As usual, she finished cleaning up the store. At this time, Bai Wei would sometimes make some accessories, and sometimes if Qin Lanlan came over, the two would chat.
When the second bracelet was being woven, slow footsteps were heard outside, and then the wind chimes at the door rang.
It wasn't particularly cold yet, so most people on the street wore thin coats, but the woman who came in was wearing a fur coat that looked very expensive.
She had a watch on her wrist and rings of different styles on three of her ten fingers.
There was a diamond necklace on her neck and hairpins in her hair. At this moment, the word "expensive" was written all over the woman.
It seemed that this was the first time for the lady to visit this store. She looked at the jewelry in the store, looking at this and that with curiosity.
Bai Wei put down the work in her hands, stood up silently and walked to the counter.
After looking around for a while, the lady walked to Bai Wei and asked, "Do you make all the things in your shop yourself?"
Nowadays, it is relatively easy to recognize jewelry. Whether it is handmade or made by a machine, it seems that you can tell at a glance.
Bai Wei smiled faintly and replied, "Yes, all the jewelry in this store is made by me."
Since you made it yourself, that's fine.
The lady asked again: "Do you accept private orders here?"
Private customization means making a set of jewelry according to the customer's preferences, but the result must also satisfy the customer.
Bai Wei still had this confidence. She smiled and asked, "What occasion are you attending?"
"For the dance, I want a set of accessories to match my dress. I want a complete set of accessories. But you only have one month, and the dance is in a month."
"Yes, our store can accept custom jewelry."
Bai Wei was a little excited. This was the first customer who came to her for a custom jewelry order since the store opened.
Although making custom jewelry is a bit troublesome, it needs to match the clothing design, color matching, and various details need to be discussed with the customer.
It would be fine if the customer was an easy-going person, and everyone could discuss the matter together. But if the customer was a difficult one, or someone who was particularly picky, and would change a detail eight or ten times, and finally go with the first version of the design, Bai Wei would rather not do business with such a person.
In her previous life, many of the jewelry in her store were not available in other stores, and many people asked her to do private customization. However, since it took too long to do it once, Bai Wei didn't do it often.
However, if it is a private customization, it is a big order.
Bai Wei knew at a glance that this noble lady was not short of money, so it was normal for her to want custom-made jewelry. Looking at the things she was wearing, they were not cheap either.
Bai Wei was always more patient with big customers, so she asked, "Can you explain it in detail?"
"I've been invited to a masked ball in a month, but I've already worn most of my jewelry, and I want a new set to go with this beautiful dress."
The lady fanned herself with the small fan in her hand and said slowly, "Since this is custom jewelry made for me, this design is mine and you are not allowed to sell it in your store anymore."
This is natural. Bai Wei would understand this simple rule.
Nodding, Bai Wei said, "Of course, I can. However, since it is to match your clothes, I have to see the clothes you wear to the ball first before I can decide what kind of jewelry to make."
"Can."
The lady agreed, then took out a business card from her small bag and said, "Come to this place at three o'clock in the afternoon and I will show you my clothes."
Business cards were still rare in this era, and those who could get one were either rich or noble.
Bai Wei took it and looked at it. There were only a few big words on it.
146 Murphy Mansion.
The business card is simple and elegant, without any unnecessary things on it, and it feels very textured when touched.
After the lady gave out her business card, she walked out of the store slowly.
He walked neither fast nor slow, as if he was taking a stroll, and yet he walked in a very beautiful way.
In fact, for reservations like this, you usually have to give a deposit first. No matter how much it is, it is a deposit.
But now I haven’t seen anything real, only a business card. It’s hard to say whether I can find this lady in the afternoon.
"Murphy Mansion... Such a familiar place..."
Bai Wei looked for a long time and remembered where the Murphy Mansion was.
That is a wealthy area, and the people who live in this mansion are not ordinary people. Judging from the lady's attire and her business card, she should be a wealthy person living in Murphy Mansion.
So she shouldn't be a liar.
Since we said we would arrive at 3pm, let’s set off at 2:30pm.
Bai Wei had just put away the business card when Qin Lanlan came over while eating melon seeds.
She obviously also saw the noble lady in gold and silver, and said excitedly: "Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, that woman was wearing fur just now, right? She looked like a rich person. She must have bought a lot of things from you, right?"
Bai Wei smiled helplessly.
It was early in the morning and there were few customers in any store. The lady was dressed in jewels and gems. When she stood here, she looked like a different kind of person from them. No wonder Qin Lanlan saw her.
"Sister Lan, they just looked around and didn't buy anything."
Bai Wei explained, but Qin Lanlan looked unconvinced.
The lady who just left had wealth written all over her from head to toe. The things in Bai Wei's shop are cheap and beautiful. Who would like jewelry to leave empty-handed?
"The jewelry and accessories in your store are all very beautiful. Which woman would not buy two pieces when she comes in?"
Qin Lanlan stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Bai Wei's hand and said, "We are all family, so don't hide it from me. That woman must have bought a lot of things, right?"
Having a gossipy friend was a good match for normal chatting, but now, Bai Wei took out the business card helplessly.
She said truthfully, "She does look quite rich, but she doesn't like the jewelry in my store. She asked me to go to her house this afternoon and help her design a set of jewelry to match the dress she will wear to the ball next month."
"This kind of custom jewelry is usually only made once, just for the employer. After her order is completed, all the jewelry made for her cannot be made and sold again."
Bai Wei explained it, but she didn't know whether Qin Lanlan understood it.
Qin Lanlan sells clothes and had never heard of anything like private customization or prohibition of resale before. However, that did not stop her from knowing that the lady was a big customer.
Otherwise, why would people come to your store to look at clothes and have jewelry specially designed to match the clothes?
