Yan Ning: "Okay, I understand, Auntie. I will stay in my room and draw the design for the next few days.
After I finish the design drawings, I'll have to trouble you to take me to the processing factory to make the finished product."
Huo Jieyan nodded. "Well, then, do your best. Don't feel pressured. You're young, and this kind of design competition is held every year."
After breakfast, Yan Ning returned to his room and began to draw the design.
But she didn't study design after all, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find any inspiration.
There are definitely many talented people in the jewelry design competition, and if she wants her work to stand out, she has to work hard.
Yan Ning thought about it and decided to go back to the 21st Century to look online for some modern design styles and find some inspiration.
Back in the 21st Century Bedroom, Yan Ning turned on his cell phone and found three missed calls and five unread messages.
She checked them one by one and found two missed calls from the person in charge of her uncle's diamond processing factory.
The other party couldn't contact Yan Ning, so he sent her a few messages to tell her that the gems had been processed according to her requirements and sent by express.
The person in charge asked her to call him after receiving the express delivery to ask for the password to open the box.
There was also a missed call from the courier.
Yan Ning guessed that the courier was delivering the processed diamonds.
She called the courier and asked him to deliver the package immediately.
Yan Ning was checking design information online while waiting for the courier to arrive.
More than an hour later, the doorbell rang and Yan Ning left the bedroom to pick up the express delivery.
After a while she came into the room carrying a particularly large cardboard box.
She opened the cardboard box and found a white foam box inside, and inside the foam box was a small aluminum alloy password box.
Yan Ning nodded in satisfaction, the safety measures were quite effective.
She picked up her cell phone and dialed the number of the person in charge of the processing plant. After the call was connected, she asked for the password of the safe.
After getting the password, Yan Ning put his phone on the ground with hands-free mode on, and entered the password to open the password box.
After the box was opened, it was filled with white foam balls. Yan Ning reached in and rummaged around, pulling out five black velvet bags.
The length and width of each bag are about twenty centimeters, and each bag is filled with gems.
Yan Ning opened the bags one by one and checked them. After confirming that everything was fine, he said to the phone, "Manager Zhao, everything is fine. Thank you for your help."
A voice came from the microphone: "That's good. Miss Yan, I'll be busy now."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ning poured out the five bags of gems and piled them on the quilt.
The raw stones she took out from the space were about two thousand carats, so many finished products were cut out.
Red diamonds, blue diamonds, D-grade white diamonds, pigeon blood rubies, and cornflower sapphires.
All three types of diamonds are round diamonds. The largest is 50 carats, with five of each, 40 carats, with five of each, 30 carats, with five of each, 20 carats, with ten of each, and 10 carats, with twenty of each.
There are ten diamonds ranging from one to nine carats, and the remaining materials have been cut into small diamonds, totaling more than three thousand pieces.
Rubies and sapphires are cut into round, marquise, princess, oval, pear and teardrop shapes.
The largest is fifty carats and the smallest is one carat.
Yan Ning took a fifty-carat red diamond and a fifty-carat pigeon blood ruby and looked at them in his hands.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She still preferred this kind of bright and rich colored gem.
Yan Ning thought about it and decided to wear a bracelet inlaid with more than ten five-carat red diamonds.
After being happy, she put all the diamonds she poured out into the bag, and then put the bag into the space.
After cleaning up, she continued to sit in front of the computer and check the information.
Not long after, Yan Ning fell into deep thought while looking at the pictures on the computer.
After a while, she sorted out her thoughts, picked up a pen and started designing a pattern on paper.
Yan Ning quickly sketched a nine-colored deer on the paper.
She plans to make a nine-color deer brooch.
The meaning and image of the Nine-Colored Deer are both very suitable for making brooches.
Yan Ning modified the details he was not satisfied with and finally finalized the pattern.
She drew the brooch from the front, top, and side views in a one-to-one scale.
Yan Ning took the design draft and looked at it carefully, and was quite satisfied.
She checked the time and it was already past five in the afternoon. She took the design draft into the space and returned to Qi Ling.
the next day.
Yan Ning took out the design draft and began to study the materials for making the brooch.
The design looks great after coloring, and if the materials can be replicated one-to-one, the finished product will be perfect.
In addition to its white body, the Nine-Colored Deer has eight other colors on its body, in the order of yellow, red, purple, dark blue, light blue, black, green, and orange.
Yan Ning listed the gems corresponding to each color, and after screening and comparing, he selected the most suitable gem.
By the time all the production materials were finalized, another day had passed.
Monday morning.
When Yan Ning went downstairs to have breakfast, he told Sister Huo Yan about going to the processing plant.
After breakfast, Huo Jieyan and Yan Ning got in the car and headed to the jewelry processing factory.
The vehicle drove for half an hour and stopped at the gate of a factory on the edge of the east district.
Yan Ning got out of the car and followed Sister Huo Yan into the processing plant.
She looked around the environment inside. The processing plant was very large, and the factory building in the front was where jade was processed.
Go through a door and enter a building at the back, where gold is processed.
Huo Jieyan found Master Zhang, who had the longest experience and the most sophisticated skills in the factory.
"Master Zhang, please put down your work for a moment. I need your help with something.
My niece will participate in a jewelry design competition in a few days. She has designed a piece of jewelry.
You are the most skilled craftsman in the factory, so please finish the jewelry she designed in the next few days."
Master Zhang put down his tools, smiled and stood up. "No trouble, this is my job. Let me take a look at this lady's design."
Yan Ning handed over the design drawings in the folder.
Master Zhang took it and looked at it, "This is..."
Huo Jieyan also saw it and asked, "Is this a deer?"
Yan Ning chuckled and explained, "This is a nine-colored deer, from a mural painted during the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang..."
"It turns out to be the Deer King in the Dunhuang murals!" Master Zhang interrupted Yan Ning excitedly.
Yan Ning nodded. "Yes, I drew the Deer King. Master Zhang, have you heard of this story?"
Master Zhang's face showed a look of nostalgia, "My ancestors have lived in Dunhuang City, Gansu Province for generations.
When I was a child, I went to the Thousand Buddha Caves with my grandfather and saw the mural of the Deer King inside.
I was still young at that time, and I only knew that there was a deer in the painting, but I can no longer remember the specific impression.
Later, when I was in my teens, my father moved our family to Hong Kong City, and I never went to the cave again."
