章 739: Chapter 739: The Flower Between Fingers
After admiring the few pieces of jewellery on the coffee table, everyone's attention immediately shifted, turning their heads to look at the two rusty old safes in the center of the living room.
"Steven, how you want open these two cumbersome guys? Did you want do it yourself and open using a stethoscope? Or do we do it and cut it directly with gas welding?"
Kenny asked excitedly, already gearing up, eager to try.
"Don't be kidding! This thing has been eroded by sea water for more than 30 years. I don't know what the rust looks like inside. The transmission system must have been scrapped long ago. Even if we know the password, we can't open it.
Cut directly, it saves trouble, but the cutting location cannot be here, let's go to the stern, pay attention to safety, and put more stuff, the safe must be dirty, don't pollute the deck!"
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head, and raised his finger in the direction of the yacht's stern.
"You are right, just cut it directly, let's start, really want to see what is stored in these two safes!"
With that, Kenny and the others stood up and began to move the safe to the stern. Everyone was in high spirits! Energetic!
In a blink of an eye, these two heavy safes were moved out of the living room and onto the deck of the stern recreation area, ready to start cutting!
Ye Tian and Matisse did not get up to follow them, but stayed in the living room and waited for the result.
The others followed. Everyone wanted to witness the opening of the two safes and see what's inside!
While getting up and walking towards the stern, Orlando asked curiously:
"Raymond, what did Kenny just say about opening the safe with a stethoscope to listen to the password? Could it be that Steven can really open the safe with a stethoscope, is it? This is too illusory!"
"You heard it right, just using a stethoscope to listen to the password to open the safe. It sounds very mysterious and unbelievable, but this is a fact that we have witnessed, there is no doubt!
And Steven opened the safe with a stethoscope extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he opened a tightly locked safe, effortlessly!
When we saw this scene, everyone was stunned. The scene was absolutely breathtaking. Up to now, we have only seen Steven do this, and don't heard anyone else do it!
This is Steven's unique skill, that's why Kenny said that."
Raymond smiled and nodded and said, giving an affirmative answer.
"Ah! How is this possible? Isn't that a thief! And the most awesome thief!"
Johnny, who was walking in the front, turned around and exclaimed, with an incredible expression on his face, and there was some fear in the depths of his eyes.
"Hahaha, yes, it's a thief! This description is very appropriate!"
Matisse, who was still sitting on the sofa, said with a big smile, and turned to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian could only shook his head and smiled bitterly, this name doesn't sound very good!
Talking, everyone has walked out of the living room and came to the stern recreation area.
Then, Miller and the others began to get busy, and it didn't take long before they were ready to cut the safe.
Immediately afterwards, a strong light gleamed from the recreation area at the stern, and the sound of high temperature burning metal followed.
"Now--!"
About ten minutes later, the first safe was successfully cut open, and there was a burst of cheers from the stern side.
Soon, these cheers turned into disappointed sighs.
From the changes in everyone's voice and mood, Ye Tian immediately heard that the first one to be cut was the safe found in the captain's room.
There are very few things in that safe, so it's clear at a glance!
There were a scrapped pistol and several magazines, tens of thousands of same scrapped US dollars, two small jewelry boxes, and some documents that were soaked in seawater.
Seeing this, everyone is naturally disappointed!
After a while, the glare of the stern recreation area reappeared, extremely dazzling!
The second safe has been put on the cushion and started cutting.
In a blink of an eye, another ten minutes or so passed, and cheers came again, and at the same time, Miller and the others were talking.
"Hey! There is also a jewelry box in this safe, and it is so big, I don't know what jewelry is in it, or if there is nothing in it."
"This time we might get a big surprise. This is a Harry Winston's jewelry box, one of the super jewelry brands, famous all over the world for the craftsmanship of diamond cutting and setting!
Although the scenery of this jewelry box has been eroded by the sea water, the exquisiteness and luxury of it can still be seen vaguely. It can be seen that the jewelry stored in it must be very valuable!"
It was Johnny who said this, very confident!
As a Hollywood superstar, he is naturally familiar to top jewelry brands, and his taste is quite extraordinary!
"Wow! If that is the case, it would be great! Let's take these jewelry boxes back to the living room and open them one by one to see if we can find surprises!"
When the voice fell, Miller and the others immediately began to clean these jewelry boxes.
After rinsing them, they immediately took a few jewelry boxes and other things they took out of the safe, and walked quickly towards the living room.
Soon, everyone entered the living room and took their seats. All the items taken from the safes were placed on the coffee table, right in front of everyone.
The two Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry boxes were small, a pistol that was badly corroded and turned into scrap, and tens of thousands of dollars were completely scrapped. These all came from the safe found in the captain's room.
As for the documents stored in the safe, they have no value at all. Miller and the others did not bring them, and they will return to the sea with the safe cutted later!
In addition to these, there is a jewelry box on the coffee table, from the top jewelry brand Harry Winston.
This jewelry box is not small in size, about 30/40 cm, and is quite exquisitely made. The whole is made of black walnut wood, inlaid with gold edges, and beautifully carved on the surface.
In addition, there are two lady bags from the top luxury brand Hermes, but the styles have long been outdated and completely scrapped and have no value.
After sitting down, everyone immediately looked at the jewelry boxes in front of them, focusing on Harry Winston's jewelry box. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation.
"Steven, you and Matisse discovered this Peruvian cargo ship. It's up to you to open these jewelry boxes and see what's inside."
Kenny suggested, and everyone else nodded, with no disagreement.
Ye Tian didn't decline either, and immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Well then! This pistol and tens of thousands of dollars have been completely scrapped and have no value at all. Later, put them back in the safe and throw them directly into the sea!
The same goes for Hermès handbags. Check if there is anything in it, and then throw it into the sea. The bottom of the sea is their home. A few hundred years later, these things may become valuable antiques!"
"Okay! But I am afraid it is difficult for these things to become antiques. They were kept relatively well in the airtight environment of the safe until they were discovered by us.
Now that the safe has been cut open, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be digested and decomposed by marine life. Except for the pistol and the safe itself, I estimate that there will nothing left!"
Miller nodded and said with a smile.
"Then it has nothing to do with us! Now let's open these jewelry boxes, first of all, start with these Van Cleef & Arpels, and hope to have surprising discoveries!"
With that, Ye Tian picked up a Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry box and opened it casually.
When the jewelry box was opened, a peculiar diamond ring immediately appeared in front of everyone, bursting with brilliant light!
This is a ring between the fingers, a ring created by Van Cleef & Arpels, known as the flower between the fingers!
At the top of the ring are two small butterflies that are inlaid with diamonds and pink sapphires, leaping to fly! One butterfly is silvery white and the other is pink. The shape is very beautiful and vivid!
The ring setting inlaid with broken diamonds and pink sapphires are made of rose gold and white gold respectively, noble but not superficial, very elegant!
The ring finger ring is made of platinum, with rounded lines, simple and smooth, giving people a white and flawless feeling!
The only regret is that the two white pearls inlaid on the ring and used as the body of a butterfly have basically lost their luster at this time, and have become a little yellow and dark!
But this can all be repaired, just send the ring back to Van Cleef & Arpels to them repair.
After cleaning it again, this ring between the fingers will immediately regain its most beautiful light!
If considering the size of diamonds and pink sapphires, the value of this ring is not very high! The diamonds and pink sapphire particles inlaid on it are very small, not worth much!
As for rose gold and platinum, there is not much value!
But the preciousness of this ring between the fingers lies in the ingenious design, the ingenious diamond setting craftsmanship, and the halo effect of the Van Cleef & Arpels brand!
In the field of jewelry, Van Cleef & Arpels and Harry Winston are equally famous, equivalent to Patek Philippe in the watch, and their status is still above the famous jewelry brands such as Cartier and Tiffany. It can be described as the top luxury!
The moment the jewelry box was opened, there was an admiration in the living room.
"Wow! This thing is so beautiful, the design is so distinctive, I like this piece of jewelry!"
"Me too, but who knows what it is? It looks like a ring, but the top is separated. I really haven't seen this kind of jewelry before, my eyes are open!"
Although they were amazed, Kenny and the others couldn't recognize the purpose of the jewellery in front of them, and they didn't understand its name.
Only Ye Tian, a senior professional treasure hunter, and two Hollywood stars knew what it was and understood its value.
After a short pause, Orlando began to answer questions for everyone.
"This is the ring between the fingers of Van Cleef & Arpels, and it is also a kind of ring. It is a ring unique to the top brand of Van Cleef & Arpels. It is very beautiful and is known as the flower between the fingers!
I didn't expect to see a ring between the fingers here, and it was a Van Cleef & Arpels work decades ago. It can be said to be quite rare. I'm sure, this ring between the fingers is absolutely valuable!"
As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded.
"Orlando is right. In the antique market, the ring between the fingers representing Van Cleef & Arpels' unique creativity is rare, and even fewer with decades of history! And the appearance is so outstanding!
The market value of this ring between the fingers should be around US$120,000. If it is sent to a large-scale auction, it is not impossible to double the price with a little speculation!"
Hearing these words, a sound of admiration suddenly sounded in the living room.
