handle the matter here." ”

"Then thank you, teacher, with your help, I am one hundred and twenty relieved. Tian Yu said gratefully.

So, Zhang Tianyuan just used a piece of ice seed yang green jade left from the past, and caught Tian Yu, he believed that his plan would definitely go smoothly, Tian Yu has the ability and ambition, and in the Shenluo Ancient Art Company, his ability and ambition can be fully played.

Because this was Nie Qinglan's first time in Xifeng, Zhang Tianyuan didn't rush back, but invited her, as well as Tian Yu and Liu Jinglin, who had a night market in Xifeng, rested for a night, and rushed back the next day.

When she was in the car, Nie Qinglan asked Tian Yu with interest: "Designer Tian, I like jadeite very much, but I don't know how to choose this jadeite bare body and carved pieces, can you tell me?"

Of course, Tian Yu was willing to answer the question of the beauty, not to mention that he could see that Zhang Tianyuan and Nie Qinglan had a very close relationship, and answering Nie Qinglan's question was also to send kindness to Zhang Tianyuan.

He said: "There is nothing fancy about the naked jadeite, you can intuitively see the quality and grade, and you can directly look at the seed and color when you buy." This is the same as a man looking at a woman without makeup, if the woman has no makeup and no plastic surgery, then it is much easier to choose, just look at it and understand. ”

"Your analogy is appropriate, but isn't it a little disrespectful to women who like to wear makeup?" Nie Qinglan said with a smile.

Nowadays, there is no woman who does not wear makeup, the problem is just the process of makeup.

Tian Yu hurriedly apologized.

Nie Qinglan covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm kidding you, I'm not so careful." ”

Tian Yu scratched his head, obviously a little overwhelmed.

"Designer Tian, don't worry too much, Sister Nie is like this, you can continue to talk about yours. Zhang Tianyuan relieved Tian Yu.

Tian Yu smiled bitterly, and then continued: "You have to be careful when buying carved jadeite, ordinary consumers may not be able to see the flaws and cracks covered by carved jadeite. The carver can carve the crack into a very beautiful line through the guò crimping method. Or carve the flawed areas into flowers, leaves, animals, etc. The carving pays attention to 'the picture must be intentional, and the meaning must be auspicious'. These carved ornaments are often auspicious motifs, just a good way to hide imperfections. But those who know how to do it. You can still see it at a certain angle or by borrowing light.

Two pieces of jadeite of the same species, color, and similar size, the naked one is definitely more expensive than the carved one. Moreover, the carved jadeite has too many surface lines, although it looks exquisite, but this is both an advantage and a defect. If the material is bean seeds or other kinds of 'new' jadeite, such carved jadeite may crack after a long time, and even the color may slowly become lighter. This is why we have always emphasized that jadeite species should be old. ”

"Oh, that's right. However, there are many craft styles of carved pendant jewelry. Is there a big difference in the value of different styles of jade ornaments?" Nie Qinglan asked again.

Tian Yu replied: "The carved pendant jewelry on the market is commonly known as flower pieces, pendants, and pendants. There are regular rectangular cards, square cards, as well as more regular three-dimensional shapes, irregular shapes, etc., the different styles of craftsmanship have a certain value law: the appearance of the positive shape is better than the shape, the three-dimensional full is better than the three-dimensional poor is not full, the plain surface is larger than the ornamentation, that is, the simple price is generally higher than the complex and fancy; the carving is fine, the image is realistic, vivid, the proportion is coordinated, better than the rough carving, uneven lines, The surface is smooth and flat, which is better than the surface with defective pits, and there are two possibilities for pits. One is that the material is not enough, and the other is that the impurities are deliberately dug up when carving; ”

"Designer Tian is worthy of being an expert in this field. Nie Qinglan said with a smile.

"These should be regarded as the basic knowledge of jadeite experts, if you don't even understand these, then you don't dare to call yourself an expert. Tian Yu said this. But I have a lot of self-confidence.

At this time, Zhang Tianyuan thought of something and asked, "By the way, Designer Tian." There's going to be an auction in Hong Kong in the near future, you know?"

"Oh. Are you talking about the last Empress Wanrong's old collection of jadeite jewelry set will be auctioned in Hong Kong?" Tian Yu asked.

"That's right, that's right, it's the auction of graceful jade jewelry sets. Aren't you interested in checking it out?"

"I know this, and one of my classmates asked me if he could help him send this set of jewelry. Tian Yu replied.

"Who are you talking about this Wanrong?" asked Nie Qinglan with some confusion.

Her full name is Guo Buluo Wanrong, the word Muhong, the name Zhilian, and the white flag of Manchuria. The wife of Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty, the last queen of the Qing Dynasty, was the queen of the puppet Manchukuo. The word 'Wanrong' and her word 'Mu Hong' come from "Luo Shen Fu": "Soaring like a shocking Hong, graceful like a dragon." 'She was a pretty woman, I should say. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"You care a lot about women. Nie Qinglan said with a smile.

"That's not it, I also heard about this auction, so I went to check the information, there are photos of this queen on the Internet, she is indeed a beauty. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"A beauty indeed. Tian Yu also said: "According to reports, Wanrong, as the queen of the late Qing Dynasty, has countless jewelry, including many jade jewelry that represents her noble status. The collection originally belonged to Empress Wanrong's jewellery set, which included a jade bead necklace with filigree beads, a saddle ring and a traditional round bracelet. The jadeite beads on the necklace are very matching in color and texture, with a size of 14.50×12.00 mm, the saddle band is uniform in color, thicker than the average ring of the same type, and the color is rare, and the jadeite bracelet is a very rare full green color with a thickness of 10.30 mm. ”

"How much is it?" Nie Qinglan seemed to be interested in this set of accessories.

Sotheby's Hong Kong, a well-known auction house, recently opened a preview of its autumn auction of magnificent jewelry and jadeite jewelry, highlighting the last Empress Wanrong's old jadeite jewelry set, which has an estimate of HK$2 million to 2.5 million. Tian Yu replied.

"That's not too expensive. Nie Qinglan said.

"I said Sister Nie, for a rich person like you, it's really not expensive, but for ordinary people, this price is not low, and this is just an estimate, in case there is speculation, it is estimated that the final transaction price is tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, after all, the things at the auction are not accurate, there is no upper limit. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Aren't you also rich, why don't you buy it for me as a gift? Nie Qinglan said.

"In what name do I buy it? If I give it to the girl of the Ye family, it can be said that I congratulate her on her marriage to Nie Zhen, and if I give it to Sister Nie, isn't it inappropriate?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile. (To be continued......)
