In fact, the jewelry market is very chaotic, and there are many extremely cheap things posing as high-end jewelry. The following small series will take you to see those cheap junk "jewelry"!
The first is the dragon's breath stone.
People in China have always regarded dragons as spiritual totems. Is it dreamy and tall to hear the name "Dragon's Rest Stone"? Moreover, the appearance looks very colorful, a bit like an opal, and many merchants even use gimmicks such as "European antiques" to package it ... What is the so-called "Dragon Breathing Stone" under this package?
The answer is actually two words: glass.
Yes, the so-called dragon breath stone is very tall, just a beautiful glass handicraft made by craftsmen. In addition to a certain aesthetic degree, it has no purchase value and collection value at all, and the cost is dozens of dollars. ...
If you like its color and shape, it's ok to spend dozens of dollars for fun, but if some merchants fool you with hundreds of dollars, just turn around and leave.
Second, the emperor stone.
This name is as domineering as the dragon's breath stone above, and it is very "Wang Ba-like". It sounds like some kind of jewelry for ancient emperors, and those imperial stones on the market look a little like turquoise, so they are sometimes sold as turquoise.
In fact, this so-called emperor stone is a kind of cheap grayish yellow ore. The colors sold in the market are blue and green, and most of them are dyed! So, don't buy this kind of stone. Fakes not only cheat money, but also dye it.
Third, the sea of clouds stone.
Merchants claim that the sea of clouds stone is "produced in a small part of Nagoya, Japan, and its color is like clouds in the mountains, so it is named the sea of clouds stone, also known as Yunjing. It is a spirituality with both jade and crystal attributes, and it is the exclusive item of Yin and Yang teachers. Such a legend gives a mysterious aura to the sea of clouds gabion, and also takes the opportunity to sell it at a high price.
So, what is the sacred stone that can communicate yin and yang in this legend? In fact, it is only a kind of white chalcedony, and the cost is very cheap. Those so-called "exclusive stones of yin and yang" are just gimmicks added by merchants for high-priced sales.
4. Freshwater Golden Beads
Pearl, as the favorite jewelry of women aged 18 to 80, is undoubtedly the favorite of many people, and the expensive color of gold beads makes many people fondle it.
However, the price of seawater gold beads is relatively expensive, and it is tens of thousands. At this time, a product named "Freshwater Golden Bead" appeared in the market: it has the color of seawater Golden Bead, but the price is only one tenth. Is there really such a beautiful and cheap substitute in Zhu Jin?
Generally, the color of freshwater pearls is mostly white, and there is little gold. Even if there is, it is close to gold, and there is basically no bright gold or champagne color. What about the brightly colored freshwater golden beads on the market? Needless to say, it comes from the means of "dyeing".
Five, ice cui
When Cui Bing first appeared, it really fooled many people. It is sold as an ice seed full of green jade, and many jade lovers are amazed at its transparent texture and dazzling green degree! If jadeite can really have that kind of water and color, it must be sky-high.
Unfortunately, Cui Bing is not jade in essence, but glass.
If you carefully observe Cui Bing, you will definitely think of one thing: the bottom of beer bottles, that is to say, these black-hearted businessmen simply sold the glass at a high price of jade!
Jewelry circles are mixed, if you are not familiar with this industry, don't buy them indiscriminately! Otherwise, you spend hundreds of thousands, or even more than 10 thousand yuan, and get only a few tens of dollars of inferior goods ...
