Chapter 304: There Is Something Wrong With This Jewel
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Allure was auctioned off by a French collector, and it was said that the company’s operations faced some problems and were in need of money. Thus, they took out the jewelry and placed it for auction. It was a pink jewel necklace, and the legend was that it was the pink jewels from Ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertari’s crown.
After the crown was passed down for a few centuries, it was cut and made into a pink jewel necklace. This necklace and the Heart of the Ocean was very similar; the only difference was that the Heart of the Ocean was slightly bigger in size. The pink jewel was cut into a heart shape, lustrous and brilliant. It was surrounded by nineteen smaller diamonds, looking exceptionally beautiful.
This was the first time Shen Qianshu heard of Allure.
It was the French collector’s heirloom and was never once revealed to the public. Yun An, Lu Mengxi, and she were all astonished when they came into contact with Allure. It was really too breathtaking.
However, when Shen Qianshu was carrying out the last inspection, she suddenly realized a problem. This jewel was not an antique. The pink jewel was real, and the diamonds were also real, but the figures were wrong. She repeatedly inspected three times and then slightly scrunched her eyebrows together.
In all fairness, this necklace was really, really beautiful.
It was priceless.
Although not an antique, it was still priceless.
However, a collectible was a collectible. It could not be gauged by a price.
There was something wrong!
This was the first time Shen Qianshu faced such a situation. Her mind was in a total mess. She had been doing inspections for the past few days. A jewel passed down from the Ancient Egypt times would already be a few centuries old, but this jewel was clearly not over a hundred years old.
But why is it that I didn’t realize there was something wrong during the past few days?
There was already no time to re-inspect it again.
Such a jewel could absolutely not be sent to the auction hall.
“Qianshu, what’s wrong?”
“There is something wrong with this jewel!”
Lu Mengxi got a slight shock, squinted her eyes, and said, “Shen Qianshu, don’t say silly things, this is Allure!”
“This jewel is at most a hundred years old. It’s also an antique, but it’s absolutely not Allure.”
As her words landed, the few of them all fell silent. The assistant immediately went to inform the curator and temporarily closed the inspection lab.
The curator rushed in hurriedly. He had worked with Shen Qianshu for many years and really trusted her foresight. “Is there really something wrong?”
“I am sure!”
When there was a problem with the jewelry, it was a must to inform the buyer. As this matter could not be exposed too, the curator quickly sent someone to call Mr. Jonah over. Jonah was the family’s leader in this generation. He was only thirty-four this year and had come on behalf of his grandfather. He was really young.
“Fake?” Jonah frowned and said. “That’s impossible. Which appraiser said it?”
Shen Qianshu was already in a position from which there was no retiring. She was plagued by confusion. If this jewel was only a hundred years old, she clearly did not find any problems when she was inspecting the figures for the past few days, but why was it that it was just the year that was not correct?
“It’s Shen Qianshu!” Lu Mengxi said.
Jonah’s gaze turned cold, and he stared at Shen Qianshu. He pointed at Shen Qianshu and said in French, “You have no rights to be an appraiser. This jewel was passed down in my family for close to a thousand years! Although it was only crafted and cut into Allure for a short hundred years, the jewel is still a thousand over years old!”
“This jewel is only about a hundred years old. I am very sure!” She repeatedly confirmed thrice and said. “However, there are no problems with the rest of the figures. Only the year is wrong.”
She faintly felt that there was something more to this than what meets the eye, she but could not think of anything at that moment.
She only knew that she could not let the jewel enter the auction hall like this!
Jewels were more special. Just because a jewel was older did not mean that it was more expensive.
However, Allure was different. It boasted the name of the Ancient Egyptian Queen’s jewelry, and that was already out of the ordinary.
