Chapter 740: Flower between the fingers
After admiring a few pieces of jewellery on the coffee table, everyone's attention shifted immediately and turned to look at the two rusty old safes in the center of the living room.
"Steven, how do you turn on these two cumbersome guys? Did you do it yourself and use a stethoscope to turn on the password? Or do we do it and cut it directly with gas welding?"
Kenny asked excitedly, already gearing up, eager to try.
"Don't be kidding! This thing has been eroded by sea water for more than 30 years. I don't know what the rust looks like inside. The transmission system must have long been scrapped. Even if you know the password, you can't open it.
Cut directly, it saves trouble, but the cutting location can't be here, go to the stern, pay attention to safety, and put more stuff, the safe must be dirty, don't pollute the deck! "
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head and said, raising his finger in the direction of the yacht's stern.
"You're right, just cut it directly, let's start, really want to see what is stored in these two safes!"
With that, Kenny and the others stood up and began to move the safe to the stern. Everyone was in high spirits! Energetic!
In a blink of an eye, these two heavy safes were moved out of the living room and moved to the deck of the stern recreation area, ready to start cutting!
Ye Tian and Matisse did not get up to follow them, but stayed in the living room waiting for the result.
The others followed. Everyone wanted to witness the opening of the two safes and see what was inside!
While getting up and walking towards the stern, Orlando asked curiously:
"Raymond, what did Kenny just say about opening the safe with a stethoscope to listen to the password? Could it be that Steven can really open the safe with a stethoscope, isn't it possible? This is too illusory!"
"You heard it right, just use a stethoscope to listen to the password to open the safe. It sounds really illusory and a bit unbelievable, but this is a fact that we have witnessed.
And Steven opened the safe with a stethoscope extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he opened a tightly locked safe, effortlessly!
When I saw this scene, everyone was stunned. The scene was absolutely breathtaking. Up to now, I have only seen Steven do this, and no one else has even heard it!
This is Steven’s unique skill, that’s why Kenny said that. In my opinion, even if you give Steven a piece of celery, he can open a safe with a celery bucket. Everything is possible! "
Raymond smiled and nodded and said, giving an affirmative answer.
"Ah! How is this possible? Stabbing the safe with a celery, isn't that a snitch! And the most awesome snitch!"
Johnny, who was walking in the front, turned around and exclaimed, his face full of inconceivable expression, and there was a bit of fear in the depths of his eyes.
"Hahaha, yes, it's a snitch! This description is very appropriate!"
Matisse, who was still sitting on the sofa, said with a big smile, and turned to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian could only shook his head and smiled bitterly, this name is not so nice!
Talking and laughing, everyone has walked out of the living room and came to the stern recreation area.
Then, Miller and the others began to get busy, and it didn't take long before they were ready to cut the safe.
Immediately afterwards, a strong light gleamed from the recreation area at the stern, and the sound of high temperature burning metal followed.
"Now--!"
About ten minutes later, the first safe was successfully cut open, and there was a burst of cheers from the stern side.
Soon, these cheers turned into disappointed sighs.
From the changes in everyone's voice and mood, Ye Tian immediately heard that the first one to be cut was the safe found in the captain's room.
There are very few things in that safe, so it's clear at a glance!
There were a scrapped pistol and several magazines, tens of thousands of same scrapped dollars, two small jewelry boxes, and some documents that were soaked in seawater.
Seeing this, everyone is naturally disappointed!
After a while, the glare of the recreation area at the stern reappeared, extremely dazzling!
The second safe has been put on the cushion and started cutting.
Another ten minutes or so passed in a blink of an eye, and cheers came again, and at the same time, Miller and the others were talking.
"Hey! There is also a jewelry box in this safe, and it is so big, I don't know what jewelry is in it, or there is nothing in it"
"This time I might get a big surprise. This is Harry Winston's jewelry box, one of the super jewelry brands, famous all over the world for the craftsmanship of diamond cutting and setting!
Although the scenery of this jewelry box has been eroded by sea water, you can still see its exquisiteness and luxury. It can be seen that the jewelry stored in it must be very valuable! "
It was Johnny who said this, very confident!
As a Hollywood superstar, he is naturally treasured by top jewelry brands, and his taste is quite extraordinary!
"Wow! If that's the case, it would be great! Let's take these jewelry boxes back to the living room and open them one by one to see if we can find surprises!"
When the voice fell, Miller and the others immediately began to clean the jewelry boxes.
After rinsing them, they immediately took a few jewelry boxes and other things they took out of the safe and walked quickly towards the living room.
Soon, everyone entered the living room and took their seats. All the items taken from the safe were placed on the coffee table, right in front of everyone.
The two Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry boxes are not big, a pistol that has been badly corroded and turned into scrap, and tens of thousands of completely scrapped dollars are all from the safe found in the captain's room.
As for the documents stored in the safe, they have no value at all. Miller and the others did not bring it, and they will return to the sea with the cut safe later!
In addition to these, there is a jewelry box on the coffee table, from the top jewelry brand Harry Winston.
This jewelry box is not small in size, about 30*40, and it is quite exquisitely made. The whole is made of black walnut wood, inlaid with gold edges, and the surface is carved with beautiful patterns.
In addition, there are two lady-kun bags from the top luxury Hermès, but the styles have long been outdated and completely scrapped and have no value.
After sitting down, everyone immediately looked at the jewelry boxes in front of them, focusing on Harry Winston's jewelry boxes. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation.
"Steven, you and Matisse discovered this Peruvian cargo ship. It's up to you to open these jewelry boxes and see what's inside."
Kenny suggested, and the others nodded too, with no disagreement.
Ye Tian didn't refuse, and immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Well then! This pistol and tens of thousands of dollars have been completely scrapped and have no value at all. Later, put them back in the safe and throw them directly into the sea!
The same goes for Hermès handbags. Check if there is anything in it, and then throw it into the sea. The bottom of the sea is their home. After a few hundred years, these things may become valuable antiques! "
"Okay! But I am afraid it is difficult for these things to become antiques. They were kept relatively well in the airtight environment of the safe until they were discovered by us.
Now that the safe has been cut open, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be digested and decomposed by marine life. Except for the pistol and the safe itself, it is estimated that there is nothing left! "
Miller nodded and said with a smile.
"Then it has nothing to do with us! Now let's open these jewelry boxes, first of all, start with this Van Cleef & Arpels, and hope to have surprising discoveries!"
With that, Ye Tian picked up a Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry box and opened it casually.
When the jewelry box was opened, a peculiar diamond ring immediately appeared in front of everyone, bursting with brilliant light!
This is a ring between the fingers, a ring created by Van Cleef & Arpels, known as the flower between the fingers!
At the top of the ring are two small butterflies that are inlaid with diamonds and pink sapphires, leaping to fly! One butterfly is silvery white and the other is pink. The shape is very beautiful and vivid!
The setting inlaid with broken diamonds and pink sapphires are made of rose gold and white gold, respectively, noble but not superficial, very elegant!
The ring finger ring is made of platinum, with rounded lines, simple and smooth, giving people a white and flawless feeling!
The only regret is that the two white pearls inlaid on the ring and used as the body of a butterfly have basically lost their luster at this time, and become a little yellow and dark!
But this can be repaired, just send the ring back to Van Cleef & Arpels for two white pearls.
After cleaning it again, this ring between the fingers will immediately regain its most beautiful light!
If you consider the size of diamonds and pink sapphires, the value of this ring is not very high! The diamonds and pink sapphire particles inlaid on it are very small, not worth much!
As for rose gold and platinum, there is not much value!
But the preciousness of this ring between the fingers lies in the ingenious design, the ingenious diamond setting technique, and the halo effect of the Van Cleef & Arpels brand!
In the field of jewelry, Van Cleef Arpels and Harry Winston are equally famous, equivalent to the Patek Philippe in the watch, and the status is still above the famous jewelry brands such as Cartier and Tiffany. It can be described as the top luxury!
As soon as the jewelry box was opened, there was a sound of admiration in the living room.
"Wow! This thing is so beautiful, the design is so distinctive, I like this piece of jewelry!"
"Me too, but who knows what it is? It looks like a ring~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but it is separate. I really haven't seen this kind of jewelry, my eyes are open!"
Although amazed, neither Kenny nor the others could recognize the purpose of the jewel in front of them, nor did they understand its name.
Only Ye Tian, an experienced professional treasure hunter, and two Hollywood stars knew what it was and understood its value.
After a short while, Orlando began to answer questions for everyone.
"This is the ring between the fingers of Van Cleef & Arpels, which is also a kind of ring. It is a ring unique to the top brand of Van Cleef & Arpels. It is very beautiful and is known as the flower between the fingers!
I did not expect to see a ring between the fingers here, and it is a work of Van Cleef & Arpels decades ago. It can be said to be quite rare. I am sure that this ring between the fingers is absolutely valuable! "
As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded.
"Orlando is right. In the antique market, the ring between the fingers representing Van Cleef & Arpels' unique creativity is rare, and even fewer with decades of history! And the appearance is so outstanding!
The market value of this ring between the fingers should be around US$120,000. If it is sent to a large auction, the price will double if there is a little speculation! "
Hearing these words, there was another admiration in the living room.
