Chapter 494: The heart is too soft
Susie smiled at him, "Hello. ”
Davy was afraid of disturbing others, so he didn't go any further.
The host on stage announced the start of the auction.
Liang Bixia signed the auction agreement on behalf of Susie before, so Susie's brooch was also auctioned.
The first thing to auction was a ring designed by a young man named David behind Susie.
The center stone is a diamond-shaped yellow diamond surrounded by colorless methane diamonds, and the ring is made in a unique castle shape with a unique sense of power, which is obviously a men's ring.
Soon the bidding was heard, and it was not long before the yellow diamond ring was sold for 1.5 million francs.
Susie estimated in her heart that the estimated market price of the yellow diamond was about seven or eight hundred thousand francs, and the diamond was not worth much, and the ring sold for more than one and a half million francs, which obviously exceeded the value of the jewelry itself, and the premium part was brought by the design, or rather, people were willing to pay so much money for the third prize in the jewelry competition.
The Paris Jewelry Competition is only held once every three years, and there are only a few pieces of jewelry in each auction, so there are still many people who are willing to pay a high price for collecting.
Next up was the necklace for the second prize.
The center stone of the necklace is an emerald of more than six carats, and the entire necklace is composed of dozens of emeralds of various sizes.
The market value of these gems alone is more than one million francs.
Susie listened to the bidding of those people one after another, the host made a cameo as the auctioneer, and the necklace was finally auctioned for 1.9 million.
Then Susie's lily of the valley brooch was placed in the center of the podium.
A picture of the brooch is shown on the big screen.
Susie didn't know how much the brooch would sell for, and when it came to the raw materials, the gemstones she used were really not worth much compared to the yellow diamond ring and the emerald necklace.
The pearls are not big and are not worth much, and the diamonds set on them and some small emeralds are not worth much.
The valuable thing is the jade leaves of imperial green, however, the leaves are not much thick, not big, in fact, they are the leftovers of bracelets, even if they are top-level imperial green, they are worth hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars at most.
The host quoted the reserve price, one million francs.
Susie heard someone and immediately started bidding, and it turned out to be Master Neil, the chairman of the jury sitting on the stage.
Master Neil directly bid for one and two hundred thousand.
There was an exclamation from the audience.
Master Neil is a jewelry designer himself, and he has never heard of him buying jewelry from other designers.
Thinking about the fact that Master Neil scored a high score of 18 points just now, it can be seen that he loves this brooch very much.
If it is possible that the jeweler, Miss Beverly, will be the next Neal master.
The works of future masters must be collected as soon as possible!
The audience began to bid frantically.
Susie watched dumbfounded.
The price quickly rose from 1.2 million to 2.2 million, and these people were still bidding.
In the end, someone shouted 2.6 million.
For a moment, Susie even felt a little weak, the premium was too high, and the gem was not worth so much.
After thinking about it, I still have too soft a heart.
Think about a luxury brand, and the pearl earrings that sell thousands of pairs are actually plastic.
Another luxury brand, alloy bracelets with a cost price of up to a few dozen can be sold for thousands, and even leather rope bracelets can be sold for thousands.
Moreover, Susie doesn't think those things have any beauty at all, but they just sell logos, and the brand premium is too powerful.
But there are people who are willing to pay.
Susie had never bought these brands of jewelry in her previous life, and she wasn't stupid, she would rather buy those top gems at auction, or buy antiques.
Luxury goods are actually used to harvest the middle class.
Susie thinks that maybe Westerners like to engage in added value.
In this way, in order to design this brooch, she racked her brains for several months, and the design draft was changed again and again, and it took a lot of effort to have such a perfect presentation.
It's more worth the premium than those plastic pearl earrings.
In the end, the price stayed at 2.6 million francs, and the auction of the first prize was completed, and the whole auction was over.
Soon, all the remaining shortlisted works were placed on the booth.
Then the host announced the end of the award ceremony, and everyone was free to go on stage to watch the shortlisted works.
If you are interested in purchasing, you can contact the organizer.
Every piece of jewelry sold here is given a cut by the organizers.
The lights in the whole venue were all turned on, and many people walked towards the booth, after all, it was better to look at the photos than to see the real thing.
Davy, who was in the back seat, immediately walked over, "Miss Beverly, I love that brooch you designed so much, it's the first time I've seen such a jewel." ”
Susie smiled, "I also like your work, the design is very unique. ”
David said very sincerely, "Miss Beverly, can we exchange contact information, I think we can discuss jewelry design together in the future." ”
Susie nodded, she opened her handbag, took out a notepad and pen and wrote down her address and phone number.
David also wrote her his address.
At this time, a staff member came over to Susie and said, "Miss Beverly, please come with me over there, show your receipt, and then collect your check." ”
The staff was very kind to pack Susie's crystal trophy in a bag, and then took Susie to get the check.
When the check was taken, Susie looked at it, and only ten percent of the commission was charged, and two million three hundred and forty thousand francs were received.
After collecting the check, Susie looked around and was about to go to Master Neil, when she saw Master Neil walking towards him.
The two hugged intimately again, and Master Neil smiled: "I like your work very much, I was going to buy it and collect it, but unfortunately, they called the price too high." ”
Susie laughed, "I still want to collect your work, I liked that necklace last time." ”
Neil nodded, "That necklace is my best work so far, and I've put it in my study." ”
The two were talking, and not far away, Zhou Baozhu stared at them with envy.
She felt that Susie was her nemesis.
The man she fancied liked Susie, and even Susie did better than her in her career!
Zhou Baozhu stood near her jewelry display case, and it was the ruby flower basket she designed that the judges scored less than 60 points.
She still remembered the last time she talked to Master Neil, and Master Neil didn't give him any face, so she didn't dare to go over at this time.
Then Zhou Baozhu saw her favorite star Anna walk over and talk to Susie and Master Neil.
Anna is the one who took pictures of the lily of the valley brooch, and she loved it very much when she saw it, and felt that this brooch was very suitable for her temperament.
At this moment, Anna smiled: "It turns out that Miss Beverly is a student of Master Neil, no wonder the design works are so aura. ”
