Chapter 1277: The diamond necklace that sparked the revolution
"Steven, can you keep this Queen Mary's pearl and diamond bow brooch in Brussels? The historical significance it contains is too great, it is definitely a top antique art!
Although our Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium does not collect such antique jewelry, I am sure that the Museum of Belgian History must be very interested in it. I can help you contact them."
Gatlin said eagerly, looking at Ye Tian eagerly.
It was the same with Jurgen, who was standing next to him, his eyes full of expectation, envy, and even jealousy.
However, Ye Tian shook his head firmly and refused Gatlink's request.
"I'm very sorry, Gatlinck, Jurgen, don't think about it, this Queen Mary's pearl and diamond bow brooch is impossible to stay in Belgium!"
Upon hearing this, the two Belgian antique art appraisal experts immediately became anxious.
"Why is it impossible to stay in Belgium? If it is because of money, then you can discuss with the History Museum, and the History Museum may also accept the valuation you just gave!"
"Yes! Money is not a problem at all. Behind this top piece of jewelry is a history of the French Revolution. That's the most important thing!"
Ye Tian turned to look at Betty, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"Gentlemen, you may not know that Betty and I will get married soon. The most important purpose of our trip to Europe this time is to prepare for our wedding.
One of the tasks is to go to France to customize the top jewellery. The appearance of this pearl and diamond bow brooch can be said to be just right. It is a gift from God.
If Betty likes this piece of jewellery, then this Queen Mary's beloved brooch will belong to Betty from now on, no matter how much it is worth, what historical significance it has! "
"Wow! It turns out that because of this, it seems that we are out of play, what a pity!"
Gatlin said with emotion, full of regret.
Soon after, he congratulated Ye Tian and Betty and wished them a happy wedding.
Others like Juergen and Joseph, and Zhang Ge, the other couples also congratulated Ye Tian and Betty.
After being polite, Ye Tian continued:
"If Betty didn't leave the idea of this brooch, then I plan to use it for a few famous Chinese antique works of art. Those Chinese antique works are in the Louvre and Fontainebleau in France.
I'm sure that once the news of this top jewellery is released, the old guys in the Louvre and Fontainebleau will definitely contact me to try to get this Queen Mary brooch.
In the unlikely event that we cannot reach an agreement or exchange as we wish, I am going to send this historically significant top jewellery to the New York autumn auction, so that all interested buyers can compete fairly.
In order to be arty, the super-rich Americans have always been eager for antique artworks from the European royal family, not to mention this is the beloved thing from the peerless Queen Mary.
In New York, as long as it is properly operated and fully publicized, this Queen Mary's pearl and diamond bow brooch may even be sold for a sky-high price of more than 50 million euros, which is impossible in Europe!
The last option is to sell it to your Belgian History Museum. This possibility basically does not exist, so I said that you have no show, so don't think about it! "
After hearing these words, what else can Gatlink say? It's no use saying anything!
"I can see it, Steven, you are a very greedy guy, exactly like the legend, this top jewellery must have no chance with us!"
"It's a pity! Such a precious treasure has been hidden in Brussels for more than two hundred years. No one found it, but it ended up in your hands. How unfair to God!"
While Gatlink and Jurgen were full of emotion, they also looked at the Gent father and son not far away, and their eyes were full of sympathy and pity!
The same goes for everyone else on the scene. Everyone looked at the Gent father and son with sympathy and even thought they were extremely pitiful!
As for Ye Tian, he didn't bother to pay attention to the antique liar, perhaps this was their retribution.
At the same time, Matisse and Taylor, who were on the scene, were secretly on high alert.
Not only are they guarding the Ghent father and son to prevent them from suddenly losing their minds and getting into trouble, they are also secretly guarding the two Belgian police officers, who may not be reliable!
After admiring the pearl and diamond bow brooch for a while, everyone's eyes shifted, and they looked at the table leg in Ye Tian's hand again.
Judging from his act of holding the leg of the table without putting it down, there is obviously something in that leg of the table, maybe it is another piece of high-quality jewelry that is priceless.
"Steven, what's the baby in that table leg? Take it out and let everyone open their eyes!"
Joseph said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the table leg in Ye Tian's hand.
"Well, I also want to see what hidden treasures are there? Maybe it's a huge surprise again, if that's the case, it would be great!"
With that said, Ye Tian stood upside down the table legs again and poured out a small white satin-wrapped bag from inside.
The moment they saw this white satin pouch, everyone immediately understood that this was another top jewellery that Queen Mary sent to Brussels but was secretly intercepted by her sister.
There is no other reason why everyone has come to this judgment, but because the Bourbon dynasty logo on the white satin packet is exactly the same as the one seen before.
After getting the white satin pouch, Ye Tian didn't open it immediately, but pretended to look at the hidden grid on the table leg, shook the table leg again, and said with a light smile:
"There is nothing else in it. It is a bit regretful. I am also looking forward to discovering the diamond necklace made by Louis XV to please his mistress, Madame Du Barrie, who specially ordered the top jeweler in Paris.
According to legend, the famous diamond necklace is studded with 647 diamonds, weighs 2,800 carats, and is worth two million livres. It is known as ‘unprecedented’ luxury.
Although Louis XV customized the diamond necklace, he died too early and too suddenly to pay for it. After many setbacks, the necklace finally fell into the hands of Queen Mary.
If you could find that diamond necklace today, it would be perfect! That will definitely cause a huge sensation, but it is clear that the unprecedented diamond necklace is not in this table leg! "
With that said, Ye Tian put the table leg in his right hand on the ground, preparing to disassemble the newly discovered white satin bag.
"Steven, I have to say, you guys are so greedy that you want to find that famous diamond necklace. You are really not greedy!
For the French ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the famous diamond necklace that has caused countless disturbances is definitely one of the national treasures. Once it appears, it will definitely shake the country.
Because of the diamond necklace, Louis XV was notorious for breaking his promises, and because of the diamond necklace, a cardinal was arrested and immediately dismissed.
Also because of the diamond necklace, Queen Mary was completely convicted of "mistaking the country". It can be said that the diamond necklace was an important cause of the French Revolution!
For that famous necklace incident, the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas also specially created a historical novel, "The Queen's Necklace", which shows the importance of that diamond necklace!
Unfortunately, according to legend, the priceless diamond necklace was swallowed by the famous female liar, Jenny, and was dismantled on the black market and sold separately, and never appeared again! "
Gatlink said irritably, but there was a bit of regret in his eyes. Who doesn't want to see the miracle happen again!
While talking, Ye Tian had already untied the white satin bag in his hand, and the objects wrapped in layers were presented before everyone's eyes.
