Chapter 529 Diamonds are forever

The 20th century slogan diandfree" is a classic advertising slogan that touched countless couples who were addicted to love, and made them look forward to the eternity of love more. At the same time, they were deeply attracted by the rare and precious "king of gems".

In 1993, the International Diamond Promotion Center solicited the Chinese translation of the article from the society. As a result, a university teacher's "diamond is forever and one is everlasting." successfully opened up the Chinese diamond sales, which changed the traditional concept of Chinese people wearing gold and stones for weddings, and thus formed a new concept of "no diamonds" for Chinese newlyweds.

The dozens of diamond jewelry placed in front of you are very valuable at first glance. Many of them are experts here, and they stole the silly thought that most of them were diamonds from South Africa and Russia. Especially the dozens of colorful diamonds, they are even more valuable treasures.

According to general value evaluation, the purer the diamond is, the better it is. The American Gem Academy is the world's largest gem industry tasting institution. It determines the "4", namely the weight, clarity, sourness and cutting of a diamond, which are internationally recognized standards for measuring the quality of a diamond.

The concept of sèze refers to the best. The deeper the adjustment, the worse the quality. It is classified according to diamonds. The top-level color is dsè, and it is arranged downwards in sequence. The k-level downwards basically has no meaning to collect.

However, colored diamonds can be said to have broken out of the traditional diamond rating system. The reason is that colored diamonds are extremely rare in the world and ordinary diamond rating system cannot be applied. Many people who do not know how to do business often confuse colored diamonds and colored gems. In fact, there is a fundamental difference between the two. The price of colored diamonds is often higher than that of gems of the same colored ones.

The essence of color diamonds is the same as diamonds without them. They are the only one made of single element carbon. The reason why color diamonds have color is because trace element atoms enter the crystal structure of diamonds; in addition, crystal plastic deformation causes dislocation and defects, which makes them absorb certain light and show color.

The rare thing about colored diamonds is its extremely low output. About 100 million carats of diamonds are unearthed in a year, less than one of which is gem-grade, and most of them are diamonds with slightly yellow or brown, collectively known as sè diamonds.

Among them, colored diamonds only account for about 10% of them, and most of them are yellow low-grade diamonds. Only bright colored diamonds can be designated to enter the diamond-level fany rade specially designed for colored diamonds. Diamonds with yellow or brown are rare in the entire history of diamond mining, so whether the diamond face is pink, green, blue, purple, etc., they are collectively called colored diamonds.

In addition to being rare, colored diamonds are also very different according to the chances of various colors appearing. For example, red diamonds are almost slim, green, blue, and purple are also extremely rare. In comparison, yellow, brown and other colors are relatively more beautiful, but those with high clarity are also priceless.

Among them, the one known as the king of colored diamonds is the best red and blood-red red in the red diamonds, also known as the "blood diamond". In Yang Xing's previous life, DiCaprio, the starring "Titanic" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", used this phrase to point out the rareness of blood diamonds and the disasters brought about by excavation.

The famous international diamond production areas include Africa, Australia and Russia, but the best quality diamonds have always come from Africa. Many African countries in the production areas have been constantly in civil war. In order to raise military expenses, all parties in the war have set their minds on diamonds with convenient transportation and small size and high value.

Therefore, in many African countries, diamonds are the main source of funds used by the army to purchase arms. Each diamond they produce is glued with the blood of African mining workers or victims of war. Therefore, diamonds from African war countries are called "blood diamonds".

As the African civil war escalates and the lives of life are lost, international arms dealers are behind the scenes, using arms to exchange diamonds, and then using the international diamond market to launder money is constantly exposed by journalists and international rescue organizations. The mainstream Western media have launched fierce comments on several major diamond dealers who monopolize international diamonds. International diamond dealers, who are in the whirlpool of public opinion, had to take the initiative and formulate a code of conduct called "Kimberley Process" to control the circulation of "blood diamonds".

At this engagement banquet, Yang Xingchi tried to persuade Wang Yiren to come back from the United States. It was a "blood diamond" with only about 3 carats. Although she was petite, she was intoxicatingly red.

The moment the curtain was opened, many famous and valuables present screamed.

In 1989, a blood diamond similar to this diamond appeared in Paris, France, weighing 2.23 carats and was named "Laqi". The auction price at that time was US$42 million, which was 100,000 times the price of gold and 2,000 times more expensive than the same size of the Sè-free diamond.

Wang Yiren looked at the blood diamond with mist in her eyes. It was obvious that it represented Yang Xing's attitude. She was still a well-deserved queen. In addition to this touching color diamond, various color diamonds that were rare in the past appeared one after another. This engagement banquet turned into a feast of top international diamonds.

In addition to Wang Yiren's blood diamond, from the color and size of these color diamonds, guests speculated about the status of Yang Xing's fiancée in his mind. For example, Ouyang Qian's pink diamond was larger than the pink diamond that only sold for $6 million not long ago. Zhou yàn Hong was playing with the blue diamond size close to the pigeon egg, which was the largest color diamond in the venue.

The golden colored diamond on Yu Aojun wore the finger and Wen Tian beside him, the purple and green colored diamonds on Tan Li's hands shining brightly. With the shining diamond necklaces and earrings on their bodies, the group of NVs standing in the sun turned into luminous bodies, just like a group of immortals in the sky descending to the mortal world.

Some experts were so scared that they almost dropped their chin. If calculated based on the market price, the price of these dozens of diamond jewelry is as high as 200 million US dollars. Yang Xing is really willing to bleed heavily for his NV people.

The people watching were scared. As Yang Xing's fiancée, they were even more shining by the colorful diamonds with glittering eyes. Except for a few who could control them, most of the others were filled with tears. After all, although many NV people verbally said that the value of gifts is not important, and they valued the hearts of men more, they still longed for their boyfriends to give them a precious and dazzling gift one day, and the set of diamond jewelry in front of them undoubtedly fulfilled their dreams.

Yang Xing presented this engagement ceremony, which completely blocked the NV Fang's family. After all, Yang Xing gave such a precious gift, which is rare in the world. Although everyone said that gifts and feelings cannot be linked, Yang Xing was willing to express this to his NV people, at least showing his sincerity. And each person had a set of things, which also showed that he was as good as possible to serve him.

Just as everyone was shocked by Yang Xing's engagement gift, Yang Xing stood up with a smile and announced: "Today, let everyone witness my engagement on this beautiful beach. Thank you very much for coming. I am a businessman. Let me announce a business news here first. All of the jewelry in front of you is from Xingmeng Jewelry, a subsidiary of Xingmeng Fashion. Most of the diamonds you see are semi-finished because they have to be rushed to work. If you are interested, you can wait a few days after the engagement ceremony before visiting. We welcome everyone to cooperate. And to thank everyone, Xingmeng Jewelry has prepared a small gift for everyone here. Please promote it for us after going back."

At this time, everyone here remembered that when they entered the venue, everyone received a small gift bag marked with the Xingmei Fashion logo. They thought it was Xingmei Fashion cosmetics. Now, after Yang Xing said this, they all guessed whether it was jewelry?

Someone who was anxious immediately opened the gift box secretly and glanced at him, and almost couldn't help but jump up. The inside was filled with small diamond gifts. The man had cufflinks and the nv was a hairpin, and it was covered with broken diamonds. Although it was not as good as Yang Xing's engagement, the workmanship was absolutely no less than 10,000 yuan. It was really not a small gift. Many unmarried young men looked at Yang Xing with longing. He was clearly the genuine diamond king.

Yang Xing gave diamonds to him was inspired by the Argyle Mine in Australia. As the place with the largest total diamond production in the world, Australia is far beyond South Africa, the hometown of diamonds in people's minds. The main production area of ​​Australian diamonds is the Argyle Mine in northeastern Western Australia.

In 1983, the Argyle Mine was the largest diamond mine in the world, and its output soared. By 1994, the mine reached its peak. The annual production of diamonds exceeded 4 million carats, accounting for 40 of the global output. However, the diamond quality of the Argyle Mine is not high. Except for a small number of diamond-free ore, most of them are low-quality diamond-based ore from brown to yellow. However, as the saying goes, the quantity must always exceed the quality. Some products will always emerge from the huge output of the Argyle Mine. For example, the pink diamond with rare production is mostly from this huge mine. The pink diamond called "Pink Barbie" in Ouyang Qian's hand is produced here.

Yang Xing and Australian political consultants reached a mineral resource agreement for large-scale investment and development in Western Australia and other places. In addition to bulk base metal minerals such as iron, aluminum, and copper, they were also interested in precious metal mines such as platinum, titanium, gold and silver, and naturally also included diamonds from the Argyle Mine.

As Xingmei Fashion is fully preparing to enter the high-end luxury jewelry and jewelry market, Yang Xing saw the detailed introduction of Argyle Mine. Yang Xing just remembered the famous saying "diamonds are eternal" and felt that giving diamonds best reflects his "loyalty" love. Moreover, the guests invited at the engagement banquet are either rich or noble, which is the main selling target of luxury goods such as diamonds, so Xingmei Fashion simply asked all kinds of precious diamonds to collect all kinds of precious diamonds, which not only creates top jewelry for their fiancées, but also promotes the design and production capabilities of Xingmei Jewelry at the engagement banquet.
