Chapter 397: The Best Yellow Sapphire
The Jianling card can only identify that this desk is made of Huanghuali made in India, and the approximate date is also the time when India was colonized by the British, and the rest cannot give more information.
Moreover, the cool air that Li Yi inhaled from the desk is also within the normal range, so he judged that this desk is mostly nothing special, although the price seems to be that the owner of the goods will take the gold nail as a brass nail, but this is a little cheap, if the size can still be considered, but such a big one, and he does not know much about the European antique furniture market, so he is really not interested and not sure to take advantage of this advantage.
However, the lack of interest in the desk does not mean that he is not interested in other things, because he quickly fell in love with a baroque relief vanity box made of brass the size of Yanjing's baked cakes.
This vanity case is very beautiful, the whole body is golden, without a trace of patina, but the deep yellow color makes people see the precipitation of history at a glance.
On the round lid of the vanity box, there is a baroque embossed openwork pattern, and in the middle of the pattern, there is also a large crystal clear oval golden yellow gemstone.
"How do you sell this vanity case?"
After picking up the makeup box and looking at it a few times, Li Yi began to inquire.
"This vanity box is a handmade piece of the famous Buffae Maison in Paris in 1924, and it is not only highly skilled and in perfect condition, but also inlaid with a huge piece of natural citrine, so it ...... It costs fifteen thousand euros. ”
Li Yi blinked, didn't think about it, and directly repaid the price.
"Ten thousand."
"No, no. That's impossible! Come, young man, I tell you. Look at the appearance, and the pattern......"
When the boss heard that Li Yi actually cut his offer by one-third, he was in a hurry, and he was about to find him to reason with the makeup box.
Li Yi made a stop gesture with a smile and a smile, asking for money all over the sky, you are still doing business, you don't even understand this!
"Fourteen thousand. 14,000 euros, plus ......"
Just when Li Yi was hesitating to make a little more noise, the boss turned around and took out a pair of diamond-shaped earrings cut from the drawer of the cabinet behind him.
"Hey, young man, you must have bought this vanity case to give it to your girlfriend, right? This price really can't be let any more. But I can give you a pair of earrings of the same material and color, and see how well they match this vanity case......"
Li Yi took the citrine earrings given to him by the boss and took a look at them, and suddenly felt dizzy and almost didn't hold on.
NND, this time it's cheap, it's better to pay quickly and leave, otherwise it will go on again. How embarrassing would it be if the boss even gave away the matching necklace pendant?
Originally. This vanity box is not set with citrine at all, but a rare yellow sapphire weighing 24 carats with clarity reaching the highest level of sapphire IF flawless!
Yellow sapphire, also known as topaz, is a variant of yellow gem-quality corundum. The color is generally light yellow, canary yellow, honey yellow, golden yellow and other colors, among which golden yellow is the best.
At present, the world's largest natural yellow sapphire is from Sri Lanka, which is also golden yellow, and weighs almost twice as much as the one in Li Yi's hand, reaching a staggering 46.5 carats, but its clarity is slightly inferior, which is the internal flawless grade of FL.
Although the best topaz is not as valuable as a ruby or as a blue sapphire, Li Yi remembers very well that the pigeon's blood ruby rough that Shi Qiba spent more than 200 million yuan in Hong Kong to auction back, can only cut a 22-carat ruby at most!
Then, even if the unit price per carat is ten times cheaper than the pigeon's blood ruby, then the value of this topaz will reach 3 million euros!
What's more, once such a scarce gemstone is large enough to reach a certain size, its price cannot be estimated according to common sense, so the price of this topaz is still very difficult to say how high it can be.
Li Yi estimates that this should be the main reason why the boss mistook topaz for citrine. Because he didn't dare to think and couldn't believe that someone would set such a precious topaz directly into an ordinary makeup box!
Since the large pieces of topaz are mistaken, then the two earrings that are almost identical to it are naturally taken for citrine.
The current situation is that this treasure of almost immeasurable value not only cost Li Yi 14,000 euros and came with an antique makeup case, but now, he actually wants to send a pair of topaz earrings that are not only the same color, but also the clarity grade as the big gem!
This kind of cheapness is ...... with a cheeky skin like Li Yi It's almost not cool crooked!
Lang has a concubine, and they all think that they have taken advantage of the buyer and seller quickly completed the payment and delivery procedures, Li Yi put the makeup box into the backpack, and then held the idea of playing three poles with and without dates, and stopped the boss,
"Boss, do you have any rings, necklaces or anything that can match these two......?"
The boss shook his head, Li Yi was not disappointed, he shrugged his shoulders with his hands, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the boss say:
"Those two things can't be given to you, because the ring is pure gold, and the pendant of the necklace is too big, more than twice the size of your makeup box, so it can't be gifted."
Li Yi knew that the boss just shook his head because of a misunderstanding, thinking that he still wanted a giveaway, so he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, this person can be shameless, but definitely not too shameless...... What the? The director said that it was already too shameless? Oh, that's not the most shameless, only more shameless......
Li Yi's spirit was gone, but when he just withdrew his attention and turned to pay attention to the boss's words, a word was like a thunderbolt that suddenly exploded in his ears, shocking him.
Did he hear it wrong? He seems to be saying yes, right? Moreover, it seems that the pendant is more than twice as big as the one on the vanity box...... Oh Maiga, have you drunk the wine made by our Xiaolu?
"Hurry up and take a look, if it can really match the set, I will have all of them, the price is not a problem."
Seeing that Li Yi wanted to see the necklace and ring, the boss glanced at the assistant beside him proudly, look, give him the cheapest one, but before he could tell him that this could actually be matched, he remembered it himself......
Now, aren't they all sold? And maybe it can be sold for a good price.
In the assistant's eyes full of admiration and admiration, the boss turned around and took out a platinum ring first,
"Let's take a look at this one first, I have to look for that pendant again, because it is so precious, so I was extra careful when I put it, and it turned out that it was not easy to find......"
The boss has already begun to pave the way for the quotation later, Li Yi ignored him, you want to sell this thing as citrine, then, let alone double the size, even if it is ten times bigger, a hundred times...... Oh, a hundred times or forget it, this kind of clarity, and such a large particle of natural citrine seems to be quite valuable......
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, Li Yi just took the ring in his hand, and found that something was wrong, because the ring face on this ring was really a golden transparent crystal that could almost be mixed with pearls!
I'll go! We don't bring such a flirtatious person!
The boss who bent over and pretended to be looking for something didn't see Li Yi's face, so he was still babbling about his two pieces of jewelry.
"The condition of this ring is even better than the one on the makeup box just now......
Resisting the thought of beating the boss violently, Li Yi decided to take a look at the necklace pendant. Because he thinks that even if it's not a topaz, if it can really be matched, he doesn't mind spending money to buy it back.
This is actually quite good, because when the time comes, if she really wears it, the risk of being robbed seems to be so small......
Finally, the boss took out the citrine pendant with a K gold necklace, Li Yi took it and immediately relieved himself, this one is really a huge yellow sapphire!
That's right, he didn't use the wrong unit, because even if he didn't use the spirit card to tell him, he could see that its weight was definitely more than 50 carats!
For a big baby who has broken the current world record for the weight of topaz, he thinks that using a block is an honorific title, and using a grain, it is obviously insulting this big guy!
Three times five divided by two to get the price, Li Yi carefully put the pendant into the backpack, and then glanced at the boss's strong joy look, and couldn't help but despise it, my brother took advantage of it and was embarrassed with a guilty face, but look at you, virtue!
Turning around and taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked expectantly,
"Boss, do you have any citrine of this material?"
After seeing two more stalls, Li Yi finally came to the end of the antique market. However, just as he was about to turn around and look back at the antique bazaar, which had brought him a huge harvest, suddenly a strong force came from behind him, and he involuntarily staggered forward two steps, and then heard the voice of a young girl,
"Saorui Sauri ......"
Li Yi was startled, quickly clenched the plastic bag that was still dangling in his hand, and then opened it to check it. Fortunately, just now he didn't put the purple sand water finger in because he had two wood carvings in his backpack, and he was afraid that he would accidentally drop the water finger on the ground and break it, so he wrapped the plastic bag around his hand twice......
After checking the stationery box in the backpack and nothing happened, Li Yi took care of the girl who knocked him from behind just now.
"You ......"
It was a young girl of obvious Italian descent, tall and slender, with a slightly narrow face with hard lines, but with the high nose bridge and deep sunken eye sockets characteristic of Europeans, she also looked very beautiful. (To be continued.) )
