Chapter 213: Chapter 133: Inhumanly Rich
Tiny diamonds were cleverly set together, forming a flower-shaped pendant.
The design was simple, yet decidedly luxurious.
"How much is this one?"
Tan Hua quite liked the design, so she asked the sales associate.
"This diamond pendant is priced at 700,000 yuan. It’s one of the most expensive necklaces we have in stock that isn’t a high-end custom piece."
After replying, the sales associate looked at Qi Sheng with great anticipation.
Whether she could make the sale depended on whether this young master would nod his approval.
Some say that diamonds are the world’s biggest scam.
But they’re also the most successful marketing campaign of the twentieth century.
Because the value of a diamond doesn’t match its price at all.
Their price is something completely inflated by market speculation.
If you buy gold jewelry, you can still liquidate it when you need money.
As time goes on, the price of gold might even appreciate significantly.
But if you buy a piece of diamond jewelry,
even from a top-tier brand like Van Cleef & Arpels,
trying to sell it later becomes a huge hassle.
You might not be able to sell it even at a steep discount.
But undeniably, even knowing that diamonds offered terrible value for their price,
once they saw that dazzling sparkle,
very few women could resist the temptation.
Looking at the exquisite diamond pendant in the jewelry box and its steep price of 700,000 yuan,
Tan Hua hesitated and looked at Qi Sheng. "Honey, what do you think?"
"It’s just okay."
Qi Sheng sized it up for a moment, then asked the sales associate, "Do you have any necklaces that are more... special?"
A peculiar glint flashed in the sales associate’s eyes. She inquired, "Sir, are you dissatisfied with the style, or do you find the materials not special enough?"
"Mainly the materials."
Qi Sheng thought the pendant’s design was actually pretty good.
But it was just made of small diamonds pieced together, which felt a bit plain and ordinary.
"Alright, I understand."
A few minutes later, two transparent display cases made of bulletproof tempered glass were carefully placed in front of Qi Sheng and Tan Hua.
Apparently, because of their high value,
two security guards were now standing beside the sales associate.
This was to prevent any unexpected incidents like theft.
The moment the cases were brought over, Tan Hua’s gaze was completely captivated by the two necklaces inside.
The sales associate pointed to the pendant on the left and began her introduction. "This is the Brume de saphir necklace. It achieves an iridescent effect with diamonds embracing a harmonious gradient of colored sapphires. Each gemstone symbolizes a droplet of water, like surging waves, which also complements Miss Tan’s aura perfectly."
"In terms of materials, besides the 18k rose gold, it has 22.13 carats of sapphires and 21 carats of diamonds—an almost 1:1 ratio."
It wasn’t just Tan Hua; even Qi Sheng thought the necklace was truly beautiful.
"How much?"
Qi Sheng asked.
"The price is a little steep."
The sales associate immediately replied, "This necklace is priced at 2.67 million yuan."
2.67 million!
Even though she had braced herself, upon hearing the price,
Tan Hua was still stunned.
This one necklace was enough to buy a whole apartment in Chengdu.
"Hm."
Qi Sheng nodded and looked at the other necklace.
"Tell us about this one now."
Seeing that Qi Sheng showed no intention of buying, the sales associate’s spirits fell slightly.
After all, that necklace was over two million.
The one next to it was even more frighteningly expensive.
"Of course, sir."
The sales associate, ever the professional, introduced the necklace in the right-hand display case.
This one was from the À Cheval collection, with the pendant made entirely of 18K yellow gold and diamonds.
It had a higher diamond carat weight than the pink necklace next to it.
It was set with a total of 282 diamonds, weighing in at a staggering 54.04 carats.
As for the price, it reached a terrifying 4.56 million yuan.
Qi Sheng’s gaze shifted back and forth between the two necklaces a few times before he pulled out his bank card.
"I’ll take them both."
He didn’t ask for Tan Hua’s opinion. It would have been pointless to ask.
The seven-million-yuan gown had already left her on edge.
Now, with over seven million in jewelry, she probably wouldn’t dare say a word.
But he knew without asking that she absolutely adored both necklaces.
One gold, one pink—it would be easy for her to coordinate them with her outfits.
Qi Sheng was already starting to look forward to it. ’With my girlfriend’s beauty, once she puts on a noble gown and wears one of these necklaces... just how beautiful will she look?’
