Chapter 42 Turquoise Bracelet

After that, Li Mingchao told a few stories about Fang Hao's leaks, which surprised everyone, especially Liu Shi and Ma Hongfei. It's already made him a millionaire.

Liu Shi was shocked, and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, you are too mean. You have made so much money, and you don't know how to treat us to a big meal!"

Ma Hongfei also nodded repeatedly.

Fang Hao smiled and said: "Take some time, let's go to Jingzhaoyin to experience it together, but you really have the face to say, I wanted to invite you to dinner last week, how did you two reply to me?"

"Hi!" Liu Shiyi patted his thigh: "At that time, you were going to Jing Zhaoyin, but even if I have something big to do, I still have to go!"

"Slap!" Rosie next to her slapped Liu Shi's arm again: "How many times have I told you, don't swear!"

Liu Shi groaned and rubbed his arms: "Then you should be gentle!"

"Take it lightly, you don't have a long memory!"

Rosie gave her boyfriend a white look, then she took a 108 bracelet from her hand and said, "Brother Hao, I bought this turquoise bracelet for five thousand and eight. Some time ago, a friend said that it is so cheap. Maybe you can buy such a good turquoise bracelet, can you please help me to take a look. I have worn it for so long, and it has changed color, this is the characteristic of real turquoise."

Fang Hao said yes, and because Li Mingchao was close, he asked Li Mingchao to look at it first, and then said: "According to experience, real turquoise can change color, but fake turquoise can't be changed because it is dyed. Color change. If it was the period of the Republic of China, then this is indeed true, but now this rule can no longer be used as a method to judge the authenticity of turquoise."

Rosie couldn't believe it: "Why? Does the fake one have a solution?"

"I know this."

As a jewelry designer, Shang Xiaoxuan is very familiar with all kinds of jewelry, and also knows some counterfeiting methods: "Now there is a method of using white carbonate substances to fake turquoise after dyeing, which can almost reach the point of being fake. Especially when oil and sweat soak in, it will also change color, this trick is very tricky, many players are fooled because they don't know how to identify it!"

Rosie's eyes widened: "It's still like this! Then, is this bracelet of mine really fake?"

At this time, Li Mingchao appraised the bracelet and put it in front of Fang Hao: "It feels a little wrong, but I don't know much about turquoise, so I can't find out where the problem is."

Fang Hao picked up the bracelet and carefully observed the turquoise. Generally speaking, if the color is dark blue-green or dark green and very uniform, then the suspicion of fake dyeing is very high, especially those that are relatively cheap, so you must eat them if you buy them. medicine.

In addition, dyed turquoise usually deposits oil on the iron wire, forming dark lines, but on this bracelet, he did not see this obvious feature.It's almost certainly fake.

So, Fang Hao returned the bracelet to Rosie, and then spread his hands, needless to say.

Although Rosie was prepared for this result, she still had a hard time accepting it. She hadn't had a formal job yet, and she had saved the 800 yuan for several months: "Brother Hao, how did you find out? of?"

Fang Hao said: "Generally speaking, the color layer of dyed fake turquoise is relatively light. The simpler method is to observe the pores of the turquoise. You can see for yourself whether the pores of some beads are worn out and lose their color. ?”

Rosie saw that it was indeed the case, which made her both distressed and angry, and wished to beat up the seller!
Seeing his girlfriend like this, Liu Shi felt a little distressed, and quickly said: "It's okay, just take it as a pitfall and gain a wisdom. I'll buy you a real one later!"

Rosie turned her head: "I want you to take care of it, I will save money to buy it myself!"

Fang Hao noticed that Liu Shi had winked at him, and then the phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Liu Shi: "Brother Hao, please pay attention to me."

"No problem." Fang Hao replied to the message and smiled at Liu Shi.

Duan Haier who was sitting opposite asked, "Brother Hao, for those of us who don't understand, is there any other way to identify the authenticity of turquoise?"

As a model, she has a lot of exposure to jewelry. Turquoise is also her favorite jewelry, and she will buy it when she meets the right one. However, the ones she buys are not cheap, and they are all regular channels. I didn’t worry about fakes before. But just now she noticed Rosie's bracelet, if Fang Hao hadn't pointed out the problem, she wouldn't be able to tell the real thing from the fake at all, and she couldn't help but worry a little, whether she would also buy a fake one.

Fang Hao thought for a while: "There is a way, which is to wipe the surface of the turquoise with ammonia water and other chemical reagents. If it is dyed, the color will fade. Although this method is very effective, it is not very convenient to use. It can only be used as an auxiliary method. Right. In addition, for jewelry, the best way is to take it to an appraisal agency for appraisal. As long as it is from a formal channel and has a formal invoice, it is still guaranteed.

The most critical point is to remember not to have the mentality of picking up the leaks!If that kind of top-quality and flawless turquoise costs more than a thousand grams per gram, but you buy a bunch of it at a very cheap price, do you think it might be the real thing?After all, buying is not as good as selling! "

After hearing this, Rosie felt even more ashamed. When she bought it, she really had the idea of ​​picking up a bargain, but she didn't expect to fall into the trap of a profiteer.

He Meng reminded everyone: "Actually, when you buy jewelry, you can find Xiaoxuan. The company she works for now is mainly engaged in jewelry."

Rosie's eyes lit up: "Yes, Xiaoxuan, you are still a jewelry designer, can you customize it for me then, I will give you money."

Shang Xiaoxuan said with a smile: "What money is not money? You can tell me what style you like, and I will design it for you. But if you are not satisfied, you can blame me!"

"Okay! Why don't I ask for a set of gold jewelry first." Rosie immediately smiled, "But I will definitely give you the money. I can't enjoy the fruits of your labor for nothing."

"Let's talk about it later." Shang Xiaoxuan said, "I have some blueprints on my phone, do you want to send them to you?"

"That's great!"

When it came to jewelry, the four women in the room became interested, gathered together, and chatted about it, even ignoring the food.

Taking advantage of this time, Liu Shi sat next to Fang Hao with a wine glass, and whispered, "Brother Hao, how much does a good-quality turquoise bracelet cost? It's like Xiaoqian's 108 pieces."

Fang Hao thought about it for a while: "I can't give you a certain number, top-tier, you have to prepare for at least 40."

When Liu Shi heard the price, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "It's so expensive, then you should buy me one worth tens of thousands more."

Fang Hao said: "I can't guarantee you when."

"And within a month?"

"I'll try my best."

"Okay, thank you, brother!" Liu Shi happily patted Fang Hao on the shoulder, and then toasted Fang Hao with a glass of wine.
