For the more than ten treasures in front of them, not to mention that Chu Tianjiang was not interested in the slightest, Nicol and the others also felt bored.

Of course, in addition to a wide variety of diamonds and diamond-based jewelry, there are also some rarer gemstones, as well as gemstone-based jewelry.

Comparatively speaking, gemstones are far less valuable than diamonds.

For example, a ruby about the size of an egg will eventually fetch less than 1,000 ounces of gold, while a colorless diamond of the same size will be worth at least ten times as much, and if it is a colored diamond, and it is the rarest red diamond, it will cost dozens or even hundreds of times.

Strictly speaking, diamonds are gemstones, and they are the best gemstones.

When the last treasure came on the scene, Chu Tianjiang still didn't have much interest, but Nicol and the others all came to the spirit, and they seemed to be waiting for this treasure.

This is the diamond necklace that was once worn by Queen Victoria.

To be precise, this is a gemstone necklace, and only the pendant is a diamond. The rough diamond, which weighed more than 700 carats from South Africa, was later cut into several pieces, the largest of which was still 175 carats after polishing. The necklace is also adorned with 16 rubies and 16 sapphires, symbolizing the 32 most important overseas colonies owned by Britain in its heyday. According to the introduction, this necklace was given to Queen Victoria by the Governor General of South Africa on her thirty-third birthday. It's just that Queen Victoria only wore it once at her thirty-third birthday party. Since then, the necklace has been treasured by the British royal family and has never been seen again, so very few people know about its existence.

If measured by the value of the diamond, this necklace is a big cut worse than the seven of Nicole.

The point is, it's a colorless diamond, and even if it's very large, it's not as big as a fancy color diamond. It is important to know that a high-quality red diamond is worth thousands of times more than a colorless diamond of the same size. The coloured diamonds on Nichol's necklace are not only huge, but they are also of the highest quality and even more valuable.

It's just that this necklace has an unparalleled historical value.

What interests them is that this necklace once hung around the neck of Queen Victoria, the greatest queen of England!

It is important to know that Britain's national power reached its peak during the reign of Queen Victoria.

In addition, Queen Victoria is also a beautiful woman of no other generation.

In a sense, it was this peerless queen who pushed Britain to the throne of the world's hegemon and laid the foundation for Britain's two-hundred-year hegemony.

In the West, especially in English-speaking countries, Queen Victoria has a lot of admirers.

Obviously, Nicol and the others were all "fans" of Queen Victoria.

"Buy it." Because there was a master of ceremonies, Nicol didn't bring a salutation.

"You want?"

Nichole nodded and said, "Not only do I want it, but everyone wants it." ”

"The question is, there is only one, is it possible, after buying it, it will be split into seven parts?"

"No matter what, you can't give it to anyone else." Rachel leaned over, "If it's not appropriate for us, take it back to Clara." ”

"This ......"

"Yes, Clara has given us so many treasures, and we have to be embarrassed."

Chu Tianjiang smiled and called Rachel over and asked her to sit on her lap and operate the equipment used for bidding.

By this time, the price had reached 135 million ounces of gold. Obviously, quite a few of the dignitaries present were admirers of Queen Victoria.

Rachel's first price was 150 million, but it didn't appear on the screen, because the highest price quoted at the same time was 155 million. Rachel then entered another 170 million, but it still didn't show up, and the highest price of the synchronization was 180 million. Rachel was a little impatient and a little annoyed, and entered 200 million for the third time, and finally got on the big screen.

For this price, ten seconds on the big screen.

Obviously, this is already a very high price, and those VIPs who have been bidding cannot afford to pay a higher price, or don't think it's worth it.

It's just that this price didn't last for fifteen seconds.

By the time Rachel felt that she had taken it down, the data on the big screen was refreshed to 300 million, and the room number displayed was "A02".

The "A" represents the luxurious private rooms that surround the perimeter, while rooms "01" and "02" are the best located.

If there were two rabbis bidding, they would have been in these two rooms. That is, it was a rabbi who made the bid.

"I'm angry!" Rachel's anger was ignited, and the price was raised by another fifty million.

Chu Tianjiang didn't care about Rachel and called Christina over.

"Mr. Chu......"

"Is it the rabbi who started bidding?"

"This ......"

"Of course, I'm just inquiring, and if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it."

"It's supposed to be Monicaaby."

"Should it be?"

"I don't know which room she's in, but she's probably the only one who can afford it, and she's the only one of the six rabbis interested in jewelry."

"So, she used to buy a lot of jewelry here?"

Christina nodded, deciding that she had said enough, and didn't say anything more.

Chu Tianjiang smiled and waved his hand, letting Christina retreat.

At this time, there were only two bidders, and the price had been raised to 300 million.

When the price was speculated for 350 million, Rachel lost patience.

"This, do you want to get along with us?"

After entering a number starting with "4", Rachel pressed "0" a little more, and the result was 400 million to 4 billion.

Seeing the numbers that appeared on the big screen, Chu Tianjiang was startled.

"Four billion" is equivalent to four million twenty-carat colorless diamonds, and Chu Tianjiang simply does not have so many, or does not have so many twenty-carat colorless diamonds. You must know that 80 million carats, equivalent to 20 tons, the largest diamond mine in the world, has only mined less than six tons of diamonds.

It's just that there is no one bidding anymore.

"Mr. Chu......" Christina hurriedly walked over, looking a little anxious.

Sell it, don't let that grow ambitious! Rachel immediately told Chu Tianjiang through consciousness. Clearly, she's fighting Monica.

Chu Tianjiang secretly smiled bitterly, and said to Christina, who looked a little flustered: "What, are you worried that I can't afford it?" ”

"No, it's not." Christina wiped the sweat from her forehead. "If the price displayed is correct, you'll have to press the confirmation button again."

Without waiting for Chu Tianjiang to speak, Rachel pressed the confirmation button.

Immediately, the yellow font on the big screen turned red.

After more than ten seconds, after no one offered a higher price, the red font changed to a green font, indicating that the auction had been sold.

Of course, the balance will not be officially closed until the balance is paid.

According to the rules, if the bidder does not pay the balance within the specified time, the auction will be considered unsuccessful, and the bidder's deposit will be forfeited and the bidder will be expelled from membership. For such a huge deal, the auction house will give the bidder seven days to scrape together enough money.

"Christina, can we pay the balance now?"

"Now!?" Christina was very surprised, because it was impossible for Chu Tianjiang to carry twenty tons of diamonds with him.

"Of course, we don't have that many ordinary diamonds, can we settle with colored diamonds?"

"Fancy colored diamonds?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and took out the earrings that Isabella had abandoned. "It's a red diamond, but I'd like to value it by the jewelry."

Seeing the size of the red diamond on the earrings, Christina was even more surprised.

"What, can't you?"

"Nope! Of course, you can, but you need to be specific. ”

"No problem, you can arrange it."

"Mr. Chu, please come with me."

Under the leadership of Christina, Chu Tianjiang and the others went to the small room where they started. After that, Christina went to the appraiser.

Chu Tianjiang stretched out his hand in front of Rachel, and then shook it.

Rachel gritted her teeth and took off the bracelet on her left hand. Seeing that Chu Tianjiang didn't take his hand back, he took off the bracelet on his right wrist, and then the earrings and necklace.

"This was bought for Clara, can't I pay for it alone, right?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and looked at Nichol and the others.

Although they did not participate in the auction and did not bid in person, they all supported the purchase of the necklace, and they all got a copy.

By the time Christina returned with five appraisers, Chu Tianjiang already had a handful of diamond jewelry in his hand.

Five appraisers appraised each piece of jewelry, and then privately negotiated to determine a comprehensive valuation, and Christina quoted the price to Chu Tianjiang. According to the regulations, Chu Tianjiang has the bargaining power, that is, he can express doubts about the appraisal given by the appraiser, and then put forward his own price. It's just that Chu Tianjiang didn't use his rights, because the valuation given by the five appraisers was not too outrageous.

In fact, the five appraisers didn't know how to evaluate it.

The main thing is that they have never seen so many colored diamonds that large and so many, and the value of colored diamonds is not linear with their weight.

In terms of the value of diamonds, any piece of jewelry in Chu Tianjiang's hand surpassed the necklace he had photographed.

Finally, Chu Tianjiang took out a pair of earrings, a bracelet, a bracelet and a necklace. The appraiser thought that a ring should be added, but Chu Tianjiang refused. The reason is that the largest of Nicol's jewelry is the colored diamond in the ring.

It's not that Chu Tianjiang doesn't want to suffer, but he feels that he can't go too far.

After some negotiation, Chu Tianjiang agreed to make up the deposit he had paid before, and several appraisers made concessions.

The next thing is to go through the various procedures, but after completing these cumbersome procedures, Chu Tianjiang and the others failed to leave the auction house immediately with the auctioned necklace.
