The bare stone is not outstanding, but the finished product is beautiful! Golden green cat's eye, you can not miss the high cost performance treasure

In the colorful and sparkling gem family, some brothers and sisters can capture people's hearts just by looking at their own appearance, but some gemstones are not very popular, quite "ugly duckling" meaning! It wasn't until one day, when a magical fairy (actually a jewelry designer) lifted their seal, that people realized, "Wow! Turns out it was a white swan! ”

Golden Green Cat's Eye is such a existence! It is one of the five precious treasures and is the only authentic opal that can be called "cat's eye" alone, rather than a gemstone with a "cat's eye effect".

Yes, the precious gems of "cat's eye" that you read in many books refer to the golden green cat's eye. There are actually many legends about it, and the emperors use it to channel some mysterious power, divination war auspiciousness, and power tendencies. From ancient Egypt and India, to Britain, and even China, it has its presence on the banks of the emperors. It is looming in history, but in the end it is not as popular as red and blue treasure. Queen Victoria's third son, the Duke of Connaught, presented a cat's eye gemstone ring as an engagement ring to Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, and the cat's eye gemstone once again entered the field of vision.

The American Museum of Natural History's collection is a premium opal of 47.8 carats

Auctioned for HK$11.86 million at the 2011 Hong Kong auction, it is one of the top opals in the world

Maybe many people don't know it yet,

Golden Green Cat's Eye is a commemorative gem of the 55-year golden wedding! 55 years, in this fast food era, it is really a beautiful love that has lasted for a long time!

However, although opal is one of the five precious treasures, it is not outstanding among the many colorful and dazzling treasures.

Only when the opal is processed into an arc shape, the dense vertical parallel arrangement of the gem's interior, strongly reflective inclusions can produce concentrated reflections on the incident light, and a band of light parallel to the arc surface of the gem will produce a "cat's eye" effect.

This also cut off its relationship with the gem cutter, determining that its brilliance cannot be displayed by the cutting process.

The more opaque the emerald, the denser the rutile filamentous inclusion, and the more pronounced the "cat's eye effect". This is also the first prerequisite for judging the quality of a cat's eye gemstone. What makes it more special is that when irradiated with a spotlight, at a certain angle, half of the light appears yellow, while the other half appears milky white. If you use two spotlights to illuminate the cat's eye from two directions, and rotate the gem back and forth in the direction of the filamentous inclusion at the same time, you can see that the eyeliner opens and closes for a while. Legend has it that the pharaohs of ancient Egypt used the opening and closing of the cat's eye jewel eyeliner to appoint the rank of minister and decide whether to go on a campaign.

The best color for opal is a very strong golden green brownish yellow and honey yellow, followed by green, and again slightly dark brown. Gem collectors are generally recognized as the best opal eyeliner with narrow, well-defined lines, and located in the very center of the gemstone.

The world's most famous opal, mainly produced in places like Tranabula and Gaul in southwest Sri Lanka, Marco Polo described one of sri Lanka's kings' opal as "an incomparable gemstone" long before the seventh century! During the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, there are records of Sri Lanka offering opals to the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty. Sri Lankan opal quality and reputation have been around since ancient times, and have become a veritable "lion country".

However, under the guidance of the rules of the gem market, although the golden and green cat's eye is a precious treasure, the price has not been coaxed all the way, but it seems to be forgotten, secretly shining in its own corner.

In the 2014 Tiancheng International Jewelry Auction, the highest price was HK$6.372 million

In 2015, Sotheby's Hong Kong won the auction for $1.625 million

But out of the competition of the naked stone world, under the wisdom and ingenuity of the Bó Lè designers, the golden and green cat's eye has already opened up its own track in the jewelry industry.
