After the discovery of this gemstone, the earliest European Gem Society designated ruby as the "July birthstone", and July is a symbol of nobility, love, and benevolence, and many people choose to get married in July.
Of course, Wang Bo knows that Europeans choose to get married in July because the weather in July is the best, warm but not hot, windy but not fierce.
However, this tradition continues, and July has a special significance, and the value of July's birthstone naturally rises.
To this day, at the weddings of European royal families, the royal families of various countries still use rubies as a witness to their marriage. For example, at the previous British royal wedding, Prince William's chest ribbon was equipped with a chicken blood ruby, and the central bud of the flower held by Princess Katie was embellished with pink rubies.
"This set of ruby jewelry, has not yet been named, according to the custom, its first owner enjoys the official naming right, please cherish the other half of the VIP please bid!"
"The starting price, one million yuan! The minimum price increase each time shall not be less than 100,000 yuan! β
As soon as the white gloves quoted the price, a middle-aged man in the front row answered: "Two million!" β
"Two and a half million!"
"Two million six thousand!"
"Two million seven million!"
"Three million!"
The price soared very quickly, two million to three million, just half a minute.
Ye Qipeng smiled bitterly: "Brother Wang, it may be difficult for you to win this set of jewelry today, this auction company is really good at playing, and even uses the naming right to attract customers." β
The naming power of jewelry can be more alluring to a woman than the jewelry itself!
Because of the rules of the world power struggle, it is too difficult for women to leave their names in history through the official, of course, **** like Pan Jinlian and Ma does not count, here is talking about good names rather than infamy.
But if they can name a set of jewelry, then they can achieve their purpose, especially if the jewelry is still valuable, and then their name will spread more widely in the future.
For example, the most famous "Stone of Carmen Lucia" in the history of rubies, Carmen Lucia is the wife of a jewelry collector Pete Barker, and the two are very affectionate.
When she first heard about the ruby in 2002, she was eager to get a chance to meet her. But the disease soon took her life - she died of cancer in 2003.
Her beloved husband, Pete Buck, was so grieved that in order to fulfill his wife's last wish, he bought the gem with a large sum of money, named it after his wife, and eventually donated it to the museum.
Now there is something related to this on the projection screen, and Pete Barker said in an interview after buying Ruby: Love never waits, and this is on it, stimulating these men.
Wang Bo understands all this, but he is bound to get this set of jewelry, Eva loves this jewelry very much, this is the first time he has seen Eva like a piece of jewelry so much.
The price climbed from three million to five million, and the first auction climax was about to occur.
Wang Bo did not move until the price rose to 7.5 million and almost everyone withdrew, then he suddenly raised the sign in his hand: "Eight million!" β
In the end, when he competed for this ruby jewelry, the price was increased by 100,000 yuan, and he increased it by 500,000 at a time, which was still a bit shocking.
It is the rich who can reach Christie's autumn auctions, but the rich do not print their money from the printing press, they spend generously, but they are more cautious when it is not necessary.
Needless to say, now that the auction is in its final stages, it is an unnecessary stage.
After Wang Bo gave the price of eight million, it attracted the attention of many people, and some people in the front row looked back and showed a sudden expression after seeing the demure Eva beside him.
There was also a personable young man who applauded Wang Bo and congratulated him with a smile.
The middle-aged man who quoted 7.5 million shook his head and withdrew from the competition, suddenly raising the price by 500,000, and the opponent was a hot-blooded young man, he felt that there was no need to compete.
The white gloves were quoted three times, and this set of jewelry belonged to Wang Bo.
Because this lot is obviously linked to love, the people at the scene are very cooperative, and they all applaud, for these white people, love and chivalry are always their favorite things.
Wang Bo and Eva stood up hand in hand to express their gratitude, and Adams Georgetown walked up and asked coquettishly, "Sir, now that you have the right to name this ruby jewelry, please name this jewelry." β
Wang Bodao: "My fiancΓ©e's name is Irina Sharapova, and I want to name it Eva. β
There was applause again, and several people around him got up to shake hands with him and congratulate Eva.
The auction of ruby jewelry is over, and the first small climax is over.
Some of the lots that appear later are more valuable, but they don't get as much attention.
After a Chinese auction item came out, Ye Qipeng and Yang Zhilong straightened their backs.
This auction item is called Fu Weng Yunlong Topaz Brush Wash, which was used by the famous calligrapher and writer Huang Tingjian in the Northern Song Dynasty during his lifetime, of course, he used a lot during his lifetime, but it has been handed down to this day and is still used in his later years, this is this one.
Yang Zhilong introduced to Wang Bo: "This wash is carved from topaz, you see hesitant to receive the influence of Tuqin, its appearance is somewhat waxy, the jade surface is mottled with ochre provisions, the standard of good topaz after the result of time raising." β
Even if there is no background culture addition, this brush wash is also excellent only from the appearance, it presents the shape of a dragon boat as a whole, the lines are varied, the cutting is quite delicate, the knife is powerful, and the lines are smooth, giving people the feeling of wanting to return with the wind.
"We are here for this national treasure, this wash originally belonged to a great Confucian, but it was snatched away by an American when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and we want to snatch it back." Ye Qipeng said with a solemn face.
After displaying this pen wash, the auction company began to quote, and the starting price was directly 6 million, and the price increase should not be less than 200,000 yuan each time.
This is a certainty that there will be Chinese people who will buy this artwork.
However, the pen wash is indeed very valuable, and some white people have also raised their cards to increase the price, and the price has soared step by step, reaching 8 million, the price when Wang Bo auctioned the ruby jewelry before.
Yang Zhilong increased the price, and some people followed, and after the price reached 10 million New Zealand dollars, Ye Qipeng shook his head and said regretfully: "I can only miss today, our reserve price has arrived." β
Eva raised her eyebrows at him and gave him a hint, Wang Bo's heart moved, and said: "Continue to increase the price, the following ones are mine, let's take it together!" β
