Chapter 70 What’s being sold is fake

"Okay. Keep your word!" Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

She discovered something wrong when she tried it on just now. The diamond material claimed by this brand was probably zircon.

Because zircon and diamond are very similar in appearance and hardness, but their prices are very different.

Some unscrupulous jewelers will use zircon to pass off as diamond and then sell it at a high price.

As for how to distinguish these two materials, this requires high school physics knowledge.

Jiang Yao told the mall manager: "The internal refractive index of diamonds is very high, and almost no light can penetrate. However, the refractive index of zircon is low, and light can easily penetrate. So, I only need to do an experiment to verify."

Jiang Yao found a piece of white paper and drew a black straight line on the paper with a pen.

Then she picked up two diamond necklaces from the ground and took off the diamond accessories on them.

One diamond is heart-shaped and one diamond is drop-shaped.

Jiang Yao placed the two diamonds on the black line: "See for yourself. Your line of sight should be perpendicular to the surface of the diamonds."

The manager followed her prompts and looked down doubtfully——

"Hey, through these two diamonds, I can see black lines. What does this mean?"

Jiang Yao explained: "If they are real diamonds, the refractive index is high and it is impossible to see the black lines on the paper, so these two are not diamonds at all, but zircons. The Les Mills brand sells fakes."

"This, this..." The manager looked at Jiang Yao in disbelief. The Lais Mills brand is very popular among wealthy ladies in the market. How could it be a fake?

Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, Jiang Yao said: "If you don't believe what I said, go find an expert staff member to verify it."

It’s not that the manager didn’t believe it, he just couldn’t believe it.

This pile of jewelry is worth over one million. If it is really fake, then according to the shopping mall's "10 for every fake" rule, you can't pay tens of millions?

If this matter spreads outside and all the customers who have bought Les Mills brand before come to claim compensation, the consequences will be...

The manager felt a chill behind his back. No, he had to quickly find someone knowledgeable to confirm.

It is also a coincidence that Lais Mills's competitive brand has also opened a counter in the mall. The designer came to visit the store today and heard that the mall was looking for a jewelry expert, so he immediately volunteered to come to the VIP lounge.

"I am the designer of Beatitudes Jewelry. Jewelry appraisal is an introductory course for our designers. Come on, let me see what's going on."

After saying that, the designer took out a special magnifying glass from his handbag and carefully observed the two diamonds that Jiang Yao inspected just now.

As the designer fell silent, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Xiaomei grabbed the corner of her clothes and stared at the designer without blinking. She was beating a gong in her heart. If it was really a fake, would she be implicated?

The mall manager touched the sweat on his forehead and slowly prayed in his heart, but it must not be a fake, otherwise the mall's reputation would be damaged and he would have to pay a lot of money.

The only ones who were not nervous were Jiang Yao and Chen Yanbei.

Chen Yanbei didn't care. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he could afford to spend the money.

Jiang Yao is determined and confident, and this diamond is fake.

Fortunately, the suspense was revealed soon.

The designer of Bafu Jewelry put down the magnifying glass in his hand and came to the same conclusion as Jiang Yao.

——"It's zircon, not diamond."

Then the designer looked at the remaining jewelry on the ground and picked out a diamond ring: "Tsk, tsk, this is a real diamond, but in the pile on the ground, eight out of ten pieces are counterfeit zircons."

"I have long heard that there is a problem with the raw materials of Lais Mills' jewelry, but because there are so many rich and famous ladies supporting it, no one dares to say that Lais Mills is not good. Now someone with a discerning eye has finally discovered it."
