Sometimes, you need fantastic things

Whenever you encounter special occasions such as Valentine's Day, Tanabata Festival, and Anniversary Day, do you prepare a gift that expresses your heart in advance? At the very least, we should no longer be the focus of marketing for many jewelry brands, e-commerce platforms, and shoppers. On this day, it's not important what gift you give. What's important is to have an attitude and a sense of ceremony. Therefore, today we are going to tell you something shiny and fresh around some good things that are "porphyry and porphyry."

Over the years, the slogan "Diamonds are long-lasting and one will last forever" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Many people think that in this life they must have a diamond of 1ct or more to be perfect. However, it is unknown that De Beers, the world's largest diamond mining group, has successfully cultivated artificial diamonds in the laboratory.

By simulating the natural formation process of diamonds, diamonds manufactured by CVD technology are completely consistent with natural diamonds in terms of physical structure, chemical properties, and appearance of finished products! Except for a few international laboratories, they cannot be distinguished. (In fact, it can be simply understood that this is a true diamond. Because diamond is just another crystal of carbon, its formation process is not complicated, it only requires high temperature and pressure, about 1,000 degrees. It is technically completely analogous.)

Lightbox is a jewellery brand established by the De Beers Group to sell synthetic diamonds. It is sold at a uniform price of $ 800 per carat and the price of colored diamonds is the same as that of colorless diamonds. (You can go to the official website) A 0.25ct pink diamond only costs 200 US dollars.

Of course, whether it is for the protection of its own brand or the occupation of the low-end jewelry market. De Beers does not sell loose diamonds of artificial diamonds, but only sells them as finished jewelry.

Seeing this, do you still think diamond is an unattainable jewellery? In fact, a saying has been popular in the jewelry circle many years ago: the value of diamonds is artificially controlled (De Beers Group), and gold is the more valuable precious metal. (Because it can be used as hard currency, and the value standard of gold: purity, is naturally determined. The 4C standards for diamonds: cut, color, clarity, carat weight, but de Beers set.

Well, we don't compare diamond and gold which is more valuable, at least on the material level, it is meaningless to compare their collection value. In terms of single round rarity, these two materials do not have much reserves on the earth, but diamonds can be copied as a representation of carbon. And gold cannot.

But in the perspective of women's beauty, they are not entangled in which material is more expensive, but only look at whether the finished product of jewelry is exquisite. This is what we will talk about below, about the meaning of design!

Everyone must know Swarovski? Born in Austria in 1895, it is famous for its advanced precision cutting technology and brilliant crystal products. (Suddenly the word "imitation crystal" appears) Of course, the famous French luxury brands Baccarat, Leo, Czech Bohemia, Turkey's NUDE, Japan's SOGA and so on.

When talking about imitated crystal, many people have a misunderstanding: it must be worthless. Then we return to the story about materials, why should we crystal? Natural crystal is a kind of silicon dioxide crystal that is not easy to be mined. It contains many minerals and will show different colors, inclusions, and impurities. They are difficult to meet the needs of various utensils.

At present, the largest crystal product found in China's scientific research is a national treasure-level cultural relic during the Warring States Period. According to the picture, this crystal cup is not like people imagine, it has a crystal clear texture and pure and flawless gloss.

Just as we have seen in many luxurious palaces, those colorless and miscellaneous, shiny crystal cups, crystal lamps, and crystal utensils are actually present crystals, or they are called crystal glass, all lead crystal. According to European standards, glass containing 24% -30% of lead oxide can be called full lead crystal, such as Waterford crystal containing 30% lead oxide, Baccarat and Bohemian crystal containing 24% lead oxide, Swarovski Shiqi contains 32% lead oxide. These are all lead crystals. At the same time, many contemporary brands have begun to use lead-free crystals: barium-zinc crystals, zirconium crystals, titanium crystals, etc. For example, Turkish NUDE uses lead-free crystals. Either way, there is only one purpose, to add transparency to the glass, and to feel more heavy.

那这些水晶玻璃制品到底值不值钱呢?这么来说吧,很小的一件施华洛世奇饰品,售价都要接近千元上下;奥地利的Riedel作为世界上颇具盛名的葡萄酒杯和酒器制造商,人工精心吹制的水晶杯售价在1500-3000元,醒酒器更贵;有着法国皇室血统的巴卡拉酒杯,国内单只的价格也在2000 元以上,更不要说下面这一套巴卡拉的古董,价格已经数万元。

为什么玻璃器皿的价格能如此昂贵?这就是之前我们不多讨论是钻石更值钱,还是黄金更昂贵的原因。在中国有句老话“玉不琢不成器”,材质的价值终归有限,只有赋予其更多的艺术内容和精湛工艺,才能展现它们真正的美。

自16世纪起,欧洲对玻璃的生产技术就十分成熟。尤其是皇家贵族对于水晶玻璃装饰品,日用器物更是极度偏爱。直到如今,西方世界对水晶工艺品的卖点也从来不是材质,不会纠结于水晶有多天然、多珍贵、多么来之不易。所有的欧洲水晶品牌,它们的高附加值始终体现在切面、打磨与华贵艺术美学的融合。艺术设计与制作工艺才是值钱的地方!

For example, René Lalique, the founder of the internationally renowned crystal brand, France, is known as "the inventor of modern jewellery" and "glass poet". This is because in 1908, he designed the first perfume bottle with crystal glass, creating a new situation of exquisite perfume bottle design and exquisite perfume packaging, and once became an invited franchisee of many perfume brands. His artistic display of crystal glass focuses entirely on the creation and processing of poets.

Just like our respect for life aesthetics, beautiful things are always condensed in life, and they are inseparable from the display of artistic ideas. In the Ruige Bookcase · Shenzhen · Yuewen space, many well-known designer brands have been introduced, such as NUDE from Turkey, Georg Jensen from Denmark, Seletti from Italy, and so on.

And love can continue to rise, do not have to wear it, any delicate moment in the daily room will make the day of love, Valentine's Day every day.
