Chapter 494 Too soft-hearted

Susie smiled at him and said, "Hello."

David was afraid of disturbing others, so he stopped talking.

The host on the stage announced the start of the auction.

Liang Bixia previously signed the auction agreement on behalf of Su Qian, so Su Qian's brooch was also included in the auction.

The first thing to be auctioned was a ring designed by the young man named David behind Susie.

The main stone is a diamond-shaped yellow diamond, surrounded by colorless diamonds. The ring is made into a unique castle shape, giving it a unique sense of power. It is obviously a men's ring.

Soon, biddings were heard one after another in the field, and before long, the yellow diamond ring was sold for 1.5 million francs.

Susie made an estimate in her mind. The estimated market price of the yellow diamond was around 7 to 8 million francs. Broken diamonds were not worth much. The ring sold for more than 1.5 million francs, which obviously exceeded the value of the jewelry itself.

, the premium part is brought about by the design, or in other words, people are willing to pay so much money because of the third prize in the jewelry competition.

The Paris Jewelry Competition is only held once every three years, and only a few award-winning pieces of jewelry are auctioned each time, so many people are still willing to pay high prices to collect them.

Next up for auction is the second prize necklace.

The main stone of the necklace is an emerald of over six carats, and the entire necklace is composed of dozens of emeralds of varying sizes.

The market price of these gems alone is more than one million francs.

Susie listened to those people's bidding one after another. The host guest acted as the auctioneer, and the necklace was finally sold for 1.9 million.

Then Susie's lily of the valley brooch was placed in the center of the podium.

A photo of the brooch was displayed on the big screen.

Susie didn't know how much the brooch could be sold for. Speaking of raw materials, the gemstones she used were really not worth much compared to the yellow diamond ring and emerald necklace.

The pearl particles are not big and not worth much, and the diamonds and some small emeralds inlaid on them are not worth much either.

The most valuable thing is the imperial green jade leaves. However, the leaves are not very thick or big. They are actually leftover materials for making bracelets. Even the top-grade imperial green ones are worth hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars at most.

The host quoted the lowest price, one million francs.

Susie heard someone start bidding immediately, and it turned out to be Master Neil, the chairman of the jury sitting on the stage.

Master Neil directly bid 1.2 million.

There were exclamations from the audience.

Master Neil is a jewelry designer himself, and I have never heard of him buying jewelry designed by other designers.

Thinking again, Master Neil scored a high score of 18 points just now, which shows that he loves this brooch very much.

If a work can be so loved by Master Neil, then maybe Miss Beverly, the designer of the jewelry, will be the next Master Neil.

You must collect the works of future masters as soon as possible!

The audience began to bid wildly.

Susie looked on dumbfounded.

The price quickly rose from 1.2 million to 2.2 million, and these people were still bidding.

Finally someone shouted out 2.6 million.

For a moment, Susie even felt a little guilty. The premium was too high and the gem was not worth so much.

On second thought, I was still too soft-hearted.

Think of a luxury brand that sells thousands of pairs of pearl earrings that are actually made of plastic.

Another luxury brand sells alloy bracelets with a cost of tens of dollars at most, and even leather rope bracelets can sell for thousands.

Moreover, Susie doesn't think those things have any aesthetic value at all, but even if they sell logos, the brand premium is too high.

But there are people willing to pay.

Anyway, Susie never bought these branded jewelry in her previous life. She is not stupid. She would rather buy top-quality gemstones or antiques at auctions.

Luxury goods are actually used to harvest the middle class.

Susie thought about it, maybe Westerners like to do value-added.

It seems that in order to design this brooch, she racked her brains for several months, changed the design draft again and again, and put in a lot of effort to achieve such a perfect presentation.

This is by no means worth the premium price compared to those plastic pearl earrings.

In the end, the price stayed at 2.6 million francs, the first-prize work was auctioned, and the entire auction was over.

Soon, all the remaining shortlisted works were placed on the booth.

Then the host announced that the awards ceremony was over and everyone was free to go on stage to watch the shortlisted works.

If you are interested in purchasing, please contact the organizer.

The organizer takes a cut of every piece of jewelry sold here.

All the lights in the entire venue were on, and many people walked towards the booth. After all, it is better to see the real thing than to see the photos.

David, who was in the back seat, immediately came over and said, "Miss Beverly, I really like the brooch you designed. This is the first time I have seen such a clever piece of jewelry."

Susie smiled and said, "I like your work too, the design is very unique."

David said very sincerely: "Miss Beverly, can we exchange contact information? I think we can discuss jewelry design together in the future."

Susie nodded, opened her handbag, took out a notepad and pen and wrote down her address and phone number.

David also wrote her his address.

At this time, a staff member came over and said to Susie: "Miss Beverly, please come with me there, show your receipt, and then collect your check."

The staff thoughtfully packed Susie's crystal trophy in a bag, and then took Susie to get the check.

The check was brought over, Susie looked at it, and only charged a 10% handling fee, and received 2.34 million francs.

After collecting the check, Susie looked around and was about to go find Master Neil when she saw Master Neil walking towards him.

The two hugged intimately again, and Master Neil smiled and said: "I like your works very much. I originally planned to buy them for collection, but unfortunately, they raised the price too high."

Susie laughed and said, "I also want to collect your works. I particularly liked the necklace from last time."

Neil nodded, "That necklace is my most satisfying work so far. I put it in my study."

The two of them were talking, and not far away, Zhou Baozhu stared at them with jealousy.

She felt that Susie was her nemesis.

The man she likes likes Susie, and Susie even does a better career than her!

Zhou Baozhu was standing near her jewelry display cabinet. She designed exactly that ruby ​​flower basket, and the judges scored it less than sixty points.

She still remembered the last time she talked to Master Neal, but Master Neal didn't give him any face, and she didn't dare to go there now.

Then Zhou Baozhu saw her favorite star Anna walking over and talking to Susie and Master Neil.

Anna was the one who took the photo of the lily of the valley brooch. She fell in love with it as soon as she saw it and felt that it suited her temperament very well.

At this moment Anna smiled and said: "It turns out that Miss Beverly is a student of Master Neil. No wonder the designed works are so spiritual."
