Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 664 Brooch
The new cards are a very good harvest for Liang En, not to mention the cards that increase the upper limit of the blue bar and improve the ability to make jewelry are very practical for him.

Even the last [Odin's Wind (SR)], which seemed a bit strange, was not as useless as he had imagined at the beginning, at least being able to cosmize Zhuge Kongming with Dongfeng would be worth the fare.

With the core area of ​​the cemetery being excavated, the rest of the work was basically finishing work that required time and energy but was not complicated, so Liang En and the others naturally had their own time.

Because he obtained the card related to jewelry making, Liang En started the design work the next day, and the key point was to incorporate the inspiration brought to him by the cultural relics he found during this archaeological process.

The final design is a blue-shaped brooch with a length between 7~8cm and full of Art Nouveau style, which highlights the luxury and innovation brought by this design feature.

According to the plan, the brooch will be made of gold with translucent enamel, diamonds and rubies inlaid on it.Form a colorful and fantastic style.

Compared with similar brooches, the biggest feature of this brooch is the imitation of nature.Gaudí's inspiration strengthened Liang En so that he had an extremely keen observation of the beauty of nature, so he is also best at designing this kind of jewelry design.

Especially after seeing the cultural relics unearthed in the Sutton Hoo cemetery this time, he added a lot of mosaic inlays and enamel to this gold brooch to make the whole look more gorgeous.

After spending two days completing the design, Liang En and Joan of Arc went to a branch of the Duris family jewelry store in London to prepare for new jewelry design and manufacturing.

Of course, this is not just to see how the new cards are, but more importantly, to move out some Anglo-Saxon-style jewels that have been integrated into the Sutton Hoo cemetery that I discovered before as soon as possible.

This is mainly due to the fact that from a purely commercial point of view, the news that the Sutton Hoo cemetery has been unearthed has become a hot topic in the UK and even the whole of Europe, so it is naturally a good choice to catch the hot spots at this time.

More importantly, Liang En naturally has a stronger appeal as a discoverer compared to the other hot guys who appeared, but the prerequisite is that the things he makes must be above the average.

It is not a complicated matter for Liang En to make jewelry above the average line, but for him, the reason why he rushed here to start work in such a hurry this time is definitely not to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, but I feel like I can break through.

Although Liang En felt that his main job was to excavate historical relics and conduct historical research, he felt that since he already had the ability to create top-level works of art, it would be very meaningful to make good use of this ability.

"Mr. Liang, designing jewelry is different from making jewelry." The person in charge here warmly received Liang En and the others, but after hearing Liang En's request, the female person in charge named Abigail had a face Showed embarrassment.

Because Liang En had been known as a jewelry designer before, it was unbelievable for the person in charge to hear that he proposed to make jewelry by himself.

It's not that they are worried about wasting raw materials. After all, they also know that Liang En is not the kind of wasteful person, and won't use that kind of extremely precious raw materials, and they can afford to consume ordinary gold and gemstones.

The reason why she chose to stop Liang En was that there was a certain degree of danger in the jewelry making process, so it was a certain degree of danger for those who had not been in contact with this aspect.

"Don't worry, I still have some experience in jewelry making." Liang En also saw the worry of the person in charge and said with a smile. "You can find a professional master to take a look. If it doesn't work, I will naturally stop."

"If that's the case, I think it's okay." Miss Abigail nodded. It's reasonable for at least one jewelry designer to be able to make jewelry, but she still asked a jewelry designer to follow Liang En to avoid problems. .

In fact, Liang En had demonstrated his hands-on ability in India before, but because he was in India at the time, the people here didn't know his hands-on ability in this area.

Soon, Liang En came to the workbench and unfolded his design drawing, and then carved a wax model according to the drawing. For jewelry, the lost wax casting method is obviously the most suitable method.

As Liang En kept waving the carving knife in his hand, pieces of residue fell off from the main body of the wax.After more than half an hour, a beautiful orchid gradually took shape.

"Beautiful, this is really beautiful." The jewelry maker who was assigned to help Liang En before watched Liang En carve the last knife and sighed softly.

Because everyone is in the same industry, Liang En can tell the level of the jewelry maker as soon as he gets started. Obviously, Liang En is not a novice guessed by the company at all.

At least according to this escort, Liang En, the designer in the company, had a higher level of jewelry making than himself, a professional craftsman.

It's just that Liang En was completely immersed in his work at this time, because as he worked bit by bit, the memories in his mind gradually began to merge, and he became more and more handy.

It may be because his body has been repeatedly strengthened, so he mastered this skill so quickly that the professional who was watching by the side didn't see Liang En's lack of proficiency before.

After finishing the wax model carving, Liang En quickly made the mold, and then used the lost wax method to cast the most basic template of this gold brooch, and then started firing the enamel.

This is not a simple matter, because it needs to process the gold wire into a thin sheet, then bend it into the desired pattern line with a tool, fix it to the jewelry surface, and then fill it with glaze.

"Why don't you use the glaze that our company has already prepared, and you still have to grind and mix it by hand?" On the third day, watching Liang En grind the glaze powder with a grinding bowl made of agate, the accompanying jewelry maker I couldn't bear the doubts in my heart and asked.

"Because the effect I want to make has some special requirements on all aspects of the glaze, and the raw materials prepared by our company do not meet my requirements." Liang En said with a smile.

At this time, he also realized how meaningful the alchemy knowledge he had acquired through card strengthening was, because this technology could help him master the knowledge about how to mix glazes.

This is a very precious knowledge, because many links in the firing of enamel colors are purely a kind of experience work, and there is no good way other than passing on from master to apprentice.

What Liang En now masters is this kind of knowledge that others may need to master in a lifetime, so in order to achieve the effect of the final product, he did not hesitate to mix the glaze according to this knowledge.

"Okay, I think that's enough." Liang En nodded and said after looking at the prepared things for the last time. "The next step is to fire the enamel. I hope everything goes well."
