The special auction of 'Magnificent Jewelry' has started for an hour. The auction is going very smoothly, the atmosphere is very lively, and many buyers are bidding very enthusiastically!
As the bidding numbers continued one after another, pieces of dazzling jewelry were auctioned off one after another, falling into the hands of many buyers, and the transaction prices were quite good.
As Ye Tian expected, the main buyers of these jewelry are women!
When they see the jewelry they like, they are very refreshing and neat in taking action! Not inferior to those male collectors who bid for antique art.
During this period, Ye Tian and Betty never raised their placards to bid, but just watched quietly. The set of sapphire jewelry that Betty likes has not been unveiled yet, so naturally there is no need to participate in the competition!
Sophie, who was not far behind, held up her cards a few times and took pictures of two fairly good pieces of jewelry. Although the price was not expensive, only tens of thousands of dollars, it was very beautiful and worth the money!
The auction is still going on, and the bidding numbers are constantly rising and falling. In addition to the loud voice of the auctioneer Anthony, you can also hear the voices of buyers bidding from time to time. It is very lively!
At this moment, a Van Cleef & Yacht baby stone necklace is being auctioned on the stage, and there are many competitors!
However, what Betty is paying attention to is not this gem necklace, but the auction catalog in her hand!
She was admiring a set of sapphire jewelry pictures in the auction catalog. She was looking at it very intently, her eyes were shining, and her eyes were full of expectation and desire!
This is the set of jewelry that Betty loves, and she is fascinated!
Seeing her performance, Ye Tian suddenly laughed softly, and then asked in a low voice:
"Dear, will you hold up the sign yourself or shall I hold up the sign later? This set of jewelry will be auctioned soon!"
"I want to raise my own sign, is that okay? One more thing, how much should I bid for this set of sapphire jewelry? I don't know very well, lest I bid too high and lose money!"
Betty replied in a low voice, her expression extremely excited and beaming!
"Of course you can bid with your sign! This is a set of Kashmir sapphire jewelry. If the information is accurate, then this set of jewelry should be considered a very rare jewelry! It is worth a lot of money!
The estimate given by Sotheby's auction house is about US$850,000, which is a bit low. Kashmir sapphire resources have basically been exhausted. Due to its rarity, the price will definitely become more and more expensive!
As long as the price of this set of jewelry is within 2.6 million US dollars, it is worth selling, but since you like it, it is worth any amount, you can just ask for it, no need to consider the price factor! "
Ye Tian explained a few words in a low voice and gave the best answer.
"Wow! I thought $1 million was about the same! I didn't expect you to estimate it so high!"
Betty exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes widened, obviously frightened!
"These sapphires are all cornflower blue and are the highest quality Kashmir sapphires. The market price per carat is approximately US$39,000 to US$135,000. They are very rare and worth the price!"
"Okay! I will raise the sign based on your estimate later. Forget it is more than 2.6 million US dollars. There is also a set of sapphire jewelry behind it. That set is also very beautiful, and it is definitely not that expensive!"
"The sapphires in that set of jewelry are produced in Sri Lanka. They are far inferior to this set. If you want to buy one, let's buy the best one. The price is the second issue!"
Ye Tian turned to the back of the auction catalog, glanced at another set of sapphire jewelry, and then shook his head to reject Betty's proposal.
Since the better one is right in front of you, why bother buying the inferior one?
While the two were discussing in a low voice, Gisele Bundchen suddenly interrupted.
"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!"
"That's right! Giselle, we are going to win this set of sapphire jewelry. It seems that we are going to become bidding rivals"
Ye Tian replied with a smile, full of confidence.
"Okay! I really don't want to compete with you for the same piece of jewelry, but I also like whoever it is, so we can only compete fairly, and the one with the highest price will get it!"
Gisele Bundchen said with a smile, also very confident.
This super beauty is not someone who is short of money! He is a complete money-making machine, and he is the endorser of many top brands, any one of which is worth tens of millions of dollars!
Her husband Tom Brady’s ability to make money is equally strong, and he is the greatest quarterback in NFL history! Not only is he a superstar on the court, he is also the darling of advertisers.
Facing such a powerful opponent, Ye Tian did not dare to take it lightly, lest he stumble and lose to this beauty.
While talking, the auction on the stage has ended.
The Van Cleef & Arpels baby stone necklace was hammered down for US$45,000, and the winning bidder was a middle-aged woman.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the temporary vault opened again, and two Sotheby's staff members came out, one of them holding an exquisite and beautiful jewelry box in his hand.
They quickly walked to the auction stage and started setting up the exhibition immediately! Detailed pictures of this set of jewelry and related information are simultaneously played on the big screen.
When the picture of this set of jewelry appeared in front of everyone, there was an immediate burst of admiration.
"Wow! It is as pure as the sky, blue with purple in it. It is indeed the top sapphire. It is so charming!"
“This is the top quality Kashmir sapphire, of course it is perfect! The price is even more perfect, Sotheby’s estimates it as high as US$850,000! The transaction price must be more than US$1 million!”
Ye Tian did not pay attention to the pictures on the big screen, but kept looking at the actual objects on the display shelf.
After the two staff members finished setting up the exhibition, they immediately turned around and left the auction stage.
At this time, there are no obstacles in front of Ye Tian and he can start the identification.
Only through the clairvoyance appraisal, he can truly determine whether this set of jewelry is worth 2.6 million US dollars, and he will be able to know it when he puts up the bidding later.
Without any hesitation, he immediately activated his clairvoyance ability and began to observe this set of top-grade sapphire jewelry through clairvoyance.
The next second, his eyes traveled directly through the space, completely seeing through this set of sapphire jewelry. All the details inside and outside the jewelry were clearly presented in his eyes, and no one was missed!
There are no bubbles inside, which can rule out the suspicion that it is glass; the crystals are disordered, the color is high in purity, not dazzling, and the light naturally radiates from the inside out, so it can be determined to be a natural gem;
The refractive index of the sapphires set in the six pieces of jewelry is basically the same, which can rule out the possibility of being a sandwich stone; there are a large number of tiny silk-like inclusions inside the gemstones, which is the most basic feature of star sapphires.
These filamentous inclusions are arranged in parallel, which can show a soft and silky velvet texture in the hard and strong metallic texture of sapphire. This is a unique feature of Kashmir sapphire.
Through these, it is absolutely certain that this set of jewelry is indeed Kashmir sapphire jewelry.
These sapphires set in six pieces of jewelry have no cracks, pure color, and perfect cutting. The color is as pure as the sky, rich and slightly purple, and is very similar to the color of the German national flower cornflower!
Without a doubt, this is the finest Kashmir sapphire, also known as cornflower sapphire!
The price of $2.6 million is definitely worth it, even a little on the low side! It's worth fighting for!
After reaching the conclusion of the appraisal, Ye Tian immediately retracted his perspective and looked at Betty beside him.
Betty was staring closely at the jewelry on the display shelf at this time, her eyes were shining, looking extremely focused, and she looked fascinated. She had been completely attracted by this set of top-quality sapphire jewelry!
"Dear, wake up, the auction is about to begin!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, waking up his addicted girlfriend.
"Dear, this set of sapphire jewelry is so beautiful! The real thing is more charming than the photo. I must take a photo of this set of jewelry!"
After some praise, Betty expressed her determination to win.
"Since you like it so much, just raise your sign! No need to consider the price, any amount will do! I just visually appraised it, this is indeed the top cornflower sapphire, which is rare but not sought after!"
Ye Tian gave the most accurate identification conclusion and also gave Betty strong support.
Before he finished speaking, the loud voice of auctioneer Anthony suddenly came.
The auction has begun!
