Due to the huge pressure on the seafloor below 2,000 meters, the red corals there have a denser texture.
Since the mining of deep-sea red coral is more difficult and the output is less, the price of deep-sea red coral is higher.
Korean Peacock's Peacock Island red coral is a rising star. Although the quality of its red coral products is good, it is still uncompetitive compared with the red corals produced in some famous red coral producing areas. The main reason is that its reputation is not as good as others.
It is now recognized in the world that there are three types of real gem-quality red corals: Aka Red (produced in Japan, relatively few on Bend Island), Momo (Peach Red, produced on Bend Island), and Sardine (produced in the Mediterranean, Italy).
Korean Peacock has only been able to gain some ground in the international market by grabbing part of Wandao's Aka red and pink corals. However, compared with some old coral brands, there is still a certain gap. The main reason is that Korean Peacock does not have a fixed product.
A relatively famous coral origin.
The red coral that the boss took out was a red coral potted plant. The height reached 60 centimeters, and the width was even more exaggerated, directly exceeding 80 centimeters. This was a red coral tree, lying horizontally over one meter long.
In the white porcelain basin, it looks very impressive.
It was this momentum that immediately attracted the attention of Han Kongque and others. However, Han Kongque only took one glance and was attracted by the boss's words.
"Is this Hawaiian red coral?" Han Peacock was immediately shocked when he saw such a big red coral. If it was really ox-blood red, how much would it cost? So he looked at the boss with a bit of contempt.
"Of course, the authentic Hawaiian ox blood red only costs four hundred dollars," the boss said very naturally.
Huangshan looked at Han Peacock, whose face kept twitching, and thought he was going to miss something again this time, so he immediately said: "It looks good, but four hundred dollars is still too expensive."
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Jin Yao said.
Huang Shan glared and said: "You couple understand? You have only been studying jewelry appraisal for a few days? Now I am free. From today on, I will also start to learn about the world of jewelry, and I will design coral products in the future."
"It's shameful. If it were ox blood red, this pot of red coral would definitely sell for a sky-high price." Jin Yao said.
When Huang Shan heard this, he immediately glared at Jin Yao, then turned to look at the stall owner. Sure enough, when Jin Yao said this, the stall owner had already become suspicious, and he was carefully examining the pot of red coral.
"Don't talk nonsense." Huangshan warned.
Han Kongque naturally heard their discussion, and he was even more amused. He only bought ox blood red for four hundred dollars. When did Aka Red Coral become worthless?
Aka red coral is a type of red coral. It is only produced in the Japan Strait and Bendashima Strait. It is the top category of red coral jewelry. The color is reddish and dark red. The good color is also called oxblood red and is expensive.
, mainly used as ring faces, earrings, pendants, etc., and also used as beads, with white hearts.
"You wouldn't take away this treasure from me just because you thought it was really four hundred dollars, would you? Four hundred dollars is four hundred, four million, do you understand?" At this time, a sneer appeared on the boss's face, and that was it.
Still picking up leaks? I'll trick you to death.
"You were talking about four hundred dollars just now, but now it's four million dollars?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
The stall owner rolled his eyes and said: "Who knew you were newbies who didn't understand anything? Don't you Chinese know best about code words and slang? Four hundred means four million. I told you from the beginning, this is Hawaiian beef.
How can blood-red coral, a red coral that has reached the Aka grade, be taken away for $400? Four hundred dollars a gram is still about the same."
"How much? Four hundred dollars per gram? Is this a money grab?" Huangshan said in surprise.
The stall owner said with a look of disdain on his face: "You can make more money by robbing me?"
Han Kongque was speechless. He naturally knew that ox-blood red coral was expensive, but your pot of red coral was too big, right?
It seems like it’s more than a few kilograms anyway, even if it’s one kilogram, then you’re selling it cheap.
Although he was despised in his heart, Han Kongque didn't say anything more. He knew that when it came to interests, everything was possible. Since he didn't want to buy it, there was no need to say more.
Oxblood red coral is very good. If it is Aka grade, then the price is even more expensive. A red coral tree that exceeds one kilogram is already called a treasure and cannot be sold by the gram. Of course, even if it is sold by the gram
, it also exceeded four million U.S. dollars, so the stall owner was simply asking for an exorbitant price.
Han Kongque is not very clear about the red coral market in the United States, but he knows the domestic price. Aka grade ox blood red 2-5g single ring face is very expensive. The market retail price is 4,000-8,000 yuan per gram.
, if the quality is excellent, tens of thousands of grams is normal.
It is also Aka grade ox blood red. If it is the original branch, the price is only about a few hundred to a thousand yuan per gram.
But no matter what, even if it is dark red sardine, the market retail price is several hundred per gram.
Therefore, if the red coral sold by the stall owner is really Aka-level oxblood red coral, then the price of 2,600 yuan per gram is really not expensive.
"I have seen a 3-gram ox-blood red Akha ring, which cost more than 20,000 yuan!" The golden demon said in a low voice at this time.
Mu Ling glanced at the golden demon and said: "Does it mean the weight of the bare stone or the whole ring? 3 grams of Akha oxblood red bare stone is rare in the market. If the quality is good, the price per gram can range from several thousand to tens of thousands.
Maybe, if it’s the weight of the entire ring, the price is hard to estimate, but the price of a bare red coral stone is four to five thousand yuan per gram, so this stall owner is just asking for a random price.”
"Golden Demon, you don't want to buy a red coral ring for the wood spirit, do you?" Huangshan laughed at the Golden Demon.
The golden demon raised his head and said, "What's wrong with my plan?"
"It's nothing. You are strong and powerful. I can't afford to offend you. Boss, is this pot of red coral red with ox blood?" This is the most important thing, right? Huangshan thought a little proudly.
"What do you think of four hundred dollars?" Han Kongque said and wanted to leave.
However, after they stopped talking for a while, the stall owner was no longer as arrogant as before. At this time, he also realized that he had made a mistake. These people should be knowledgeable.
"Don't leave, you guys! If you want it, the price can be negotiated." The stall owner looked like they all looked like rich people, so naturally he didn't want to let them go.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Huang Shan's face at this time: "You'd better hide your four million US dollars of red coral! It's easy to be robbed if it's left in public. I've heard that the public security here is bad."
It’s not good, be careful, they are watching!”
Huangshan pointed at some stall owners nearby. When he said this, all the stall owners around burst into laughter.
"Old John, bring it here and let me take a look. I have never seen a four million dollar red coral."
"Haha, don't talk about four million, I've never seen one worth four hundred thousand."
"Old John, hurry up and send it to us for photography. You can already be called a treasure. The whole coral tree is as big as this, it's an absolute treasure!"
"Haha, it's Aka level. The beauty just said that three grams of Aka level red coral rings are rare. If you are Aka level red coral, how many three grams of red coral rings can you get?
"
"This way the price is even higher! A three-gram Aka grade red coral ring can be sold for five thousand US dollars. How much does this pot of red coral need to be made?"
"Yeah! I don't think they should be sold like this. Most people can't afford it. It's better to break it and make it into a coral ring. Each one costs five thousand US dollars. Old John, you are rich."
Listening to the ridicule of the stall owners next to him, Old John's face turned green and white.
Seeing that the stall owner was older, Han Kongque didn't seem to be embarrassing him, so he said: "Uncle John, I'm really sorry. I didn't look carefully just now. I was just asking casually. Please don't mind."
"Uh!" Old John was stunned and said: "It's okay, it's okay, who asked me to talk nonsense? If you look at the color, even if it doesn't reach oxblood red, the quality will definitely reach Aka level, but I don't know
Is this red coral from Hawaii?"
Seeing the sincerity of the stall owner, Han Kongque was stunned. Just now he heard that such a pot of red coral cost four hundred dollars, so he thought it was a man-made fake. Later, he heard that he was asking for an exorbitant price, which directly rose to four million dollars.
I also thought he was a liar, but now it seems that this old John really doesn't look like he is talking nonsense.
"Is it really Aka-level red coral? Such red coral is really rare!" Han Peacock was a little doubtful, so he stopped leaving. At most, it was a waste of time.
Han Peacock didn't take a serious look at this pot of red coral just now, but now if he looks carefully, it really looks like Aka grade red coral.
The value of coral is determined by its quality, mainly based on color, blockiness, texture and fine workmanship, as the basis for evaluation and judgment.
Among them, color is the most important. Colored ones are of higher quality than white ones. The color needs to be beautiful, bright and pure. Red is the best color. Different reds have different prices.
The redder and more positive the color, the better. The deep red coral is called "pepper red", which is the Bay Island in my country. In Japan, it is called aka (often called Aka deep red). The dark red coral is called "candle". "Red", Sardinia coral is a large red coral with few holes. It is mainly found on the Italian island of Sardinia on the Mediterranean coast.
Flesh-red and orange-red are called touch red, which is slightly lighter than Akha red, peach/orange red; those with bright red color are called "Guan Gong face", while those with peach red, pink color and fine texture are called "baby face"
.
Pink is often said to be the face of an angel. Pink, white, and above are all considered high-quality corals. Pure white is the best white coral, and gold coral and black coral are both very valuable.
It is generally believed that Akha red is the highest grade color of coral. Pink and orange are also good, and you can choose according to personal preference.
The value of coral is also affected by local customs. For example, Arabs prefer bright red, while pink is popular in Europe. (~^~)
