Several girls scrambled to look at the bracelets, and Selina asked, "Brother Chu, what kind of bracelet is this, it doesn't look like it was made recently, it can't be an antique, right?" ”

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "This kind of bracelet is called set seven, it is made with cloisonné craftsmanship, and what you said is very correct, these bracelets are indeed not produced recently, but they are not antiques, and such old cloisonne bracelets are basically discontinued now, and this set of bracelets is the previous stock ......"

The early cloisonne bracelet handicrafts are a very similar shape, all of which have no opening, and should follow the characteristics of jade bracelets, generally on the copper tires of cylindrical rows, and some relatively simple enamel paintings of filigree, such cloisonné bracelets look very delicate and classical.

The reason why such a set of bracelets is called a set of seven is because a set of such small bracelets is composed of seven.

Speaking of which, modern cloisonné bracelets are roughly divided into two types according to raw materials, one is copper and the other is alloy. The material on the bracelet is also divided into two kinds, one is an ordinary enamel glaze, and the other is a resin material.

Nowadays, cloisonné bracelets made of zuò rarely use copper tires. One is because of the high cost of making zuò, and the other is that it is much more complicated to make zuò, so most of the current copper tire bracelets are the inventory of the previous factory, like the set of seven that Chu Chen gave to Mina, which is the old process used, and the tire is still a copper tire.

Alloy tires are very common, and most of them are machine-made tires, which are more economical in terms of cost and workmanship. In addition, if you use enamel glaze, you still need to fire, but the resin cloisonné bracelet reduces the firing process. Just wait for the material to solidify.

As for which one you like about copper tires and alloys, it depends on personal preference. Of course. Since it is a gift for people, Chu Chen's choice is all made of solid materials. A well-made item may look a little old, but when you wipe it with a cloth, it immediately gives off a charming luster.

After listening to Chu Chen's introduction, several girls felt that while their knowledge had increased, they couldn't put it down even more in love with this set of bracelets.

Because Chu Chen asked Wu Ke in advance about the size of Mina's hand, and Mina also liked the color and pattern of this bracelet very much, and after wearing it, she was reluctant to take it off.

Selina looked at Chu Chen with blank eyes. He asked in a weak tone, "Brother Chu, do I have any gifts?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Of course yours are indispensable!" ”

"Is it a bracelet like this?" Selina asked with some excitement.

"Yes! Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and get the present......"

After getting Chu Chen's confirmation, Selina and Josie both looked very excited, and after a while, Josie thought of something before, and asked Wu Ke next to her: "Ellie, you measured our hands before because you wanted to buy us bracelets, right?" ”

"Yes. Otherwise, what if it is not suitable to buy? Wu Ke replied with a smile.

"Ellie, you're so uninteresting, why didn't you tell us about this earlier? No, I'll have to punish you......" he said. Selina went up to tickle Wu Ke's itch.

"Hee-hee! As...... If I tell sù in advance...... You guys, that's ...... There's no such surprise......"

Wu Ke said as he resisted and counterattacked. For a while, there was a lot of laughter in the room.

Chu Chen's movements were also very fast, in a moment. He walked back with his things, and Serena at this time was still playing with Wu Ke. directly pounced on Chu Chen, that appearance made Chu Chen think that he had met a female pervert.

Selina and Josie's set of seven is also as exquisite as Mina's, they are best friends after all, and in this situation, it is impossible for Chu Chen to do that kind of favoritism.

Seeing that the three girls all had their own bracelets, and Kelly's eyes next to her were also full of envy, Mina saw it and pleaded for her: "Chu, can you help Kelly choose a set of such bracelets?" ”

Kelly hurriedly said beside her: "Chu, don't worry, I will spend money to buy it." ”

Although the bracelets selected by Chu Chen were all high-quality, they were not difficult for him to find, so he agreed with a smile.

"Chu, can I ask first, how much do these seven bracelets cost?" Kelly asked, a little shyly.

Chu Chen replied: "It's not expensive, it shouldn't cost more than a hundred pounds." ”

Of course, this is the price he went to get, if it was on the market, the old cloisonne set of seven bracelets with very good workmanship like the one he chose was not something that could be bought at this price.

Hearing that it was less than a hundred pounds, Kelly also breathed a sigh of relief, but she also knew that this price should not be the market price, so she hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Chu Chen.

Seeing that her best friend, who was not worried about money, was now so expressive, Mina's heart was also very uncomfortable, at this time, she saw the box in Kelly's hand and quickly reacted.

"Chu, Kelly's father's business is in some trouble now, she brought a few antiques over this time, can you help take a look?"

The appraisal was completely a parental convenience for Chu Chen, so he didn't think about it, so he agreed: "Okay, no problem!" However, I have more experience in our Chinese antiques, not necessarily in other countries. ”

The box in Kelly's hand is not small, but when she opens it, she realizes that most of the place inside has been occupied by a helmet that looks rusty.

"All I brought with me this time are antiques from your country. My father has always been obsessed with Oriental culture, so he usually likes to buy some antiques from your country, but because of his limited level, sometimes he also buys fakes, but these things are selected by my father to be better, and I ask Mr. Chu to help take a look at it and evaluate the price. Please let us know the cost. ”

Chu Chen smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Since you are Mina's friend, then this time it will be free, but if something I like, I hope it can be transferred to me, of course, in terms of price, I will definitely buy it at the price in the market." What do you think? ”

"Yes!" For Kelly, as long as the price given by Chu Chen is fair, who is the thing sold to not sold? And since she asked Chu Chen to appraise it, she originally wanted to sell things to Chu Chen, but now that Chu Chen said so, of course she would not object.

Seeing that Kelly agreed, Chu Chen took out the helmet in the box first, this helmet is the style of the Warring States Period, and it looks very good, after carefully looking at it, he judged from experience that the material of the helmet should be real, and the green rust on it is also naturally generated, no matter from which point you look at it, you can't tell that it is fake.

It's just that no matter how Chu Chen looks at it, he feels that this helmet is a little weird, but he can't see what the problem is for a while.

At this time, Kelly introduced beside her: "Mr. Chu, this helmet is my father's beloved thing, after buying it, he still listened to the seller's advice and never removed the rust, otherwise, he should have worn it every day......"

Chu Chen couldn't think of anything wrong, but when he heard this, he immediately reacted, and then he hurriedly took a closer look, and finally sighed.

Seeing Chu Chen sighing, Mina hurriedly asked, "Chu, what are you sighing, is there something wrong with this helmet?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Chen also knew that what he said was vague, and Kelly and they should not understand, so he said directly and clearly: "Kelly, I'm sorry, this helmet is fake." ”

"What?"

Hearing such a reply, Kelly was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she said with a displeased face:

"Impossible, my father said, after he bought it, he went to the scientific appraisal, and the material of this helmet is real!"

In fact, the reason why Kelly came to Chu Chen for appraisal was that on the one hand, it was Mina's strong recommendation, and on the other hand, she also considered that the cultural relics she brought were all Chinese cultural relics, and if Chu Chen bought them, the price should be better.

But when she saw that Chu Chen was so young, she had some doubts in her heart that Chu Chen was as good as Mina. Now when she heard Chu Chen say that the helmet she brought was fake, her heart was full of disappointment and dissatisfaction, if she didn't feel rude, she would have wanted to pack up her things and leave now.

Mina also understood and understood Kelly's thoughts, she hurriedly made a round and said, "Kelly, since Chu said that it is fake, there is always a reason, you better listen to the reason why he said it first!" ”

"Chu, can you please give me the reason?" Kelly is not an unreasonable person, so she suppressed the anger in her heart, and planned to listen to Chu Chen's explanation first, if she didn't know what to say, she would definitely not let Chu Chen help identify it.

Chu Chen also understood Kelly's mood, and this helmet was still made using high-tech means that had only come out in recent years, if it hadn't left a very big flaw, he might not have been able to find it right away without using his abilities.

So, he said, "Kelly, one thing, you are indeed right, most of this helmet is indeed made of real materials. ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, everyone was a little puzzled, since the materials used to make zuò were real, how could the helmet be fake?

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Chu Chen said, "Let me say a little bit first, don't you think this helmet is a bit small?" With such a small helmet, I don't think you can wear it, right? ”

After listening to what Chu Chen said, everyone looked at the helmet again and found that the size of the helmet was really the same as what Chu Chen said, relatively smaller. Wu Ke compared it with the Warring States period helmet that he had seen in the museum before, and found that it was much smaller.

Then, Selina picked up the head thief and compared it to herself, of course, the helmet was covered with patina, it looked dirty, and she would not really wear it on her head if she loved to be clean. (To be continued......)
