Chapter 373 The only gift(1/2)

 "I don't need a gift. If you come back, it's my gift."

"The sweetness of the small mouth is extremely high. I highly agree with this." On Zhao Chuanxin's palm, a piece of peridot the size of a baby's fist suddenly appeared: "I cut this and gave it to you."

It was the peridot given to him by Kirch, the son of the volcano.

Not to mention Wilhelmina, even the jeweler couldn't help but look up.

He held up his reading glasses and said, "Buy cake, is this peridot?"

He has never seen such a big peridot.

Wilhelmina was surprised: "Oh my God, it's so big!"

Peridot may not be as precious as diamonds and rubies, but for such a large size, it is more precious than the former.

Rare things are valuable.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on a chair, took out a pen and paper, and drew a design drawing.

Wilhelmina remembered that Zhao Chuanxin told her that the secret to maintaining love is freshness.

Unexpectedly, on the occasion of her birthday, Zhao Chuanxin did another fancy thing.

He also knows how to make jewelry?

At this time, craftsmen no longer face discrimination internationally.

Unlike in the past, merchants, hawkers, day laborers, craftsmen, dervishes and pilgrims represented mobile groups. The middle and upper classes regarded them as blind wanderers who were only responsible for delivering various orders issued by noble lords.

Around the same time, the French Revolution and the British Industrial Revolution were the explosive points that transformed the world into what it is today. By 1848, all the land that Western officials and businessmen thought they could use was occupied, and there was no obstacle left.

Since then, the social structure of all levels has changed. Nowadays, craftsmen are generally middle-class people who are content with a small amount of money.

At first the jeweler didn't take it seriously. After all, he had been in this business for many years and had honed his skills all his life.

But for the sake of the huge peridot, I paid more attention to Zhao Chuanxin and looked closely at his drawings.

Seeing that several inlay methods that he had never seen appeared on the drawing at the same time, the jeweler was stunned. He reminded: "Young man, your idea is good and very creative, but such a difficulty requires extremely skilled craftsmanship."

."

It has the meaning of "Can you do it? If not, I will do it".

Wilhelmina saw that Zhao Chuanxin just drew a brooch in the shape of a palm leaf. Although it was gorgeous, she didn't realize how complicated it was.

But when a jeweler talks about it, he realizes that it seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult.

Zhao Chuanxin said "Huh": "Obviously, I am the kind of unparalleled genius, there is nothing that can trouble me."

When the jeweler heard this, he was very unhappy.

Handicraft work, sweat is more important than talent, why are you bragging?

He remained silent and prepared to watch Zhao Chuanxin's joke.

After drawing the blueprint, Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of platinum.

He used an elf carving knife to cut out a layer, without making any marks on it, and directly carved it.

Watching the platinum shards flying, the jeweler's eyes widened.

This is the first time in my life, and probably the last time, to see someone handling precious metals like this.

The general shape is very simple. Although platinum is hard, it is still a younger brother in front of the elf carving knife. Three times, five times and two times, Zhao Chuanxin can carve it into shape.

What is difficult is the details of the inlay grooves. There are retro column inlays, tension inlays that can only be set with hard stones, tooth-pin inlays, group inlays, micro inlays...

The changes in the inlay grooves are arranged according to the size of the gemstones to be embellished on the palm leaves.

It seems simple, but Zhao Chuanxin is actually showing off his skills.

Apart from this, there is nothing else to offer.

In the past, if he made carcasses, he would use the lost wax method.

With the elf carving knife and a lot of precious metals, there is no need to work so hard.

The jeweler asked: "What kind of knife is this? Am I blind? I think..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "Yes, your eyes are dazzled."

"Um..."

The front was fine, but after all, the inlay slot was huge, and the further back it became, the harder it became, and Zhao Chuanxin began to sweat on his forehead.

Wilhelmina took out her silk handkerchief, wiped it carefully for him, and then kissed him on the forehead.

Zhao Chuanxin was focused on nothing else, as if he didn't realize it.

Observed from this angle, Wilhelmina found a new point of view.

Seriously man...

Zhao Chuanxin felt that the time was a little long, so he took out his pocket watch and placed it next to him so that he could observe the passage of time.

How strong is the Elf Carving Knife?

He doesn't have to shake his wrist, and relies on his consciousness to control the blade. If it weren't for his blindness, he would be able to move the blade almost every second.

When he got to the micro-inlay, Zhao Chuanxin wiped away his tears and put on his devil crystal glasses.

There is no microscope, but there is equipment.

It took one hour to complete, but Zhao Chuanxin felt it was too long and was very dissatisfied.

But the jeweler felt that it was incredibly fast. This was no longer a hand, this was a machine.

Zhao Chuanxian started cutting the peridot, which was also very time-consuming.

But in the eyes of the jeweler, that knife is simply a peerless weapon.

He has never seen a gemstone faceted with just a knife without polishing and cutting - heart-shaped cut, olive cut, pear-shaped cut, triangle, semi-olive, trapezoid, cabochon, mixed and even

In the alien...

Zhao Chuanxin is different from orthodox jewelers in that he does not intend to use leftover materials at all, so he does not consider the cost when cutting.

Seeing that the leftover materials that could have been used with more brainpower were abandoned by Zhao Chuanxin like old shoes, the jeweler couldn't help but pointed out: "Young man, this is too wasteful, this will ruin the family fortune.

I am very worried about your future..."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't even raise his head: "My family has tens of millions of dollars and several estates. What are you worried about?"

"..."

Bragging, keep bragging...

Zhao Chuanxin added: "Maybe, my wife still has a country as a dowry. I don't even want to know about it. I will spend it all. Do you know?"

Why don’t you go to heaven?

"Hey, young man, do you think I will believe it?"

"Believe it or not, you won't let me live in a manor of more than 400 acres, eat a meal worth a thousand dollars, and sleep with the most noble and beautiful woman in the world, okay?"

"You are too arrogant. First of all, wealth does not allow you to have everything."

"Yes, wealth has given me such happiness as a mansion and a beautiful wife, but it has also made me lose all my worries."

"You..."

Wilhelmina smiled and bent over.

This man is really... ranging from high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns, he has never lost a fight.

While talking, Zhao Chuanxin was busy with his hands, placing the diamonds in the inlay slots one by one, using the jeweler's clamps, hammers and other tools to hammer and start fixing the bite.

The most amazing thing about this piece of jewelry is not that the material is expensive, but that the process is extremely complicated and difficult.

The carcass of the palm leaves is densely covered with peridots of various sizes.

From the outer teeth of the palm leaves to every vein, and even on the tips of the leaves, there is a small gem that is almost difficult to see with the naked eye.

This step is actually the most time-consuming, because the elf carving knife cannot be used.

Fortunately, since practicing the balancing technique, Zhao Chuanxin's control of strength has become extremely good.

He patiently hammered in all the dozens of inlay slots.

Looking at the time, two and a half hours have passed.

If you are an ordinary jeweler, this process will be so long that you will feel drowsy.

But Zhao Chuanxin's operation was like a sped-up video, and Wilhelmina actually saw it to the end.

After finishing it, Zhao Chuanxin pinched the brooch. As the brooch rotated on his fingertips, Wilhelmina saw a bright light.

"It is unique in the world, and this is the only one, dedicated to His Majesty."

So touched!

Besides Zhao Chuanxin, which man in the world would give her such a gift?
To be continued...
