Last week's free treasure appraisal event was held at Erqi Plaza in Zhengzhou Hualian. Coinciding with the vigorous "3ยท15" consumer rights protection activities being held in various shopping malls, some citizens who were out shopping at Zhengzhou Hualian over the weekend also took out their jewelry for the experts to appraise.

The most popular item was an emerald ring, with a deep green emerald surrounded by 18 diamonds, one of which was a fluorescent diamond. The experts valued it at 1.8 million yuan. What seemed to be a fine piece of Hetian jade turned out to be ordinary Jingbai jade, leaving the collector disappointed and several thousand yuan poorer.
