Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 622 Questions
The crown of the moonlight dream is a piece of jewelry made around gemstones. This is completely different from Liang En's approach of focusing on jewelry as a whole and not having special needs for gemstones.

So after seeing this piece of work that was also made by a master but with a completely different style from his own, Liang En subconsciously checked it carefully out of a certain professional habit.

"It's not normal, very abnormal." But after staring at these gems for a few minutes, Liang En became more and more strange, and finally raised his head and asked. "Why aren't these diamonds numbered?"

Liang En asked this because every legal diamond has a unique GIA number on the waistline, which is exactly the same as the number on the diamond certificate.

This is a very important part of the action to avoid illegal diamond trading, and of course, it is also one of the special ways for several major diamond groups to monopolize the diamond industry.

But the problem is that 1/3 of the diamonds inlaid on the so-called Moonlight Dream crown do not have this number, and more importantly, all the diamonds without numbers are those large diamonds, so the current situation is obviously abnormal.

If it is a small diamond, it is normal to have no number, but the pile of unnumbered diamonds now even includes a large diamond with a very high clarity that is almost close to 25 carats, so there should be no number in any case.

Although the other diamonds are not big, they are at least five or six carats. In this case, it is obviously abnormal that a diamond with a number cannot be found, especially the cut of several diamonds. Liang En always feels that something is wrong. wrong.

"Because these are some relatively old diamonds." After listening to Liang En talk about the problem of diamond cutting, Chairman Charles quickly opened the manual and glanced at the introduction, and said, "And before GIA issued the regulations, the final inspection was carried out. cutting."

"This explanation is indeed more reasonable, Mr. President, but the problem now is that these gems don't look normal." Liang En frowned as he looked at the gems on the crown seriously.

At first glance, this tiara is indeed a very good work of art, but if you look closely, you will find that the cutting method of the gemstones does not match the style of the tiara 100%.

This is not surprising for ordinary jewelry, because many things cannot be perfect due to cost constraints. You cannot ask industrialized mass-produced diamond rings that cost no more than $1500 to achieve perfect harmony.

But this crown is different. It is the top jewelry made by a true jewelry design master. In this case, theoretically, there can be no flaws.

"What do you mean this gemstone is abnormal?" As the president of the Golden Dawn, Mr. Charles also broke through the storm, so he reacted quickly after Liang En mentioned it.

"That's right. For these top jewels, the gemstones on them should correspond to the jewels themselves." Liang En pointed to the diamond inlaid in the center of the crown.

"But there are some tiny flaws on this crown. For example, the cutting of the largest diamond is not perfect, so that the fire of the diamond does not reach a perfect level."

"Could it be because of this antique diamond?" Mr. Charles asked after thinking about it. "You know even in the mid-20th century people didn't have as much knowledge as they do today, so it's not uncommon for diamond cuts to be less than perfect."

"Mr. President, what you said is indeed a possibility, but this diamond is not like that." Liang En pointed to the shining diamond on the crown and said.

"According to my observation, the cutter of this diamond is a true master, and it is absolutely impossible for such a master to make such a low-level mistake."

"Even in the past, when people had not mastered this knowledge, those masters were able to solve this problem with their own experience, and there would be no such loophole."

To be honest, it is acceptable even if the secondary diamonds on the crown have such problems. After all, human beings are flesh and blood, not machines, and it is impossible to maintain the best condition all the time.

But it is obviously abnormal for the diamond, which is the core of the whole jewelry, to have such a low-level problem. Even if the problem is very small, it should not be possible for only people with the same level of jewelry making to come out.

What Liang En didn't mention is that although these secondary diamonds seem to be cut in a somewhat ancient way and appear less bright, they are actually imitations of those past cuts by modern people.

However, this kind of imitation is very fine. The opponent should have deliberately used ancient tools in order to avoid being discovered, but the problem is that although the techniques used by the opponent try to imitate the past techniques as much as possible, they still reveal modern techniques from time to time.

It's a pity that this kind of flaw is too inconspicuous, especially not all professionals understand the diamond cutting techniques in the past, so even the professionals who presided over the competitions and auctions did not see this before.

It's just that Liang En's inheritance came from an old-school jewelry master, so after finding out that the situation was wrong, through careful observation, he discovered the flaws that the other party showed when cutting diamonds.

However, considering that this defect requires professional skills to be able to see it, and in addition to the problems that have been found out about the main stone of the crown, it goes without saying that this thing will not affect anything for the time being.

"If it's like what you said, then the current situation is indeed suspicious." After hearing what Liang En said, President Charles tapped lightly with the index finger of his right hand and said. "But if there is only this evidence alone, I think—"

"Actually, there is another piece of evidence—" After hearing his president's question, Liang En could only say what he found on other diamonds.

"If this is the case, I think we can basically confirm that there is indeed something wrong with this crown." After Liang En finished all his discoveries, President Charles said with a soft sigh, and then stood up from his seat.

"I think you may need to follow me to find the person in charge of the auction, because the current situation has clearly shown that this jewelry has, so we need to facilitate communication with the auction."

After speaking, President Charles put the crown back into the box, and then took the lead towards the auction at the side.The organizer prepared the room and walked over.

"Hi, Mr. Charles, what can I do?" Seeing Liang En and the others who opened the door and came in, a middle-aged man quickly stood up from behind the table and asked.

"There are indeed some things. I want to talk to you about this crown." Mr. Charles said, put the box on the table and opened the lid. "There's something wrong with this diadem, like—"

In the next ten minutes, Liang En and Mr. Charles thoroughly explained what they had just discovered on the crown, and then stared at the person in charge.

At the same time, a young man walked aside with the crown, and then called two appraisers to start the appraisal. Soon, the two appraisers said that what Liang En and the others said was true.

"—So we need an explanation. After explaining all the circumstances, Mr. Charles looked at the other party seriously and said, "At least your auction shouldn't hide these circumstances. "
