Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Cornflower Sapphire
The special auction of 'Magnificent Jewels' has started for an hour. The auction is progressing smoothly. The atmosphere on site is quite enthusiastic and many buyers are also very active in bidding!
As the bidding number plates one after another, one piece of dazzling jewellery was auctioned off one after another, which fell into the pockets of many buyers and the transaction prices were quite good.
As Ye Tian had expected before, the main buyers of these jewellery are women!
When they saw their favorite jewellery, their shots were very refreshing and clear! Not inferior to the male collectors who bid for antique art.
During this period, Ye Tian and Betty have not raised a plaque to bid, they just watched quietly. The set of sapphire jewelry that Betty liked has not yet appeared, so naturally they don't have to participate in the competition!
Sophie, who was not far behind, raised several times the plaque and took two pretty good jewellery pieces. Although the price is not expensive, only tens of thousands of dollars, it is very beautiful and worth the money!
The auction is still going on and the bidding number plates are constantly fluctuating. In addition to the loud voice of auctioneer Anthony, the sound of buyers' bidding can be heard from time to time. It is very lively!
At the moment, a Van Cleef & Arpels precious stone necklace is being auctioned on the stage and there are many competitors!
However, Betty is not concerned about this gemstone necklace, but the auction catalog in her hands!
She is admiring a set of pictures of sapphire jewellery on the auction catalog. She looks very focused, her eyes are shining and her eyes are full of expectation and desire!
This is Betty's favorite set of jewelry, which makes her fascinated!
Seeing her performance, Ye Tian suddenly laughed softly and then asked in a low voice:
"My dear, will you raise the plaque by yourself or me later? This set of jewelry is about to start shooting!"
"I want to raise the plaque by myself, can I? One more thing, how much should I ask for this set of sapphire jewellery? I don't quite understand, lest I bid a higher price then I will lose!
Betty replied in a low voice, her expression was very excited and excited!
"Of course you can bid with a plaque! This is a set of Kashmir sapphire jewelry. If the information is correct, then this set of jewelry should be regarded as a very rare jewelry! It is very valuable!
The estimate given by Sotheby's auction house is about 850,000 US dollars, which is a bit low. Kashmir sapphire resources have basically been exhausted. With its rarity, the price will definitely become more and more expensive!
As long as the price of this set of jewelry is less than 2.6 million US dollars, it is worth the shot, but since you like it, it is worth all the money. You can bid without considering the price factor!"
Ye Tian explained a few words in a low voice and gave the best answer.
"Wow! I thought 1 million dollars would be your limit! I didn't expect you to value it so high!"
Betty exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes widened, obviously frightened!
"These sapphires are cornflower blue. They are the top Kashmir sapphires. The market price per carat is about 39,000 U.S. dollars and 135,000 U.S. dollars. It is very rare and worth the price!"
"Okay! I'll put up a plaque according to your estimate later. Even if it exceeds $2.6 million, there is a set of sapphire jewelry after. That set is also very beautiful and it must not be that expensive!"
"The sapphire of that set of jewelry is made in Sri Lanka, which is far worse than this set. If you want to buy it, we will buy the best one. Price is the second issue!"
Ye Tian turned the auction catalog to the back, glanced at another set of sapphire jewelry, then shook his head and denied Betty's proposal.
Since better ones are in front of them, why don't buy?
When the two were discussing in a low voice, Gisele Bündchen next to them suddenly intervened.
"Steven, Betty, are you interested in this set of sapphire jewelry? I want this set of jewelry too and I am here for it today!"
"Yes! Gisele, we are going to win this set of sapphire jewellery. It seems that we are going to become bidders competitors."
Ye Tian smiled and replied, full of confidence.
"Okay! I really don't want to compete with you for the same piece of jewellery, but whoever makes me like it too, then I can only compete fairly and the one with the higher price will get it!"
Gisele Bündchen said with a smile, also very confident.
This super beauty is not a person who lacks money! It is completely a gold machine and is the endorsement of many top brands, any one of which is at the level of tens of millions of dollars!
Her husband Tom Brady is equally capable of making money and that is the greatest quarterback in NFL history! Not only the superstar on the court, but also the darling of advertisers.
Facing such a powerful opponent, Ye Tian didn't dare to take it lightly, lest he lose the forehead and lose to this beauty.
While talking, the auction on the stage has ended.
The Van Cleef & Arpels precious stone necklace was sold for 45,000 US dollars and the winning bidder was a middle-aged lady.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the temporary safe opened again and two Sotheby's staff came out, one of whom was holding an exquisite and beautiful jewelry box in his hand.
They quickly walked to the auction stage and immediately began to set up the exhibition! The detailed pictures of this set of jewelry and related information are simultaneously played on the big screen.
When the picture of this set of jewellery appeared in front of everyone, there was an admiration immediately.
"Wow! The color is as pure as the blue with purple. It is worthy of being a top sapphire. It's so charming!"
"This is the top Kashmir sapphire. Of course it's perfect! The price is even more perfect. Sotheby's valued it at 850,000 U.S. dollars! The transaction price must be more than 1 million U.S. dollars!"
Ye Tian didn't pay attention to the pictures on the big screen, but kept looking at the real objects on the display stand.
After the two staff members finished setting up the exhibition, they immediately turned around and left the auction stand.
At this moment, there were no obstacles in front of Ye Tian and he could start the identification.
Only through the perspectivee appraisal, he can truly determine whether this set of jewellery is worth $2.6 million and he will be able to know it later when he bids for it.
Without hesitation, he immediately turned on the perspective ability and began to observe this set of top sapphire jewelry through perspective.
In the next second, his sight went directly through the space, thoroughly seeing through this set of sapphire jewelry, all the details inside and outside of the jewelry were presented in his eyes very clearly, without any omission!
There is no air bubbles inside, which can be ruled out of the suspicion of glass; the crystals are messy and disorderly, the color purity is high, not dazzling and the brilliance is naturally emitted from the inside to the outside, which can be determined to be a natural gem;
The refractive index of the sapphire inlaid on the six pieces of jewelry is basically the same, which can rule out the possibility of a false stone; there are a large number of fine silk-like inclusions in the gemstone, which is the most basic feature of the star sapphire.
These filamentous inclusions are arranged in parallel and can show a silky velvet texture in the hard and strong metallic texture of sapphire, which is a unique feature of Kashmir sapphire.
From these, it can be completely determined that this set of jewelry is indeed Kashmiri sapphire jewelry.
The sapphires inlaid on the jewell of six pieces have no cracks, pure color and perfect cut. The color is as pure as the sky, rich and slightly purple, which is very similar to the color of the German national flower cornflower!
There is no doubt that this is the top Kashmir sapphire, also known as cornflower sapphire!
The price of 2.6 million US dollars is definitely worth the money, even a bit low! It's worth it!
After drawing the conclusion of the appraisal, Ye Tian immediately retracted the perspective and looked at Betty beside him.
Betty is staring at the jewelry on the display stand at this time, her eyes are shining, she is very focused and she looks drunk, she has been completely attracted by this set of top sapphire jewelry!
"My dear, wake up, the auction will begin soon!"
Ye Tian smiled and said, awakening his addicted girlfriend.
"My dear, this set of sapphire jewelry is so beautiful! The real thing is more charming than the photo, I must take this set of jewelry!"
After some praise, Betty expressed her determination to win.
"Since you like it so much, just show up! Don't worry about the price, whatever you want! I just checked it by visual inspection. This is indeed the top cornflower sapphire.
Ye Tian gave the most accurate identification conclusion and also gave Betty strong support.
Before his words fell, auctioneer Anthony's loud voice suddenly came.
The auction has begun!
