Wearing gloves, An Ran smiled and began to introduce:
"This sapphire necklace is a posthumous work by the top French craftsman Mohan, named 'Elegant Butterfly'. The entire jewelry set uses an extremely bold cutting method. At the center of the necklace is an 8.7-carat sapphire, surrounded by teardrop diamonds. The necklace can be separated into two bracelets, which are very elegant and refreshing."
The polished and cut sapphire refracted an extremely dazzling light, and even Zhang Cang couldn't help but glance at it and exclaim:
"This diamond is really beautiful. No wonder so many girls want it. Who wouldn't be envious if they wore such a big diamond?"
Having witnessed the people of the Ghost Kingdom "bathing" diamonds, Xu Milu wasn't particularly moved. Instead, she took a closer look at the remaining two sets of jewelry.
The second box contained a set of enamel ruby jewelry: a pair of ruby earrings, a pair of ruby bracelets, and a brooch shaped like a dragonfly.
The third piece of jewelry is clearly much more valuable. Compared to the elaborate designs of the first two sets, this set of diamonds has a much simpler design, yet it is captivating:
At the very center of the velvet piece is a teardrop-shaped diamond set in a base, surrounded by smaller diamonds. Its massive size makes the entire piece of jewelry look like a shining star.
The female secretary clutched her chest again.
Why did I have to let her see jewelry that I couldn't afford?
“This piece of jewelry is called ‘Angel’s Tears’. It was designed based on the design sketches of the founder of Kaflan. The central stone weighs an astonishing sixteen carats. Diamonds of this grade do not have a fixed price and usually only appear at auctions. Last year, Sotheby’s auctioned a similar diamond, but that one cannot compare to ‘Angel’s Tears’ in terms of purity and clarity.”
An Ran observed Xu Mi Lu's expression and found that the other party still did not show much change in expression, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Diamonds are not necessarily more valuable just because they have a larger carat weight. You also need to judge the purity and clarity of the diamond. Diamonds with a purity of more than ten carats are basically priceless.
Last year, at an auction in the UK, a 16-carat pink diamond sold for a record-breaking $181 million. These three sets of jewelry were the highest quality, top-tier jewelry she could access within her authority, but it seemed that the other party didn't like any of them.
No wonder Ren Honghe is known as the "National Domineering CEO"!
Such high standards?
Why didn't the other person even show a flicker of emotion in their eyes?
This made An Ran wonder if she was selling cabbages instead of diamonds.
She exchanged a glance with Dahl Griezmann without making a sound, and the two immediately decided on a sales strategy.
Anran tentatively asked:
"Ms. Ren, I am very sorry for the unpleasant experience. I will have someone bring a replacement batch right away."
She didn't think for a second that the other party lacked the desire to buy because of the price—after all, the other party was Ren Honghe! Buying jewelry would be like a game to her for her.
As he spoke, Dahl Griezmann handed over an elegant product brochure, and continued Anran's words:
“Ms. Ren, your temperament is truly unique. I believe that good jewelry should be… or as you would say in Chinese terms, ‘the icing on the cake.’ If I may ask, our brand, Kafulan, has a long history and our designers have extensive experience in jewelry design. If you have a favorite style, you can also tell us. For high-quality clients like you, we accept private customization.”
Xu Milu had been waiting for this very sentence, and she slowly raised her eyebrows:
"If I have rough diamonds, can I commission you to cut and design them?"
An Ran breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Ren, but the Kavalan Group owns its own diamond mines in Africa, which ensures the highest possible quality for our diamonds. Therefore, in principle, we do not accept..."
Her words suddenly caught in her throat, her face, which had been full of professional smiles, became as stiff as a stone, and her eyes widened so much that her eyebrows almost reached the top of her head.
The reason was simple: Xu Milu, who was sitting on the sofa, had somehow acquired a round "stone" the size of a pomegranate in her hand.
The surface of the uncut "stone" is covered with a layer of blurry color like frosted glass, but this cannot cover up the bright and passionate red color inside the stone.
Having worked in the jewelry industry for so many years, An Ran wasn't incapable of distinguishing between rubies and rough red diamonds. Although she hadn't confirmed their authenticity, she already had a strong premonition:
That was an uncut red diamond!
Red diamond!
It's a red diamond!
"My God, this is simply impossible!"
Dahl screamed uncontrollably, his slightly yellow face flushing crimson with excitement, making him look exactly like a reddish ice cream cone.
"This is impossible! Oh my god! I can't believe this is really happening right before my eyes! This is impossible! The world's largest red diamond, the Musayev Red Diamond, was only 13.9 carats before it was cut!! I'm going crazy! God!!"
Diamonds are rare, and red diamonds are extremely rare among diamonds. A one-carat natural red diamond can sell for tens of millions of RMB, making it the ultimate luxury.
In 1960, a Brazilian farmer discovered a 13.9-carat red diamond in the Abaetzinho River in the Alto region. This largest natural red diamond in the world still does not have an accurate price.
