Chapter 246 $175 million

The fat man who talked nonsense was naturally picked up by Yang Jing and Lin Dan, and several bodyguards watched the fun with their arms crossed.

After a fuss, the fat man said, Lao Yang, how much are these eight gems worth?

Yang Jing looked at Lin Dan. When Lin Dan mentioned purple diamonds and pink diamonds just now, he had shown his understanding of jewelry. It seems that this kid is not only familiar with the mining industry, but also familiar with luxury goods.

Sensing Yang Jing's gaze, Lin Dan cleared his throat and said, Let's not talk about this purple diamond, it's guaranteed at 50 million dollars. Well, look at this pink diamond, my God, Brother Yang, I really love it. I envy you, why do you scour for some top-quality things.

As Lin Dan said, he picked up a rough colorless diamond and said, Look at this colorless diamond. This color definitely reaches the top D grade! As for the clarity, I guess it is not the top FL grade. It must be at least IF rank!

Diamonds come in a variety of natural colors, ranging from the precious colorless (white when cut) to the rare light blue, pink to yellowish. The more bright and colorless it is, the more white light can penetrate, and the more colorful it is after refraction and dispersion. Diamond glory grading is determined by technicians repeatedly comparing the diamond to be graded with the standard glory master stone in the grading state of the professional executive room. The whitest diamond is rated as D grade, that is, starting from the first letter of Diamond, it is divided into 11 grades, in order: D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N .

As for clarity, it is another important criterion for judging the preciousness of diamonds. The FL grade mentioned by Lin Dan just now, that is, the flawless grade, refers to the fact that there is no flaw inside or outside when viewed by professionals under 10 times magnification. This is the rarest and most precious of all clarity grades.

Of course, Lin Dan only judged the grade of this rough diamond by visual inspection. What grade is it actually requires professional technicians to go through extremely complicated identification to give the most accurate answer.

However, Yang Jing knew the color grades of these two colorless diamonds. The holy ring had already given the identification answer of colorless, that is to say, these two rough diamonds were the most top-quality D-grade colorless diamonds.

Lin Dan picked up another rough colorless diamond, looked at it, and said, There is no difference between this rough diamond and that one. Except for the difference in size, this rough diamond is also a top-quality colorless diamond. Well, the two Almost all the rough stones are more than 50 carats. If you find a master to cut, this small one can probably cut a 20-carat diamond, and this large one can cut a 24-carat to 25-carat diamond. We all know that, not to mention 20 carats, even diamonds over 10 carats are relatively rare. These two diamonds are so large, and their purity and clarity are so good, so these two diamonds alone, I guess At least forty million dollars!

Lin Dan put down the two colorless diamonds, picked up the pink diamond again, shook his head with a wry smile and said, This pink diamond is also amazing, both in terms of color and clarity, it is the best! If this pink diamond After cutting, it is estimated that at least one pink diamond of about 15 carats can be produced. The Graff pink diamond I just mentioned that was auctioned at the Sotheby’s auction, although the weight reached an astonishing 25 carats, but the The clarity of the diamond is only VVS2, which is a diamond with very few flaws. Although our pink diamond is not as big as the Graff pink diamond, I think our pink diamond has better clarity and more vivid color. Therefore, I reckon that this pink diamond should be no worse than the Graff pink diamond if it is auctioned! In other words, the conservative estimate of this pink diamond should be 45 million US dollars!

The fat man was silently calculating in his heart while listening, and when Lin Dan finished speaking, the fat man covered his forehead and said, Xiao Linzi, according to your estimate, these four diamonds alone are about 125 million? What I'm talking about is Dollar!

Lin Dan nodded and said: This is my estimate! The main reason for the high price is that these four little guys are too big, and the color and clarity are too good! Such a rough diamond, casually It is no wonder that the value of these four diamonds is so high. Of course, the real value of these four diamonds is still up to professionals. But I think the value of these four diamonds is The real value should be higher than what I said!

After a pause, Lin Dan said with certainty: Let's not talk about anything else, just the purple diamond. If Brother Yang is willing to take it to the auction, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price! A ten-carat purple diamond , This has never happened before, and it will definitely drive the vast majority of rich people in this world crazy!

Yang Jing said with a smile: I am reluctant to put such a precious purple diamond up for auction! Anyway, I am not short of money now, and I plan to keep these two colored diamonds for my wife to make jewelry!

The fat man saw Ge Ge, and immediately gave Yang Jing a thumbs up when he heard the words.

Of course the fat man also knew Yang Jing's current net worth. Although these few diamonds were precious, Yang Jing would not put them up for auction. This guy has good things and keeps them for his family and wife. He is not short of money, and he does not need to obtain money by auctioning these things.

Lin Dan picked up another rough sapphire and said, Tsk tsk, this sapphire is amazing! It is definitely the best Sri Lankan starlight sapphire! Well, there are two rubies, which are definitely the best pigeon blood red ruby, but I don't know what it is. The ones made in Myanmar are still made in Sri Lanka. Look at the color and clarity, they are absolutely top-notch! Especially with such a big body, it’s amazing!

The fat man asked: Then you also estimate the value of these four red and sapphires.

Lin Dan shook his head and said, I won't estimate the value of red sapphires. My understanding of red sapphires is not as thorough as that of diamonds.

Yang Jing smiled and said, Xiao Linzi, you missed these two sapphires.

Huh? Isn't this the top Sri Lankan star sapphire?

Yang Jing shook his head and said, If I'm not mistaken, these two sapphires are better than the Sri Lankan starlight sapphires!

Lin Dan was taken aback when he heard it, and then seemed to remember something, and asked excitedly: Brother Yang, could it be that these two sapphires are the legendary Kashmir sapphires?

Yang Jing nodded and said, That's right, these two rough sapphires are the legendary Kashmir sapphires. Look at the color of these two sapphires. It's a rich bright blue with purple in it, and it's as pure as the sky on the plateau. , such a pure color is unmatched by sapphires produced in other places, and only the legendary Kashmir sapphire can have such a pure blue color!

Although the fat man is not very proficient in gemstones, he has heard of the name of Kashmir sapphire. Old Yang, if these two sapphires are really Kashmir sapphires, wouldn't we have given them away?

Yang Jing said with a smile: It's not very hairy, but it's pretty good. From 1979 to 2008, a total of 150 high-quality sapphires appeared in the world. Among the major auction venues, 121 of them were identified as Kashmir sapphires. The auction price of Kashmir sapphires per carat is about 39,000 to 135,000 US dollars, which is already higher than most colorless diamonds. But it’s still not as good as the top-quality colorless and colored diamonds.”

After a pause, Yang Jing continued: However, since the number of Kashmir sapphires is too scarce, especially the two pieces like ours, which are so big, if they are auctioned, the price will not be much lower.

Lin Dan also said: Yes, red sapphire is different from diamond. In addition to color and clarity, diamond cut is also a very important criterion, but the cut of red sapphire is not so important. For red sapphire Speaking of which, the color is the first, followed by the clarity, as for the cut, hehe.”

In order to make it easier for Chris and the others to understand, what Yang Jing and the others said was in English, so when Chris heard these words, he asked: Boss, I only knew that the sapphires in Sri Lanka were the best. Yes, but to hear you say that, isn’t the Kashmir sapphire much stronger than the Sri Lankan sapphire?”

From the current situation, it is indeed the case. Yang Jing nodded, There are also top-quality Sri Lankan sapphires, but even the top-quality Sri Lankan sapphires are far behind Kashmir sapphires in value. Let me give you a list. For example, at Christie's Geneva auction in 2014, a 27.54-carat top-quality Sri Lankan sapphire sold for $600,000, but a year later at Christie's Hong Kong auction, a sapphire of almost the same weight The Kashmir sapphire fetched $6.7 million.

When Chris heard this, he shook his head in surprise, Such a big difference?

Well, the gap is that big. Myanmar also produces sapphires. At Sotheby's Geneva auction in November 2013, an unmounted Burmese sapphire weighing 114.74 carats was sold for 7.2 million US dollars. In 2015, May At Christie’s Geneva auction in May, a loose Kashmir sapphire weighing only 35 carats was sold for $7.35 million. One is a Burmese sapphire larger than an egg, and the other is about the size of a quail egg. Kashmir sapphires, but the price is about the same, and you can see the gap between the two.”

The fat man asked, Old Yang, after all, you didn't tell the price of these four red and sapphires.

Yang Jing shook his head and said: These four red and sapphires are the best of the best, and they are so big that even if each one is cut with the simplest bread mountain cut, the finished product can almost exceed 40 carats. Larger ones can even exceed 50 carats! Such a large top-quality red sapphire, especially such a large Kashmir sapphire, is too rare. Even if it is up for auction, I don’t know how much it can be sold. There is no reference. But I can be sure that the price of these four red sapphires is definitely not lower than that purple diamond!

The fat man muttered to himself: Adding these four red and sapphires, the value of these eight gems alone is almost 175 million U.S. dollars?
