In the bedroom, Margot, who had put on a silk pajamas, was leaning against the bedside and reading a book.

Margot is not a literary young woman, so she is not reading any deep books such as prose and poetry, but just an ordinary popular novel.

Because she was fascinated by it, she didn't notice that Josie spent a little longer in the study today.

It wasn't until Josie opened the door that she was alarmed.

But just as she raised her head, she saw Josie carefully closing the door, locking it, and then mysteriously approaching the window.

What happened? My dear. Seeing this, Margot couldn't help but asked curiously.

Nothing! It's just that I want to give you a gift! Josie pretended to be mysterious.

What gift? Let me guess... Jewelry?? Hearing Josie's words, Margot was a little surprised, and then said in surprise.

Oh dear, you guessed a little too accurately! Now it was Josie's turn to be surprised. How could this woman guess so accurately?

Is it really jewelry? That's really nice, let me see it! Margot said with great joy and anticipation.

But Josie can actually see that the joy is real, but it's not necessary to say how much he looks forward to.

This is normal. As a rich woman, and her father used to be a rich woman of a big jeweler, Margot has seen and handled countless high-end jewelry.

Not counting the big diamond ring that has been put away, Josie has also seen her other jewelry, all of which are collectible.

Therefore, it is simply unrealistic for ordinary jewelry to make this woman look forward to it.

It is precisely because of this that Josie and Margot have known each other for so long, and their relationship has become extremely close, but the reason why they have not given any formal gifts to Margot... I really can't get it. something to start with.

Margot, on the other hand, had been giving gifts to Josie.

From car to house, from wear to use.

He even wanted to give himself and his huge family property to Josie.

No way, the initial strength of the two sides is naturally unequal.

So Margot was looking forward to it only because it was the first gift Josie gave her, not to count on how precious this gift was.

Thinking of this, Josie felt that she still owed this woman a lot, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for this woman.

But having said that, Margot was probably thinking wrong today.

Because the jewelry that Josie is about to give her is really precious beyond her imagination, no, it is no longer precious, but absolutely unparalleled in the world.

So Josie didn't arouse Margot's curiosity too much, because he was afraid that after arousing Margot's emotions too much, it would easily irritate her, so he took out the gift directly from his arms.

Seeing the gift that Josie took out, Margot was stunned, but then she widened her eyes and covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes full of the crystal in front of her that was slightly dim. The dazzling brilliance shone under the lamp light.

This gift from Josh is normal, but also very abnormal.

It is normal because it is a diamond. Although he is not good at business, he can only resell his own jewelry industry, but since he was a child, Margot is very good at jewelry identification, so he can see it at a glance. , The crystal in front of me is a genuine diamond, and it is also a very precious pink diamond.

But ordinary pink diamonds are not enough to make Margot lose his temper.

What really made her lose her temper was precisely what made this gift abnormal.

That is the volume of the diamond.

They say pigeon eggs, pigeon eggs, have you ever seen a diamond the size of an egg? And it's pink!

Before today, the largest diamond in the world that Margot knew was the famous Cullinan diamond discovered in South Africa in 1905 and donated to the British royal family by the local government - the SUV of the same name of the later Rolls-Royce , is to borrow the name of this diamond.

How big is it?

That is, the palm of an adult woman is as big as the palm of your hand, 10CM long, 6.5CM wide, 5CM high, and weighs 3106 carats. It is transparent with a light blue tone.

However, this diamond was cut as early as 1908 into 9 large and 96 small.

And what about this one in front of Margot? Although it is not that big, it can be called peerless, far surpassing the second largest Mountain of Light, and its clarity is not bad, and its weight is estimated to exceed one thousand carats.

And it's a pink diamond! Pink diamonds! Pink diamonds!

Important things are said three times.

Also don't say diamonds are a scam.

Diamonds have indeed become a scam in the 21st century for two reasons, the abundance of them, and the advent of artificial diamonds.

But the former is aimed at ordinary diamonds, that is, those small particles of broken diamonds.

According to later research statistics, the reserves of diamonds on the earth are as many as several trillion tons.

Just looking at this number, diamonds really shouldn't be that valuable.

But the reality is that most of these diamonds are buried so deep underground that they are difficult to mine.

According to the proven reserves in 1943, which are easy to mine, it is hundreds of millions of tons.

However, this number of diamonds is still not enough for diamonds to reach the current value on the market.

But these hundreds of millions of tons of diamonds also have a grade gap, and only 50% of them can become gem grades.

Of these 50%, the diamonds are classified according to the 4Cs of weight, clarity, color, and cut.

Really can be called fine diamonds, in fact, less than 1%.

This part of the diamonds is more in line with the value given to them by the market.

As for the remaining 99% of the diamonds, it is worthless, but it does not prevent jewelers from packaging them and selling them at the price of fine products.

From this point of view, what a certain actress in Xia Guo said has some truth. You can't say that a diamond under one carat is worthless, but at least the collection value is not high.

So what really makes diamonds a scam is actually the emergence of artificial diamonds.

Artificial diamonds, as long as the production process is achieved, you can have any color you want, how big you want, and the purity is also the top.

But when did artificial diamonds appear? After the 70s...

And in the beginning, only non-gem-quality diamonds could be made.

The real gem-quality diamonds, in fact, will not be able to be achieved until about 2000.

Therefore, the diamond in Josie's hands is a genuine and unparalleled treasure in this era.

Is this really given to me? Where did you get it? No one else knows? Facing such a treasure, Margot was able to forcibly restrain her emotions and not cry out. Very calm.

After holding it for a long time, tears came down, and Margot's mood eased a little, and then she asked a series of questions in a very low voice.

It is really not careful.

Margot was not stupid and understood what such a treasure meant.

What it's worth is really little things.

The key is that once the news of the existence of this thing is revealed, Margot is really afraid that she and Josie will be killed in the street one day.

This kind of treasure is enough to make the whole world go crazy. Without the size of an empire where the sun never sets before the First World War, it is absolutely impossible to keep it!

And why did the British royal family choose to cut the Cullinan gemstone? Don't they know that bigger is more precious? In fact, they are also afraid of being missed...

So Josie gave Margot such a thing, and she couldn't figure out if Josie really loved her or wanted to hurt her.

Fortunately, this concern is actually not easy to solve.

Just like what the British royal family did back then, cutting this gem would not be a big problem.

And the reason why Josh gave such a diamond to Margot was actually the same idea... Margot, who has a jeweler's father, really learned how to cut jewelry for a while.

Of course, in the past, Margot had cut some small diamonds at most. This kind of big thing, let alone cutting, had never seen it before.

As for the certificate... Don't make trouble, the Gemological Institute of America, which is the most authoritative institution for diamonds in the world, was established in 31 years, but it really became a large institution with sufficient credibility after the 1950s. The 4C standard was also only available at that time.

At this point in 1943, there is no such thing as an appraisal certificate.
