Chapter 315
Looking at the so-called emerald ring in my hand, the entire ring holder was made of platinum, and the emerald gems in it exuded a hint of temptation. However, this green is so green that it is a bit fake and has nowhere to hide!
Although Jia Sidao felt a little emotional that it was not very easy to deal with gems like emeralds, but in the final analysis, Jia Sidao still felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, the Miss Wang in front of him did not send some other things that he didn't know at all. Otherwise, Jia Sidao would have a bigger "ugly".
After recalling carefully, Jia Sidao vaguely remembers that there are many methods for identifying emeralds such as emeralds, such as using Chelsea color filters, heavy liquid method, observation with bowls of water, braziers, etc. However, if it is only judged by the eyes alone, it is still not easy to identify. This is what Lao Wang said. Although it can be very accurate for jewelry of any substance in the jewelry and jade inspection center, once it reaches the appraisal conference, or in the ordinary jewelry trading market, the identification of jewelry and jade is a troublesome thing.
All walks of life have their own potential rules.
You can't bring your gem microscope to the jewelry store to choose the jewelry you want, right? Anyone who has been in the jewelry and jade business knows that when trading jewelry, there is an unwritten rule. The buyer and seller basically do not bring these instruments, otherwise they will be embarrassed. People will think that you are a rookie, and you will ask for a price when you open your mouth. It is difficult to do business normally.
Or, you might as well bring a professional expert to choose. However, this is still a very niche group. Even people like Jia Sidao who are hiding in antiques business will have some insight if they choose jade or something, but if they choose other calligraphy and paintings, they may still be blind and can't recognize anything.
Therefore, most of the time, the jewelry and jade market, like the antique market, is very chaotic. Not to mention those on the surface, such as using multiple jewelry on one certificate and using multiple accessories together, just bullying customers is not aware of it. They sell some real things that are second-level and are used as high-level things, and few people can recognize them!
Of course, there are many customers who have been deceived, but, at the same time, the attractiveness of these jewelry and jade itself is also very huge. Let’s say it is the emerald gems currently.
According to legend, six thousand years ago, some people presented it to the statue of the goddess in ancient Babylon. You must know that it was six thousand years ago. It can be seen that the love for jewelry and jade has been there since ancient times! In the ancient Chaldean country in the Persian Gulf, women even had a special liking for emerald jewelry.
Even in ancient Egypt and Greeks thousands of years ago, they also liked to use emeralds as jewelry. Similarly, Chinese people's preference for emeralds is not inferior to people from all over the world. Not to mention the distant ones, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties especially like emeralds. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty regarded it as as precious as golden green cat eyes, and there was a saying that "the ritual crown needs cat eyes, emeralds". The jade belt of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was inlaid with an extra-large emerald, which is now hidden in the Dingling Museum of the Ming Tombs of the Ming Dynasty. As for the more famous Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, the golden silk brocade quilt covered after her death, in addition to a large number of pearls and other gems, there were also two emerald gems weighing about 5 cents each.
In addition, emerald is also known as the birth stone in May, symbolizing luck and happiness. Wearing it will bring people a lifetime of peace. Therefore, more often, emerald is also a commemorative stone for the 5th anniversary of the marriage and the 55th anniversary.
However, although the name of emerald looks very old-fashioned, it is considered to be of the generation of "grandmother". Many young people nowadays think that only grandmothers or older people can wear this kind of gem. In society, older people also wear it. In fact, this is not the case. To put it bluntly, "emerald" is also an imported product from the West, and was originally translated as "zumurud" in ancient Persian.
Therefore, it is not only worn by older people, but also suitable for young people.
At this moment, when she saw the young Miss Wang in front of her, she sent her "emerald" ring for identification. Jia Sidao was very happy. Although this "emerald" ring itself is a fake!
Seeing that Lao Wang, Zhou Fugui and others who were explaining the "Ye Mingzhu" there were all here, Jia Sidao briefly mentioned the characteristics of emeralds and began to judge the emerald ring in front of him! What kind of scientific method can easily distinguish the authenticity of the thing, what kind of touch can have a good discernment effect, and so on. Hearing that the experts on the side nodded frequently.
People who are unknown to Zhou Sha will think that Jia Sidao is a specialist in identifying emeralds.
Of course, perhaps, people like Miss Wang will even think that experts are omnipotent. Just like Jia Sidao, in Ms. Wang's eyes, in addition to emeralds, all jades, diamonds, etc. should be identified. No way, Ms. Wang can take out any porcelain things hidden in her bag at this time, and ask Jia Sidao to identify them.
"By the way, expert, the way you mentioned just now is not easy to find, so do we need to wait and send the thing to the testing center you mentioned to know the test result?" Zhou Sha asked in the camera lens, and then looked at Jia Sidao with anticipation. The microphone in his hand was even more appropriate to deliver it to Jia Sidao!
"This,..." Jia Sidao thought about it. It was really like this. I can't say that I could judge it based on my feelings. After a slight hesitation, Ms. Wang's heart was flooded with hope again. Jia Sidao could only explain, saying, "Actually, we have encountered many situations like Ms. Wang before. When we entered a tour group, it was equivalent to falling into a tiger's den. The guide's methods were many. The usual tricks were like asking tourists to get off the bus and take them to the local jewelry store to buy jewelry. If you insist on not buying it, you will get angry at you and use language to stimulate you to say that you have no money and dare to travel abroad. On the one hand, there are cold words from others, and on the other hand, under the temptation of discounts, naturally, there are many people who paid for the so-called face to buy these fakes and came back...."
"I think it's really possible after hearing what the experts said," said Ms. Wang. "When I went to Singapore, the tour guide often asked us to buy things."
"Yes." Jia Sidao nodded and looked at Miss Wang. Only this time did he suddenly feel that, in fact, as long as he looks like Miss Wang, he has a pretty figure, as long as he doesn't wear makeup and is very charming, but he has heavy makeup, but he has some flowers on the street. In fact, he is still pretty.
"However, such a trap is not limited to emeralds..." Jia Sidao said, and found that he had changed the subject a little. Instead, he continued to point to the emerald ring in his hand, saying, "There is also a relatively simple method to identify the authenticity of this thing, because emeralds have a relatively high hardness and can mark some scars on the standard crystal hardness sheet, while imitation glass cannot. I guess that your emerald ring has the emerald gems inlaid on it, which are made of glass."
"Glass?" Miss Wang was stunned.
"Yes. Just take the standard crystal tablet and use a gentle stroke to determine it,..." Jia Sidao nodded. However, at the scene of the antique identification event, it was difficult to find the crystal tablet for a while and it was difficult to find the Chelsea color filter that could analyze the characteristics of emeralds. So, as he said, Jia Sidao himself got a little stuck. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in his mind said, "Of course, at this moment, I don't have standard crystal tablets on my hands, so it's not easy to do the experiment directly. However, if this thing is glass, you can lick it with your tongue to see if there is any coolness that emerald gems should have. If there is, you should use other more scientific and precise judgment methods to identify it. But if there is not, you can carefully distinguish whether it feels warm, because only green glass can have such heat conductivity."
As he said that, Jia Sidao handed back the emerald ring he held in his hand to Miss Wang.
The rings used by others to wear on their hands are in public, so it is naturally not convenient for Jia Sidao to do this identification method himself. Anyway, all the processes are relatively simple. After Jia Sidao handed the ring back to Miss Wang, Ms. Wang herself could judge it.
Taking out the napkin, Miss Wang wiped the emerald ring hard, pursed her lips, and hesitated slightly. While thinking about whether to use her tongue to add it, Zhou Sha next to her looked at Miss Wang curiously. In Jia Sidao's opinion, it was a bit like if Miss Wang didn't try it himself, Zhou Sha would have the feeling of taking the lead.
In addition, some other collectors are now staring at Ms. Wang.
Whether it is Jia Sidao or other experts, they are not too enthusiastic about the appraisal methods that are too professional. After all, all appraisal methods require certain eyesight or strong instrument operation capabilities. These are not available to ordinary collectors.
But if there are some side ways, such as directly placing jade jewelry to the sun to see its transparency, gently tapping it to listen to the sound, or, now, touching the jewelry with your tongue and feeling the warmth, this kind of action is very popular among collectors!
For a moment, not only Zhou Sha, but also other collectors who were waiting in line, were quite eager to try it out.
"Xiao Jia, it seems that you have read a lot of books." Uncle Zhou Fugui, now he praised Jia Sidao with a little comment. There is an introduction in the book that according to the different heat conductivity of glass and emeralds, licking green glass on the tongue will make you feel warm, while licking emeralds on the tongue will make you feel cool for a long time.
This method is simple, but in large jewelry stores, few people choose to use it!
Dirty is one aspect, but indecency is the biggest reason, right?
It really takes some courage to be a woman who licks jewelry with her tongue in public.
Finally, the doubts about the authenticity of her own things overcame the so-called face in her heart. Miss Wang stretched out her tongue, licked her emerald gems gently, and quickly shrank it back. Then, she seemed to have some strange expressions. She didn't feel the action just now, but she continued to stick out her tongue and licked it. Then she closed her mouth, took the emerald ring in front of her, looked it carefully, and said with a wry smile: "It's really as the experts said, it feels very much like glass!"
For a moment, Jia Sidao's somewhat nervous mood was completely calmed down!
Only Zhou Sha's expression on her face was obviously a little disappointed. The authenticity of the emerald ring was identified, but her second choice was another mistake. Three opportunities were wasted two times. For the time being, Jia Sidao didn't know what the results of these ten hosts had, but the pressure appeared on Zhou Sha's face, which was clearly visible!
Of course, when the camera lens was aimed at Zhou Sha, Zhou Sha's expression quickly returned to a light look and said, "I really didn't expect that such a simple way would be able to identify emerald rings worth tens of thousands or even tens of thousands. It can be seen that the antique collection industry is not so unpredictable. No matter how expensive the things are, there is a certain way of identification. Only when we understand these methods of identification, then the authenticity of the things cannot escape our judgment... But, the judgment of the jewelry I chose in the second time has made another mistake! Next, I have to think about it carefully. This third time, you can't make any mistakes again. As the saying goes, things are only three, so everyone wishes me good luck."
As soon as these words were finished, the camera lens naturally turned off.
At this time, Zhou Sha had time. She smiled ambiguously at Jia Sidao and said softly: "I can't tell, if you have identified jewelry, there are still some pretty things..." It seemed that the meaning of the words, and I already knew that on that night, what Jia Sidao said was just like lying to her!
In response to this, Jia Sidao could only smile bitterly and not say anything.
After all, Jia Sidao was still a little disliked in his heart! However, just as Jia Sidao was thinking that his ostrich measures should avoid unnecessary trouble, Wu Rui, who had been looking at the situation here, walked over and greeted Jia Sidao.
When Zhou Sha and Wu Rui's eyes met, for a moment, Jia Sidao felt that it was because of Zhou Sha's appearance and whispering to him that Wu Rui would come over and say hello to him? Otherwise, when Jia Sidao and Wu Rui lived in a three-bedroom apartment together, Wu Rui never took the initiative to say anything to Jia Sidao...
Of course, Ji Yanran walked to Jia Sidao's side in the following time and naturally praised Jia Sidao's words just now. Jia Sidao felt what kind of gunpowder smell was under this calm expression!
Even those few words of praise, especially words like "I performed well just now," heard a little more meaning in Jia Sidao's ears. Is it Ji Yanran subconsciously telling that the understanding of Jia Sidao, Zhou Sha and Wu Rui is very good?
In the whole house, it can also be said that the three most outstanding women at the entire antique appraisal event were all standing in one place, and they were divided into three directions, mixing Jia Sidao in the center. Jia Sidao didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.
Especially when seeing the many collectors in the room, when he looked at Jia Sidao, he felt extremely envious, and Jia Sidao felt faint in his heart!
Fortunately, Jia Sidao felt that the tricky time period passed quickly. Zhou Sha needed to continue to go to the square to find her third opportunity to take action; Wu Rui naturally would not leave her job alone, and was here specifically, looking at each other with Zhou Sha and Ji Yanran, and competing with each other with big eyes. As for Ji Yanran, it was even simpler. He turned around lightly and returned to his seat. It seemed that everything just happened to Jia Sidao's illusion.
It was not until this time that Jia Sidao suddenly realized that no matter whether it was a woman like Wu Rui, who had no rules in life, or a scheming woman who had been thinking about her mind all day long and wanted to seek help from someone with strength, or even a woman like Ji Yanran, who was usually deserted and arrogant to a certain level, when she had an opportunity to meet a place and compared her appearance to each other, she had a calm mentality that no one could overcome the usual! She would show her most beautiful side!
Of course, such beauty is just relative to them!...
