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.
