Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 621 Crown
On the afternoon of the second day after checking into the hotel, the auction officially started. The first auction item was a series of gadgets worth hundreds to thousands of dollars, which naturally included the firearms and some small jewelry brought by Liang En.

Of course, the atmosphere of this kind of auction is not intense at all, and it will stop after two or three price increases, and the price is basically the same as the normal auction price, or even a little lower.

Everyone knew that this was just a traditional warm-up auction, so everyone obviously looked out of shape, except for those bidders who were drinking tea or eating snacks.

But half an hour later, as the auction of these gadgets ended, the auction entered the real auction stage, and everyone suddenly became energetic.

Soon, a small stainless steel trolley was pushed over, and a rusty bronze sword was placed on it. Judging from the style, it should be a bronze sword in the style of ancient Babylon.

"This is a bronze sword. You will find that this sword comes from the ancient Babylonian kingdom. It was a weapon used by nobles cast in the middle of the kingdom. The starting price is 7 euros. Start now!"

After the host finished speaking, some people began to shout the price. After a while, the price was increased to more than 10 euros, and then an old man wearing a monocle took it down.

I have to say that all the official auction items in this auction are high-quality goods, so everyone is very interested in buying them.There are frequent transactions in the millions.

"Isn't there something you're looking for?" After buying a bracelet that once belonged to a European earl, Nelson asked Liang En and Joan of Arc who hadn't picked up the brand once.

"Indeed not, because we hope to find something with historical value." Liang En said with a smile, "Although the things here are very good, but in terms of historical heritage-"

"No way, after all, this auction is for nobles and rich people, so they prefer to buy things that look more beautiful." After hearing what Liang En said, Nelson felt a little helpless.

"However, if I remember correctly, there seem to be several medieval manuscripts for sale. I think that should be more in line with your needs."

"Of course, it's a manuscript from an alchemist. Although there is no name on it, I think it should be of great academic value." Liang En nodded and said.

"Of course, if anyone of our Golden Dawn wants to buy it, I will choose to withdraw. After all, it is best not to cause internal strife and make others laugh."

"Don't worry, if you want this thing, I will definitely give it to you. After all, if this kind of alchemy document is too complicated, even few people in the Golden Dawn can understand it." Nelson grinned helplessly.

"But the problem is that we collected so many artifacts in this area that now each of them has a lot of work to do in this area, and there is simply not enough free time to deal with new content."

"So if you want to buy this thing, we absolutely support it, and we can help you if you don't have enough money. The only requirement is that you can share this knowledge with us."

"Information sharing is definitely no problem, but I don't think financial assistance will be needed. After all, this kind of auction is purely based on the valuation of cultural relics, and such materials that cannot be found are not too expensive. expensive."

The value of cultural relics is completely different in the eyes of different people. For example, things that are valuable to scholars may not be able to sell for a high price in the cultural relics market.

But this is definitely a good thing for Liang En and the others, because they pay more attention to the information on the cultural relics, so they can often get what they want at a relatively low price.

"—The next auction item, the Moonlight Dream Crown." Just as Liang En and Nelson were discussing the documents related to the subsequent auction, the auction host above called out the last item in the first half of the auction. thing.

"Ah, this thing is very famous. It was made by an independent jewelry designer in Belgium. Not long ago, it won the championship of a famous jewelry competition jointly hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands." Nelson said in a low voice.

"If I remember correctly, Chairman Charles of our Golden Dawn should plan to buy these things, because artworks made by the new generation like these have good investment value."

"Of course, if I remember correctly, our president seems to have also bought the set of ancient Egypt-related jewelry you designed a while ago, and said that your things will definitely increase in value in the future."

"Haha——Our president thinks highly of me." After hearing what Nelson said, Liang En felt a little happy, and a smile naturally appeared on his face.

Although it is said that these skills of his come from the cards so that he does not pay special attention to these things for these cards, it is always a happy thing to be praised.

Because this crown comes from a well-known jewelry design master, many gemstones of good size and quality are used on the same side, so the price is not cheap.

At the beginning, the base price of the crown was 60 euros, and then the price rose steadily under the quotations of a group of people, but in the end the chairman of the Golden Dawn won the thing at a price of 185 million euros.

"Look at my newly purchased things." During lunch, Liang En and the others happened to meet President Charles. Because he is a jewelry designer, President Charles directly handed over the Moonlight Dream crown he bought. come over.

"Let me see." After putting on the gloves, Liang En carefully inspected the crown. He had to say that as a work of a master, the production level of this crown is indeed very high, regardless of the level of art or craftsmanship.

In particular, a large number of light-toned and cool-toned gemstones are boldly used on the platinum-based skeleton. All kinds of gemstones complement each other, making the jewelry full of a cool and lonely atmosphere.

Especially now that this piece of jewelry is placed under the spotlights, there is a faint layer of light and mist when illuminated by those lights, and it does look like a hazy beauty under the moonlight.

And this crown is not just a crown, the ingenious design makes this crown multifunctional, so it can be used as a necklace in addition to being a crown.

More importantly, this crown can also be decomposed into many parts and used as earrings, brooches and rings respectively. From this point, it can also be seen that the design is unique.

Of course, apart from the design, the reason why this thing is so expensive is the gemstones inlaid on it. At least these large colored gemstones and diamonds seem to belong to the top gemstones and are of great value.

The valuation of jewelry involves many things, such as the craftsmanship, history or style of production, but the most common and important method is the value of the raw materials of these things.

This is especially true for those jewels inlaid with top-quality gemstones. Compared with jewelry made of pure precious metals, the gemstones of this kind of jewelry are the core of the whole jewelry.Even those jewels can be regarded as the foil and accessories of top gemstones.
