"You can't do this dress." Liu Li looked Yan Juan up and down, which allowed the driver to drive into a clothing store.

Yan Juan knew that in and out of certain occasions, she needed to wear a dress. But it's something from this store. It has always been known for being expensive. She was a frequent customer of this shop at the beginning, although she may not like these styles, but Mrs. Lu's identity cannot be lost.

"Clothes are too expensive here, aren't they? Anyway, it's just one time, so it's better to go and assemble one. Yan Wan rolled his eyes and came up with the most money-saving way.

"Group ......" Liu Li almost choked on saliva, "I'm too lazy to let you go back and change it, so I just found a random store to buy one." Then it's better to send you back to change, the rented dress, I don't know how many people have worn it, it's always a little disgusting. ”

Yan Juan didn't have such a cleanliness habit as him, but shrugged his shoulders: "I don't have a dress." I can't change it when I go home. Anyway, it's a 'sex' one, so why 'spend' a lot of money to buy it? You also know that my situation is not well-off, and such a luxurious dress is enough for me to eat and drink for half a year. ”

Liu Li looked at her with a strange face, surprised by her blankness. Which 'female' person doesn't slap a swollen face and call it fat?

"Then you go pick one, I'll settle the bill, anyway, I also rubbed you and Yixin more than one meal, and a dress can still be delivered. You'll have more occasions in the future when you need to wear a dress. Let's buy one this time. ”

"No attack is not punished, no matter how cheap the dress here is, it will cost the fourth brother zero, and you won't need so much for a year's meal. Let's change it, I remember there is a brand of cheongsam, which can be barely used as a Chinese dress, about three or five hundred yuan can be bought. ”

Liu Li originally expected an hour to try on Yan Juan's clothes. As a result, Yan Juan picked it up in three minutes: "That's it." You go and pay for me, I'll go into the *** room and change it. ”

Yan Juan said, and took out five 100 yuan bills from her denim pants pocket, which are really big bills for her!

"I'll send you." Liu Li shook his head. Hurry up the interface.

"Why do you want me to give me my clothes!" Yan Juan couldn't help but say and stuffed the money into his hand.

Four hundred and ninety-nine yuan, the merchant likes to set this price the most.

Liu Li went to the cashier in a daze, and when he walked back, Yan Yan had already changed his clothes. Even the ponytail that had been tied up was put down. That's when he found out. In fact, Yan Xuan's facial features are very classical.

Although this cheongsam is very "expensive", it is really suitable for Yan Guan's body.

"Add a jade bracelet." Liu Li subconsciously suggested.

"I can't afford to wear that!" Yan Juan stuck out her tongue, "Anyway, I chose the middle sleeve. It makes sense not to wear a bracelet. and do not coil their hair. Earrings are also saved. Just 'mix' in today, nothing else. It's not for showmanship, just let my stuff go. It's not comparable to the things in the exhibition!"

Liu Li smiled: "Okay, then let's go." ”

He and Yan Juan sat side by side in the back seat, secretly strange in his heart, listening to Yan Juan's tone, it seemed that this kind of occasion was not unfamiliar. But she doesn't even have a dress, does she have the opportunity to attend the banquet of the upper class?

Yan Juan's face was excited: "What is there in this exhibition?"

"There aren't too many diamonds, there's all kinds of materials. The main thing is to highlight the inspiration of the designer. ”

Compared with the men, women, and women at the fashion show, Liu Li's white 'color' suit and Yan Xuan's white background blue 'color' and 'flower' cheongsam are inconspicuous. They walked smoothly to the side of the exhibition room, and Yan Juan didn't squint, and 'shot' his eyes into the glass cabinet in a moment.

"This ring is chic." Yan Juan pointed to the ring in the window, "White gold inlaid with bricks and stones, although it is the most common combination, but the shape is a bit novel." From the big to the small, seven pieces of Ganoderma lucidum ......"

"This is the second prize of the first De Beers China Diamond Jewelry Design Competition, and it also won the Shanghai Arts and Crafts 'Fine' Award. Generally speaking, the shape of gemstone styles can be divided into two categories, one is based on the image of natural scenery, and the other is based on geometric shapes. You are very familiar with the geometric shape, which is what we often call arc type, turning type, bead type, special-shaped or something, mainly used for general life decoration. ”

Yan Wan listened to him intently: "Then this piece belongs to the creation based on the image of natural scenes." ”

"Yes, using Lingzhi is not the first sword, but this arrangement is still unique. This big Lou is relatively speaking. It is more difficult than geometric shapes, requiring ingenious ideas and attention to the individual. The composition of this work is complete, and it is also appropriately arranged from large to small angles. ”

Yan Juan nodded, and his eyes turned to the work next to him: "One, two, three, four, five...... It's really five carp, no wonder it's called "Five Carp Cheng", and the name also has some meaning. But with gold, I still think it's a bit cheesy. ”

"This is a three-piece set, the first outstanding creation award for the works of Chinese arts and crafts masters. I don't like gold personally, but this set of jewelry is 'fine' in workmanship and 'fine' in design, and it is a 'fine' piece."

"Chinese prefer gold jewelry, partly because of the need to preserve value." Yan Juan smiled.

"Color' is also a reason, the density is high, and the extension 'sex' is good. It is not difficult to make a gold cardboard box with a thick skin of 2 hundredths. One kilogram of gold can be hammered into an area larger than a football field, and if it is stretched, it can be four kilometers. Moreover, pure gold is easy to bend, and it is not easy to break, and it can be melted and re-beaten in style, which is a characteristic of heavy metals. ”

"That's right. If you don't like the polishing of the diamond, this style will become smaller and smaller, and the value will shrink a lot at once. Yan Wan smiled.

"Yes, that's why the practice of using aqua regia to melt gold was introduced a few years ago. The chemical 'properties' of gold are very stable, and the ability to resist high temperatures and corrosion is very strong, but it has no immunity to aqua regia. ”

'What is this?' Brooch pins?" Yan Juan pointed to another piece of gold next to him and asked, "It seems a little too big, right?"

"Oh, it's an ornament. Liu Li was dumbfounded.

Yan Xuan's eyes widened: "I thought that the ornaments were generally carved from 'jade' stone!"

The ornament is called "Love Network" and is a transcription of the World Gold Council's Millennium Forever Gold Design Competition. The lines are smooth, and the workmanship is also very 'fine'. This is the brooch!"

Yan Juan hurriedly looked away: "This 'color' doesn't seem to be gold, nor does it look like K gold...... The shape is really peculiar, and it is indeed a bird's nest with an egg inside. ”

"The design is also ingenious, using straight lines and scatters to overlap, intersperse and shoot. Forming the shape of a bird's nest. This is yellow platinum. 14K. ”

"Oh." Yan Wan nodded.

"This silver egg. It can be removed. "Liu Li is definitely not a patron to this kind of exhibition. Almost every piece of work can be destroyed.

"It's a piece full of power, and it's no wonder it won the award." Yan Wan muttered, "I've been at the diamond counter for so long, and it's rare to have a few eye-catching designs. ”

"These are award-winning entries. Of course, unlike commercial design, it is necessary to innovate as much as possible. Only then can they win the prize. Generally speaking, when we design for sale, we need to consider the value of care. A small-grained rough stone should be designed as much as possible as a finished gemstone according to its original shape, and if it is a large-grained stone, the principle of care should be implemented as much as possible, especially for high-end gemstones. ”

"The color of K gold and pure gold is different." Yan Juan compared, "No wonder there is a folk saying that there are seven green, eight yellow, nine purple and ten red, which is all golden and has a red 'color' on the tone." ”

"Depending on the type and content of impurities, the color of gold varies considerably. If you add different amounts of palladium and silver, you can mix different "color" white "color" K gold, which is the K white gold we talk about. However, it is rare to have a 'color' higher than I4K. ”

"Why?" Yan Juan asked, and immediately answered by himself, "Oh, I know, higher than J4K, it will be more or less yellow." ”

"Yes." Liu Li nodded, "If it's a platinum house, it will generally be marked with the word PT." It's just that many consumers don't understand, thinking that platinum is platinum, and the value of the two is very different. Generally, rings and pendants with small diamonds are set in white gold. The large ones are made of platinum, and most of them will be marked with the universe of PT. In Japan, platinum is not marked for less than 85 percent, while the United States has raised the threshold to 95 percent. ”

Yan Wan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, when we sell to customers, if it is platinum inlay, we will specifically indicate it to customers." However, most customers only look at the size of the diamond, not whether it is white gold or platinum. There is also gold, which is generally 18 carats, but the pin is smaller than E. "

"Platinum and gold, both of which are of high purity, are too soft to be used as settings. Therefore, it is generally used to inlay treasure and "jade" stones with less than 18K "color". Relatively speaking, the design of gold jewelry is relatively easy. Because there is no need to think about the problem of raw ore. If it's a gemstone, there's a lot to consider when designing. Weight, skin, cracks, inclusions, etc., are all indispensable. ”

Yan Juan nodded thoughtfully: "Especially precious gemstones, large particles are rare, so taking care has become a requirement." ”

"There is also brittleness, for example, some gemstones can only be designed in the emerald type, or avoid the direction that is easy to crack, there is no other better choice."

"No wonder Mr. Pang gave us a class, a total of two semesters, at least one semester is to explain all kinds of gemstones."

"Lao Pang ...... It's a pity. If it hadn't been hacked, that year's jewelry designer championship trophy would have been his. Liu Li's sigh surprised Yan Juan.

"You mean, Mr. Pang used to be a designer?"

"Of course. Otherwise, how could Yan have paid a lot of money to invite him back as a training teacher? Although he is no longer in the woods, and he has vowed never to design again, he was once one of the best jewelry designers he has ever had. Of course, I will one day surpass his achievements. Liu Lizhi's smug appearance made Yan Juan smile.

"I believe it."

"You can too." Liu Li looked at her and smiled, "Yixin said that you have a lot of potential, and you will not be wrong." ”
