Gu Xier put his clothes in the back seat and instructed: "Don't call him." ”

Wen Ying: "Hmm. ”

Gu Xier touched Wen Ying's head: "Good." ”

On the way back to the hotel, Gu Xier reacted, "What did we do in that jewelry store just now?" ”

Wen Ying: "You said that the Au Grenier de Lucie emerald antique necklace is beautiful. ”

Gu Xier: "Oh, yes. It was forgotten as soon as it was scrambled. It's okay, let's go to another one, Au Vase de Delft."

Both are century-old antique jewelry stores in Paris.

Au Vase de Delft is a display of antique jewellery in the Baroque style. This antique jewelry store has been open for three generations, and it is said that Mademoiselle Chanel also frequents it~

The founder of Au Vase de Delft later handed it over to his daughter, who studied gemstones, and has been running it ever since.

In the Au Vase de Delft store, the antique jewellery seen is mainly abstract and symmetrical in the Baroque style.

This jewelry exudes the confidence of the craftsman in his craft from the inside out, and also hints at the flamboyant character of the women of the period, as if they were all royal ladies.

There is also a beautiful short meow in the store, with long legs and a super gentleman.

Wen Ying is in her mind: This is the "goddess" in the minds of men.

Sexy, elegant.

BAROQUE IS A TYPICAL ART STYLE REPRESENTING EUROPEAN CULTURE, WRITTEN IN PORTUGUESE, BARROCO, WHICH ORIGINALLY MEANT "NOT ROUND PEARL", AND LATER DEVELOPED INTO MAGNIFICENT JEWELRY, POPULAR DURING THE REIGN OF FRANCE KING LOUIS XIV, THAT IS, 1638~1715. This kind of jewelry was too domineering because the emperor at that time, but it also presented a magnificent and magnificent imperial atmosphere.

The period in which Baroque jewelry lived was also closely linked to the Reformation culture of the time, so in addition to its majestic, vigorous and unrestrained characteristics, it also had a kind of divinity that looked very holy and noble.

In general, this kind of jewelry is full of rhythm, volume and space, as well as three-dimensional and rich changing effects, full of strong momentum and vitality.

As soon as Wen Ying entered the store, she fell in love with a Burmese ruby necklace, a solemn cross made of 10 Burmese rubies of different sizes.

Wen Ying can't put it down and admire it, as if she is in a dialogue with history.

In the world of antique jewelry, religious jewelry has always been an extremely important type of jewelry in addition to love, whether it is the coronation ceremony of the emperor or the worship service of the church, the cross can be said to be a must-have jewelry for Christians.

What's even more wonderful is that Wen Ying is wearing an elegant black dress, with this antique necklace, it is retro and fashionable? I have to say that the Baroque jewelry, which emphasizes the variety of forms and the rendering of the atmosphere, and the clothes with solid color minimalism are like fish in water, which looks dignified and connotative, and it is really worthy of "romance without losing the background".

Wen Ying: "It gives me a solemn feeling, and when I put it on, I feel like I have traveled to a French cathedral hundreds of years ago, and witnessed the magnificent scene of the emperor being crowned by the pope." ”

Gu Xier: "Is it so exaggerated?" ”

Wen Ying: "Yes." ”

Gu Xier said to the shopkeeper, "Juste ??" a" (French: just want it.) ）

Owner: "Oui Monsieur" (French: Yes, sir.) ）

Wen Ying: "You really look like a nouveau riche without asking about the price." You can bargain here. ”

Gu Xier pinched Wen Ying's face: "Buying something for you, you're going to dislike me again, right?" ”

After a while, the shopkeeper said apologetically: "Je suis désolé, monsieur, mais je n'ai pas trouvé le certificat pour ce collier de pierres précieuses" (French: I'm very sorry, sir, I couldn't find the certificate for this gemstone necklace. ）

Gu Xi'er's faint expression, "Oh."

Wen Ying then put down the necklace: "Je suis désolé, madame, alors je n'en veux plus" (French: I'm sorry, ma'am, then I don't want it.) ）

Gu Xier looked at Wen Ying: "Why not?" ”

Wen Ying: "For jewelry-grade products, certificates are very important, buy, buy, must, be cautious, be cautious. ”

Gu Xier thought thoughtfully: "Listen to you." Don't help me save money. ”

Wen Ying: "Hmm. ”

Owner: "Ensuite, vous regardez les autres" (French: then look at the others.) ）

The store is full of antique designer brands or niche accessories, and the prices are not expensive, and you can find some quirky gadgets

Wen Ying found a Chanel metal waist from around 1960 and a pair of earrings from Lunch at the Ritz.

Dragonflies are a common image from Victoria to Art Nouveau, and these antique dragonfly earrings have a beautiful appearance of a dragonfly, and the design of the "dragonfly" is vivid and ingenious. The head and tail are adorned with charming diamonds that flicker in the light, and the filigree figure and wings seem to flutter when placed in the ear.

In China, butterflies are the embodiment of romance; In France, the dragonfly also represents the cultural aesthetics of the local people, and it is a very common artistic image from the Victorian period to the Art Nouveau period in Europe.

Gu Xier felt that accompanying a woman to go shopping was really a difficult task.

They obviously like something very much, but they refuse to buy it for various reasons.

In Gu Xier's heart, women love jewelry.

No art form will last forever like jewelry. Parisian artists have the richest artistic cells in the world, and naturally understand this truth, so they hide all their imaginations of romance in the fiery gems.

Some of these jewels have been acquired by discerning collectors and never seen the light of day; And the rest are scattered in antique jewelry stores all over the country, continuing to sing about the original intention of human beings to keep beauty forever.

Gu Xier's grandmother is known as the "walking jewelry box".

So he can especially understand the heart of a woman's love for jewelry.

Because the women around him are like that.

He remembered that there was a cousin who bought a pair of 1.2 million ruby studs, but she was afraid that her husband would scold her for shopping willfully, so she hid the newly bought studs under the washstand.

He didn't understand why the family was so rich, and his cousin-in-law would scold his cousin for a pair of studs.

Now he understands that it is because her cousin's consumption method deeply makes her husband, who was born humble, feel inferior.

Next to the jewellery store is a Parisian boutique specializing in high-end dresses and jewelry.

Carefully selected products and premium service are the hallmarks of this boutique, but things are really expensive. If you're visiting Paris for a show or a party, this boutique is one of the things on the agenda and the products are sure to shine.

Wen Ying stood outside the window and sighed deeply: "C&W will be like this in the future." It's really beautiful! ”

Gu Xier followed her line of sight, Carrie!!
