Song Meiling's favorite, Duan Jiayu's bracelet, worth more than 100 million, has now disappeared
Hello everyone, I'm Brother Xuan. Duan Jiayu, one of the four famous jadeite jade, has a long history and is deeply loved by people. Even Song Meiling, a famous jadeite collector in the ** period, has a soft spot for it and has spent a huge amount of money to collect a pair of top floating flower bracelets.
Duan Jiayu's charm can be seen.
The value of this pair of floating flower bracelets is amazing, and industry experts estimate that it is at least more than 100 million, which makes people even more curious about "Duan Jiayu".
If you want to understand the origin of Duan Jiayu, you must mention Duan Shengcai, an important figure. Born in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, he grew up living in the remote area of Tengchong Qiluo, and was forced to leave his hometown in search of a livelihood due to his family's poverty.
After many twists and turns, he finally signed a contract to become a servant in a jade factory.
Duan Shengcai was attracted by the strong atmosphere of jade, and whenever he had free time, he concentrated on studying the characteristics and performance of jade. Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for him to return to his hometown, but his enthusiasm for jade research has not diminished.
Before leaving his hometown, Duan Sheng asked his master's family to take a stone with him. This stone is not from the jade factory's stock or leftovers, but an ordinary stone used as a stepping stone at the door.
If it hadn't been for Duan Shengcai's mention, the master would have forgotten the existence of this stone and agreed to take it away. However, who would have expected that it was this ordinary stone that made Duan Shengcai a well-known wealthy jadeite businessman!
After going through a lot of hard work to transport the stone back to his hometown, Duan Shengcai's first task was to cut it. Once the stone was split in two, Duan Sheng confirmed that he had won the bet.
It turned out that this seemingly ordinary stone actually contained a glass-bottomed jadeite! The interior also floats with blue-green textures, like aquatic plants gently swaying in the clear and transparent water, full of artistic conception.
Although this piece of material has been trampled by thousands of people, there are almost no obvious cracks on the inside, which is the most suitable for making bracelets. It is said that Duan Shengcai took out a total of 400 jade bracelets, and divided them into grades according to the number of floating flowers, with 3 and below being the bottom, 4 to 8 being the middle, and 9 being the top.
* Relatively high, a medium-grade bracelet may cost 1000 to 3000 oceans in the market, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
The wealthy of that period were amazed by such a rare jadeite, so they rushed to buy it even if it was high. Among them, the pair of bracelets in the best condition was won by Song Meiling.
According to common sense, such a legendary bracelet should be widely publicized. However, it is a pity that Brother Xuan searched the whole network, but did not find anything related to Song Meiling's pair of floating flower bracelets**, and its traces are very difficult to find.
Despite this, Brother Xuan still tried his best and only found a pair of "Duan Jiayu bracelets" (pictured) that were scattered among the people.
The surface of this bracelet can clearly see the traces of the old craftsmanship of the ** period, the germplasm is ancient, the floating flowers are smart and elegant, and the quality should be at the middle and upper level at that time. Maybe the Duan Jiayu bracelet in Song Meiling's hand is better, but it's a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to see it with our own eyes.
I am Brother Xuan, follow me, and share my knowledge and experience of jadeite every day.
