The car drove towards an amethyst factory. According to Ms. Luo Shan, this company is also the largest amethyst manufacturer in Sri Lanka. Because of Hong Luo's relationship, Luo Tian communicated with Ms. Luo Shan the most, which also attracted the attention of representatives from other jewelry companies.
Looking a little jealous, Ms. Luo Shan didn't actually know Luo Tian. The conversation between the two was just based on the most basic exchanges. Crystal jewelry now has a large market share in Tianyi Jewelry, mainly because young people nowadays
The orientation led to the popularity of crystal jewelry.
After some exchanges with Ms. Luo Shan, Luo Tian gained new inspiration. Ms. Luo Shan has 40 years of experience in the jewelry industry. She has unique insights into building jewelry brands. Luo Tian worked with her
After some exchanges, I immediately thought why not create a unique sub-brand under the big Tianyi jewelry brand, so as to enhance the competitiveness of the product. Judging from Hong Luo's appearance, he seemed to feel the same way.
Just as Ms. Luo Shan kept inspiring Luo Tian's thinking, the car stopped, "We're here." Ms. Luo Shan said, "Please get out of the car."
The scale of this factory does not seem to be large. Like many factories in China, they are all bungalows. Only the office building is double-storey. It looks very simple and is very clean and refreshing. This fact makes people feel good about it. All the gems
They are all the same, they are all polished from raw stones, and amethyst is no exception.
So when everyone gets out of the car and enters the yard, the first thing they see is crystal rough stones. Crystals are not actually precious gemstones, but they are becoming more and more popular in the market because of their medical effects and low price. Now crystals on the market
There are more and more synthetic crystal jewelry appearing in jewelry. Some jewelry companies will never admit that their crystals are synthetic crystals and call themselves "natural". In fact, synthetic and natural can be distinguished.
"Luo Tian, can you gamble on raw crystal stones?" Cheng Zhen, who saw raw crystal stones for the first time, asked.
"You can bet on jadeite rough stones because of their internal texture, seed water, and unpredictable color. Even experienced people often miss because there is too much luck. As for crystals, the rough stones are mostly transparent or transparent.
It is translucent, and the difference between the inside and outside is not very big. In most cases, its texture can be clearly seen at a glance. For people with professional knowledge and certain experience, it is not particularly difficult to judge the texture inside the rough crystal stone. It is only for beginners.
It seems a bit mysterious to collectors. The so-called gambling must mean that this matter must be very unpredictable. When it comes to gambling on crystal rough stones, it is definitely far inferior to jade rough stones." Luo Tian said: "
And in terms of the price of rough stones, the difference between the two is not even a little bit different."
"For novices, it still means gambling, right?" Cheng Zhen said: "Like me, I have no understanding of rough crystal stones, so when I buy rough stones, it means gambling."
"Nowadays, some people are indeed addicted to gambling on stones. Because the price of raw jade stones is high, they turn to crystals. The same gambling method is to open a window and bet on the texture of the crystals inside." Luo Tian frowned.
The price of crystals has been increased, but in the long run, there is no benefit."
The manufacturer attaches great importance to Chinese jewelers coming to participate. Not only does it have a dedicated person responsible for reception, but it also participates in the process of crystal rough stones and crystal samples. This is a manufacturer mainly focusing on amethyst.
Amethyst is called amethyst in English, which is translated from the Greek ∧.m.t.h.Υ.s.t. In ancient Greek, it means "not drunk". A beautiful and distant legend tells that wine is hidden deep in amethyst.
God's guilt and shame. According to legend, drinking from a glass made of amethyst can keep you awake.
The legend of amethyst comes from Bacchus, the god of wine. It is said that Bacchus, the god of wine, once played a drunken prank and pushed a beautiful girl named Amestre in front of a beast. The wine accidentally spilled on the sculpture.
Slowly, the stone turned into a beautiful amethyst. In order to make up for it, the goddess Diana happened to see all this. In order to save the girl from being harmed, she cast a spell to turn the girl into a white stone sculpture.
Buxor suddenly woke up and regretted it, because he found that he had been deeply fascinated by this white statue. When he was sad, the wine in his hand accidentally spilled on the sculpture, and slowly the stone turned into a beautiful statue.
Amethyst, in order to make up for his fault and commemorate the girl, the god of wine named amethyst after the girl's name - amethyst.
In many Western countries, amethyst is not only used as a sobering stone to decorate men's jewelry and clothing, but also as a lucky gemstone for performing artists, which is particularly favored. The ancient Romans were also used to cleanse sins and hold memorial ceremonies in February.
In rituals of the dead, amethyst is used as a symbol of tabooing lewdness, preventing self-narcissism, and maintaining honesty and rationality, so it is set in the rings of bishops and priests.
16 Historical Records: Spanish court painter Velázquez was a great artist who loved Greek mythology and had a special liking for amethyst. He used the spirit and warning given to him by amethyst to paint a picture of the seductive Philip IV.
In the palace, he only relied on his extraordinary talent to work diligently and won the king's trust and favor. In his later years, he personally designed a gemstone laurel for the king with the theme of "fertility", with a gold base dotted with emeralds.
The leaf of the gemstone and the main stone are grapes carved from a large piece of amethyst... This laurel wreath is collected in the Museum of Fine Arts and History in Vienna. Amethyst is the commemorative gemstone for the 17th wedding anniversary. The reason is that the relationship between husband and wife during this period was due to the burden of life.
It is heavy and prone to cracks. The purpose of giving amethyst jewelry is to remind the other party to be particularly wary of the "temptation of the devil".
In Asia, the unparalleled noble purple is also a symbol of the dignity of the Japanese royal family; in Europe and the United States, amethyst is also a commemorative gemstone for 20th birthdays; in addition, amethyst is also the national stone of Uruguay.
The raw crystal stone area was being processed in full swing. It was inconvenient for everyone to stop and walk towards the exhibition hall. There were already processed amethyst jewelry. As jewelry designers, Hong Luo and Ling Xiaoxiao were immediately interested. After asking, everyone could use their hands.
Playing with these samples in his hands, Luo Tian picked up one piece and faced the sunshine outside. He saw that a magnificent two-color color immediately appeared in the amethyst. It was very beautiful. Only the best crystals can have such brilliance.
, Luo Tianliang showed it to Cheng Zhen, and Cheng Zhen nodded repeatedly: "It's so beautiful."
"This is the sample area, so naturally the best amethysts are placed here." Luo Tian said: "Amethysts are produced in a wide range of places in the world. In addition to Sri Lanka, there are also Uruguay. The amethysts produced in Uruguay have always been purple.
The most advanced shade of purple in crystal. This purple is very deep, very delicate, with a burgundy fire. In recent years, it has been almost discontinued. It is a must-have product in high-end jewelry stores around the world. It is also in line with the saying, everything is the best.
Rare and expensive, there is also Korean amethyst, which is bluish-purple. Over the years, the output has become less and less. Zambian amethyst usually has smaller particles and rarely has very good clarity, but the color is strange and purple.
It has a beautiful red tone and does not turn black even when viewed from a distance, so it has a high value, but unfortunately the output is not large. Speaking of which, most of the imported crystals on the market now come from Brazil. The color is not the highest grade, but the output is large.
."
"What about China?" Cheng Zhen asked.
"Of course there is mass production. Most of our company's current crystal raw materials come from Xinjiang and Shanxi. Shanxi's amethyst has been mined for hundreds of years. Amethyst is produced in other places, such as Yunnan and Henan, but it has always been
It's the foreign monks who can chant sutras, but the imported ones are different." After Luo Tian said, the representatives of other jewelry companies also laughed and couldn't help but echoed: "Isn't that right? Nowadays, the worship of foreigners and foreigners is basically involved in various industries.
"
It was rare that the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone started to communicate. The manufacturer representatives also took the opportunity to exchange business cards with everyone. This kind of visit is inherently commercial in nature, and these things are inevitable. Having said that, this manufacturer's purple
Crystal is really good and worthy of attention.
Hong Luo and Ling Xiaoxiao kept talking over there. Crystal was used in a series of perfume bottles that Ling Xiaoxiao designed for Yumeiren Perfume Company. It can be said that crystal is one of the materials that Ling Xiaoxiao is familiar with. The two talked.
They were very warm. Luo Tian saw that the two designers now have some tacit understanding, and he was very happy. As the company expands, the designer team must absorb fresh blood, but before that, there must be
The core characters, Hong Luo and Ling Xiaoxiao, are the core that I want to stabilize.
After leaving the amethyst manufacturer, without even getting in the car, he came to another Haoshi manufacturer. Luo Tian was a little interested in Haoshi, because Haoshi does not currently have much appeal in the Chinese market.
However, Luo Tian has never underestimated its future potential. Hao Shi is also known as Hyacinth Stone.
There are many kinds of zircon, and different zircon will have different colors, such as red, yellow, orange, brown, green or colorless and transparent, etc. The cut gem-grade zircon is very similar to a diamond, which is precisely because
This point triggered a big discussion when Haoshi jewelry first appeared in the Chinese market. The focus of the discussion was whether zircon could replace diamonds. Now everyone basically knows that zircon will replace diamonds.
It will still take some time.
