Last week's free treasure appraisal event was held at Erqi Plaza in Zhengzhou Hualian. It coincided with various "3ยท15" consumer rights protection activities being held enthusiastically in malls. Some citizens who were shopping at Zhengzhou Hualian over the weekend also took out their jewelry for experts to appraise.
The most popular item was an emerald ring, with a deep green emerald and 18 diamonds embedded around it, including one fluorescent diamond. The expert valued it at 1.8 million yuan. A piece of jade that seemed to be a fine Hetian jade was actually common Jingbai jade, leaving the collector disappointed and several thousand yuan poorer.
