A wide array of coloured gemstones and fancy colour diamonds are expected to command attention at Bonhams' upcoming Rare Jewels and Jadeite sale in Hong Kong on May 27.

Headlining the lots is a 4.01-carat Pigeon's Blood Burmese ruby and diamond ring, which is valued at HK$3.5 million to HK$5 million or around US$445,000 to US$635,000. The ring is accompanied by reports from leading gemmological laboratories.

Another highlight of the sale is an 8.56-carat no-oil Colombian emerald and diamond ring with a pre-sale estimate of HK$5 million to HK$6 million or around US$635,000 to US$765,000.

Bonhams Asia Director of Jewelry Graeme Thompson commented, "The market has experienced the biggest price increases for emeralds and rubies which respectively have seen a 1,900 percent price increase for emeralds and a 1,100 percent increase for rubies in the past 10 years."

The sale will also feature a 12.92-carat Kashmir sapphire, which was recently discovered in a bank vault. The ring is estimated to fetch between HK$950,000 and HK$4 million or about US$120,000 to US$510,000.

"Kashmir sapphires are the rarest of gemstones and collectors are prepared to pay princely sums for top-quality specimens. Sapphires have experienced a 970 percent price increase over the past decade," noted Thompson.

A collection of rare fancy colour diamonds, including a 10.03-carat oval-cut fancy brown-pink diamond valued at HK$3.1 million to HK$5 million (around US$395,000 to US$636,000), will also be auctioned off.

Signed jewellery pieces from Van Cleef and Arpels, Cartier, Harry Winston, Graff, Chopard and Bulgari are also on the auction block, note the company.

橙粉紅色的蓮花剛玉(Padparadscha)鑽石墜鍊，可作火屬寶石的代表。

在五術的學問裡，寶石有時也被當作風水之石。本文將就我國部分傳統數術中的本命卦搭配紫白飛星，來建議2018年的寶石配戴方法與種類。

 

以命掛選擇配戴寶石 好運天天來

　本命卦，簡稱為命卦，是依照一個人的農曆出生年分換算成命宮八卦的理論，所以每個人出生，都會被賦予一個先天的命卦，根據這個資訊，或許能夠用來調節自身的運勢。以下為1924年～2022年各年出生的命卦表。出生的日期，若是在農曆年前，則要以前一年的資料為準。

 

男女出生年分命卦對照表。

 

 

　命掛中的坎、離、震、巽為一組，稱為東四命；另外的乾、坤、兌、艮，則為西四命。大致將人類分作2部分。在寶石配戴的建議上，東四命的人，可能適合屬水、屬火及屬木的寶石；西四命的人，可能較適合屬金及屬土的寶石。

　

　五行屬金的寶石，顏色為白色。建議配戴的寶石為白鑽石、羊脂白玉、白水晶、白玉髓、硨磲、銀飾品等。

　

　五行屬木的寶石，顏色為綠色及棕色。建議配戴的寶石為綠色鑽石、祖母綠、綠色翡翠、沙弗萊石、橄欖石、台灣玉等。

 

　五行屬水的寶石，顏色為藍色、黑色。建議配戴的寶石為藍鑽石、藍寶石、綠色翡翠、台灣藍寶、丹泉石、藍色碧璽、海水藍寶、青金石、黑曜石等。

 

　五行屬火的寶石，顏色為紅色、橙色、紫色。建議配戴的寶石為紅寶石、蓮花剛玉、紅珊瑚、紅尖晶石、紅榴石、紅寶碧璽、紫水晶、粉晶等。

 

　五行屬土的寶石，顏色為黃色。建議配戴的寶石為黃鑽石、黃色剛玉、黃水晶、金綠貓眼、琥珀、黃色碧璽、鈦金水晶、黃金等。

 

2018求財運 可選擇五行屬木寶石

　另一個可以參考的寶石配戴種類依據則為九宮飛星。地上九宮的位置是固定的，但是每年的九星都會進入不同的宮位。每顆星自帶吉凶，和各個宮位的交互作用，恰如人事更迭。所以能夠逐年予人適合的吉凶建議。

　今年，若是對於錢財運勢比較有期待的，可以參看八白左輔，在巽木宮，所以建議配戴和木屬相關的寶石；想要增強事業上的運勢，則要參看六白武曲，在坤土宮，故建議選擇屬土的寶石；而健康方面，則是要看一白貪狼，位在乾金宮，所以可以屬金的寶石為主；如要增添考試運氣，則須參照四綠文曲，居離火宮，故建議配戴火屬性的寶石。由九宮飛星計算出來的結論，若能和命卦的結果重合，在命理學觀點上將有加成的效應。

This jadeite bangle was the highlight piece of the Sotheby's Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite auction, but failed to find a buyer on Tuesday.

April 4, 2018

Hong Kong--Though Sotheby's called it a "highly important" piece, the "Circle of Heaven" jadeite bangle didn't find a buyer in Hong Kong. 

The rare bangle was expected to sell for $10.2 to $12.8 million at the Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite sale on Tuesday but failed to reach the reserve price. 

The auction house described the piece as having a full, emerald-green color with "fine texture." It was named as such for its circular form and for the ancient Chinese belief that jade is the "stone of heaven."

When contacted by National Jeweler for comment, a Sotheby's spokesperson said that while the jewelry and diamond markets continue to "enjoy solid support" across price tiers, the jadeite market remains price sensitive. 

Some of the other notable lots sitting at the top of the pre-auction estimates didn't sell, including an unmounted D color, flawless brilliant-cut diamond weighing 17.63 carats, expected to sell for up to $2.8 million; a signed Monture Cartier ring featuring a 14.72-carat step-cut Colombian emerald and brilliant-cut diamonds that Sotheby's thought could sell for up to $1.4 million; and a ring with a 14.18-carat step-cut fancy blue diamond with pink-tinted brilliant-cut diamonds, expected to go for between $5.9 and $7.6 million. 

The top lot of the sale turned out to be a ring, pictured below, featuring a cushion-shaped Burmese ruby weighing 24.70 carats, set within a surround of pear-shaped diamonds. The shank is pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds with a pink tint. 

It garnered $11 million, falling within its pre-sale range estimate.

After that, there was a large gap between the No. 1 lot and those that followed. 

Falling at No. 2 was a pair of earrings featuring pear-shaped diamonds weighing 13.01 and 12.97 carats hanging from surmounts with 1.03- and 1.01-carat diamonds. They sold for $3 million. 

There also was a 30.16-carat cut-cornered rectangular step-cut fancy vivid yellow diamond ring that went for $2.8 million and a 5.01-carat cushion-shaped fancy vivid purplish pink diamond with shield-shaped diamond shoulders that sold for $2.5 million. 

A ring with a square emerald-cut fancy vivid orangey-yellow diamond weighing 10.30 carats set between two tapered baguette diamonds garnered $1.4 million. 

Tuesday's Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite auction sales totaled $48.6 million. For all results, visit Sothebys.com.

 台北市一名曾姓已婚男美髮師，前年為追求店內另名姿色頗佳的莊姓女美髮師，曾男趁著吃飯約會時，一口氣送了3只鑽石戒指，合計重達3克拉，女方又驚又喜， 曾男還秀出離婚判決、刑案傳票，證明已和妻吵架離婚。不料女方將鑽石拿去銀樓鑑定，發現3克拉鑽戒竟是玻璃，隨後上網查出曾男出示判決書也是偽造的，當場 氣炸怒提告。台北地檢署日前依偽造公文書電磁紀錄罪將曾男起訴，最重可處7年徒刑。
 
據了解，年約20多歲的曾男外型帥氣，但由於和莊女 共事，雙方互有好感，雖然莊女知道曾男已婚，但兩人仍發展出曖昧情誼，前年間曾男某次約會吃飯時，一口氣拿出3只鑽戒，分別是0.5、1和1.5克拉，為 了取信女美髮師，隔天又將鑽戒的GIA認證書LINE給莊女，讓莊女心花怒放，以為遇到真愛。
 
但兩人交往後，莊女多次要求曾男離婚，曾男卻不願和妻子撕破臉，又想保有和莊女的感情，因此前年4月至7月間陸續傳送記載自己名字的地檢署傳票和法院傳票給莊女，宣稱遭妻子控告離婚等案，之後又傳送離婚判決書，宣稱已和妻子離婚。
 
也 許是女人的第六感靈驗，莊女始終覺得這些事情不太尋常，因此私下到銀樓鑑定鑽戒價值，銀樓老闆端詳後，竟告知鑽戒是假的，材質根本只是玻璃。莊女再上網搜 尋判決書照片，竟又發現曾男提供的判決畫面，竟與網路流傳的照片一樣，只是被告名字不同，就連律師等資料都相同，才驚覺感情受騙，憤而提告。
 
曾男出庭時，坦承鑽戒的GIA證明書是他去網路下載的，而判決書和傳票則是上網搜尋後再修圖成自己的名字，希望莊女能原諒她，雙方調解後，莊女雖撤告，但曾男涉及的偽造文書罪屬於公訴罪，檢方因此繼續偵辦。

調查後檢方認為，鑽石只是贈與，即便不實也不構成詐欺，但曾男偽造判決和傳票等公文書，甚至將地檢署傳票改成離婚案件，內行人都看得出來檢方不處理離婚案件，認為曾男手段假得離譜，並涉犯偽造公文書罪，日前將曾男起訴。（吳珮如／台北報導）

April 2, 2018

Carlsbad, Calif.--The Gemological Institute of America's New York lab recently had a gemstone submitted for identification it hasn't seen before. 

According to an article by Tyler Smith and Hollie McBride in the winter 2017 issue of "Gems & Gemology," the lab received two loose oval mixed-cut red gems for identification. Upon testing, the stones revealed refractive indices slightly higher than normal for corundum.

Higher refractive indices have been reported before for chromium-diffused corundum, in which extra chromium is added during heating to enhance the color. So, the article states, to the naked eye, the stones simply appeared to be chromium diffused and displayed red color concentrations at the intersections of the facets. 

But further microscopic examination revealed a thin layer, about 0.3 mm thick, of "synthetic overgrowth"—a layer of lab-grown ruby that gave the stone its color—with a natural, almost-colorless sapphire at the core. 

The authors said the two stones looked similar to Lechleitner synthetic overgrowth emeralds, named for Johann Lechleitner, who pioneered the process of giving a near-colorless beryl seed its green color with a synthetic emerald overgrowth in 1960. (The GIA's lab in Carlsbad, coincidentally, received a Lechleitner emerald for identification around the same time the rubies were submitted.)

Lechleitner also experimented with ruby overgrowth on both synthetic and natural corundum seeds. 

While his specimens contained a number of elements, the two rubies submitted to the GIA were missing one—molybdenum—indicating there were different growth conditions present, according to the G&G article. 

It noted that while this isn't the first report of synthetic ruby overgrowth on natural sapphire seeds, it is the first time material featuring such aspects has been submitted to its New York and Carlsbad laboratories for identification.

"The resurfacing of these vintage overgrowth synthetics shows that once a material is in the trade, it is here to stay," Smith and McBride said.
