Chapter 753 Helmet
Several girls competed to look at the bracelet, and Selina asked, "Brother Chu, what kind of bracelet is this? It doesn't look like it was made recently, it can't be an antique?"

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "This kind of bracelet is called a set of seven, and it is made of cloisonné. And what you said is correct. These bracelets are indeed not produced recently, but they are not antiques, and such old cloisonne bracelets They are basically out of production now, and this set of bracelets is from the previous stock..."

The early cloisonne bracelet handicrafts were all of a very similar shape, without openings. They should follow the characteristics of jade bracelets. Generally, they were made of relatively simple enamel paintings on copper tires with cylindrical rows. Such cloisonne The bracelets look very delicate and classic.

The reason why such a set of bracelets is called a set of seven is because a set of such small bracelets is composed of seven.

Speaking of which, modern cloisonne bracelets are roughly divided into two types according to their raw materials, one is made of copper tires and the other is made of alloy tires.There are also two kinds of materials on the bracelet, one is ordinary enamel glaze, and the other is a resin material.

The cloisonné bracelets made now rarely use copper tires.One is because of the high production cost, and the other is that it is much more complicated to produce, so most of the current copper bracelets are the stock of the previous factory, such as the set of seven that Chu Chen gave to Mina, it is the old craft, the tire is still Copper tire.

Alloy tires are very common, and most of them are machine-made tires, which are much more economical in terms of cost and workmanship.In addition, if the enamel glaze is used, it still needs to be fired, and the cloisonne bracelet made of resin reduces the firing process, and only needs to wait for the material to solidify.

As for which one you like, copper tires or alloys, it depends on your personal preference.Of course, since it was a gift for others, all the items Chu Chen chose were made of solid materials and well-crafted. They looked a bit old, but after a little wiping with a cloth, they immediately exuded a charming luster.

After listening to Chu Chen's introduction, the girls felt that they had increased their knowledge, and at the same time they couldn't put it down.

Because Chu Chen bought the bracelet after asking Wu Ke about the size of Mina's hand in advance, and Mina also liked the color and pattern of this bracelet very much, after wearing it, she was reluctant to take it off.

Selina looked at Chu Chen eagerly, and asked weakly, "Brother Chu, do I have any presents?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Of course yours is also indispensable!"

"Is it also a bracelet like this?" Selina asked excitedly.

"Yes! Wait a moment, I'll go upstairs to get the present..."

With Chu Chen's confirmation, both Selina and Josie seemed very excited. After a while, Josie thought of the previous incident, and asked Wu Ke next to her, "Ellie, what did you give us before?" You measure your wrists because you want to buy us bracelets, right?"

"Yes, otherwise, what if it is not suitable to buy?" Wu Ke replied with a smile.

"Ellie, you are so mean, why didn't you tell us about this earlier? No, I have to punish you..." Saying that, Selina went up to tickle Wu Ke.

"Hee hee! If... if I told... you guys in advance, then... there would be no such surprise..."

While Wu Ke was talking, he resisted and counterattacked, and the room kept laughing and laughing for a while.

Chu Chen's movements were also very quick. In a short while, he walked back with his things. At this time, Selina was still caring about playing with Wu Ke, and directly rushed towards Chu Chen. Chen thought he had met a female pervert.

Selina and Josie's seven sets are as exquisite as Mina's. They are best friends after all, and under such circumstances, it is impossible for Chu Chen to do that kind of favoritism.

Seeing that the three girls had their own bracelets, and Kelly next to her was also full of envy. Seeing this, Mina pleaded for her: "Chu, can you help Kelly choose a set like this?" bracelet?"

Kelly beside him quickly said, "Chu, don't worry, I will pay for it."

Although the bracelets that Chu Chen selected were high-quality goods, they were not difficult to find for him, so he agreed with a smile.

"Chu, can I ask first, how much do these seven bracelets cost?" Kelly asked a little shyly.

Chu Chen replied: "It's not expensive, probably less than a hundred pounds."

Of course, this is the price he went to get. If it is in the market, such a very well-made old cloisonne set of seven bracelets like the one he chose cannot be bought at this price.

Kelly also heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that it was less than one hundred pounds. However, she also knew that this price should not be the market price, so she quickly expressed her gratitude to Chu Chen.

Seeing her best friend, who was not worried about money, behave like this now, Mina felt very uncomfortable. At this time, she saw the box in Kelly's hand, and quickly reacted.

"Chu, Kaili's father's business is in some difficulties now. She brought some antiques over this time. Can you help me take a look?"

For Chu Chen, the appraisal is completely a matter of parenthood, so he agreed without thinking about it: "Okay, no problem! But I have more experience with our Chinese antiques, not necessarily those from other countries."
The box in Kelly's hand was not small, but when she opened it, she found out that most of the inside was already occupied by a rusty-looking helmet.

"I brought all the antiques from your country this time. My father has always been obsessed with Dongwen culture, so he usually likes to buy some antiques from your country. However, because of his limited level, he sometimes bought fakes. However, These few things are selected by my father, and I would like to ask Mr. Chu to take a look and evaluate the price. Please tell me the specific cost."

Chu Chen smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "Since you are Mina's friend, then it's free this time, but if I like something, I hope you can transfer it to me. What do you think?"

"Yes!" For Kaili, as long as the price given by Chu Chen is fair, who is it not selling to?And since she asked Chu Chen to appraise it, she originally intended to sell the item to Chu Chen. Now that Chu Chen said so, of course she would not object.

Seeing that Kelly agreed, Chu Chen took out the helmet from the box first. This helmet was in the style of the Warring States Period. At first glance, he thought it was very good. After careful inspection, he judged based on experience that the material of the helmet should be It is real, and the green rust on it is also naturally generated, no matter where you look at it, you can't tell it's fake.

However, no matter how Chu Chen looked at it, he felt that this helmet was a bit weird, but he couldn't see what the problem was for a while.

At this time, Kelly introduced from the side: "Mr. Chu, this helmet is my father's favorite thing. After he bought it, he followed the seller's advice and never removed the rust. Otherwise, he should have it every day." Put it on..."

Chu Chen couldn't figure out what was wrong at first, but when he heard this, he immediately reacted, and then he quickly observed it carefully, and finally sighed.

Seeing Chu Chen sigh, Mina quickly asked, "Chu, why are you sighing? Is there something wrong with this helmet?"

After hesitating for a while, Chu Chen also knew that what he said was vague, and Kelly and the others probably couldn't understand, so he said directly and clearly: "Kelly, I'm sorry, this helmet is fake."

"what?"

After hearing such a reply, Kelly was stunned for a moment, and when she recovered, she said with a displeased face:

"Impossible, my father said, after he bought it, he went to scientific appraisal, the material of this helmet is real!"

In fact, the reason why Kelly came to Chu Chen for appraisal was because Mina strongly recommended her, and on the other hand, she also considered that the cultural relics she brought were all Chinese cultural relics. If Chu Chen bought them, the price should be better.

But when she saw that Chu Chen was so young, she somewhat doubted whether Chu Chen was as outstanding as Mina.Now when Chu Chen said that the helmet she brought was fake, she was even more disappointed and dissatisfied. If she hadn't felt impolite, she would have packed up her things and left now.

Mina also understands and understands Kelly's thoughts, she quickly smoothed things over and said: "Kelly, since Chu said it is fake, there is always a reason, you should first listen to his reason for saying so !"

"Chu, can you tell me the reason?" Kelly is not an unreasonable person, so she suppressed the anger in her heart and planned to listen to Chu Chen's explanation first. I will ask Chu Chen to help identify it again.

Chu Chen also understood Kelly's mood, and this helmet was made using high-tech methods that came out in recent years. If it didn't leave a very big loophole, he would be able to wear it without using the ability. It may not be possible to find out immediately.

So, he said: "Kelly, one thing, you are indeed right. Most of this helmet is indeed made of real materials."

Hearing what Chu Chen said, everyone was a little confused. Since the materials used to make it are real, how could the helmet be fake?
Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Chu Chen said, "Let me say something first, do you think this helmet is a bit small? I don't think you can wear such a small helmet, right?"

After hearing what Chu Chen said, everyone looked at the helmet again, and found that the size of the helmet was really the same as what Chu Chen said, but smaller.Wu Ke compared it with the helmet of the Warring States period that he had seen in the museum before, and found that it was much smaller.

Afterwards, Selina picked up the head thief and compared it to herself. Of course, the helmet was covered with copper rust and looked dirty, and she would not really put it on her head if she loved cleaning.
