The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

Chapter 64: Homemade Diamond Ring—Infinite Blue

"I just remembered, this thing looks a bit like that necklace from the movie."

"The Heart of the Ocean! Streamer, have you seen Titanic?! The Heart of the Ocean is the coolest thing in it. Is your design based on that one?"

"Everyone, hear me out. I feel like if the streamer can actually make what’s in her sketch, it won’t be any less impressive than the Heart of the Ocean..."

Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "There are definitely similarities. The Heart of the Ocean was conceived as a blue diamond."

"Mine is too. But since I’m making this myself, I’ll give it its own name: Infinite Blue."

Gu Shengsheng continued to address the questions about the Heart of the Ocean.

She said, "The Heart of the Ocean really only exists in the movie. I actually looked it up back then. The director had very high standards, and the prop they used was made from an exquisite tanzanite stone. So it’s no wonder it sparkled so brightly in the film and stunned so many people."

"Ah, I thought the Heart of the Ocean was real. That you could make Big Money if you got it."

"Yeah, when I was a kid and watched that movie, I dreamed that necklace was mine."

"I’m sobbing! Such a romantic necklace isn’t even real. What’s even real in this world anymore? I wanna die."

"’Wanna die’ is a state of mind, I don’t actually want to die. Sorry everyone, I’m not going to kill myself, please don’t worry about me."

"Hahaha, I’m dying! This is the mental state of people on the internet."

Gu Shengsheng found them amusing as well. Usually, the treasure appraisal community was mostly men. But ever since Gu Shengsheng started streaming, she had attracted quite a few women to the industry.

Chatting with the girls now was also very interesting.

"Although the one in the movie wasn’t the real Heart of the Ocean, the Heart of the Ocean itself was based on a real diamond, called the ’Hope’ Diamond."

"It’s not just called the Hope Diamond; it also has another name: the ’Cursed Diamond.’ That’s because it was involved in too many major disasters and has a long history, witnessing the deaths and departures of so many people. But it’s so deep, so blue, so beautiful. It seems to have grown even more beautiful with the passage of time."

"That diamond was stolen long ago. It might resurface in a few years."

People who have appraised many treasures have seen it all. Many artifacts disappear for a while, only to eventually reappear.

Letting nature take its course is for the best.

Listening to Gu Shengsheng’s story, the guys and girls in the chat forgot what they were doing.

"Streamer! Hurry up and get to work! We’ll supervise you. We won’t chat with you anymore."

"We’ll entertain ourselves for a bit. You do your thing."

"I really want to see just how awesome this Infinite Blue of yours is."

"The whole internet is watching, you know! Don’t you dare back out!"

"..."

Gu Shengsheng nodded. Her channel was getting more and more fans, and they were always arguing about something or other. She couldn’t even keep up with all the comments, so she just decided to ignore it.

’If I just let things slide for a day, anything can blow over. If one day isn’t enough, then make it two.’

Gu Shengsheng quickly immersed herself in making the ring band.

The viewers watched, their opinions divided.

"I mean, this isn’t something just anyone can do, right? The fact that our streamer can appraise treasures is already incredible. If she can do this too, how are other professionals supposed to make a living?"

"The main thing is, our streamer is just raising the bar too high. Even if she can’t do it perfectly, if she just manages to make something, I’ll still give her a thumbs-up. After all, our streamer is willing to learn anything."

"Everyone, I have faith the streamer can do it. A woman’s sixth sense."

"We’ll see when it’s done. This is my first time watching someone make a ring online. It’s pretty novel."

Gu Shengsheng worked slowly, step by step. She started by drawing a pattern on the material. Just then, she suddenly looked at the camera.

She asked, "Oh, right. For the top ten viewers on the popularity ranking today, send me your ring sizes. I’ll make a ring for each of you."

"Consider it a little bonus."

She was always busy. Since her hands were already warmed up and she had extra materials, she decided to make some for her fans on the side.

Hearing about such a great giveaway, how could the viewers pass it up? They immediately started fighting it out in the stream. Their method of combat was to spam Gu Shengsheng with gifts.

She wondered why no DMs had come in yet, only to realize everyone was spamming the chat with gifts. In just a few seconds, she had received 500,000 in donations.

’Wait...’

’I was just trying to do a giveaway!’ She quickly turned off the gift function.

She said, "Alright, the top ten people in the screenshot I just took are the winners. I’ll give out other gifts next time, so please don’t waste your money sending me donations."

"I hope the stream brings everyone happiness, and that you can all keep a lonely soul like me company," Gu Shengsheng explained.

The viewers: "Wait, so when the streamer said her husband died... that was for real, right...?"

"Probably. ’A lonely soul.’"

"Oh my god! That’s kind of heartbreaking."

"..."

They supervised the entire process. One moment Gu Shengsheng was sawing the material, the next she was using a soldering torch to weld the ring.

They thought watching the whole process was insane enough, but what Gu Shengsheng did next was even more mind-blowing: she started cutting the diamond directly.

At first, she was scribbling calculations on a piece of paper. Some knowledgeable viewers pointed out that she was calculating the cutting angles.

A diamond can have 64 facets, many of which are tiny. Keeping them a uniform size and polishing them without wasting the stone is incredibly difficult. For the audience watching the stream, they could see it was just a tiny speck of a diamond.

To have to carve a shape on something so small... it was simply... impossible!

And yet, Gu Shengsheng did it.

She worked continuously for about seven hours, well into the evening. Gu Shengsheng had assumed no one in her stream would have the stamina to keep watching.

Because while this sort of work sounded impressive, in practice, it consisted entirely of tedious, repetitive actions.

Gu Shengsheng finished it all in one go, only to find she had gained 100,000 new followers.

She said with some surprise, "You all can go grab a bite to eat. I’m almost done, I just need to polish it."

As she spoke, Gu Shengsheng sprinkled polishing powder onto the wheel and placed the diamond in it to tumble...

Finally, she set the diamond onto the band. The pattern on the band was the one she had drawn, and its intricate details were perfectly identical to her original sketch.

The finished piece appeared before the viewers’ eyes, taking them completely by surprise.

Everyone was at a loss for words.

It wasn’t just the outsiders who were shocked; even the industry insiders watching her stream found it unbelievable.

This Gu Shengsheng... the piece she created could rival the work of a master jeweler with over a decade of design experience.

"Listen to me, everyone. That ring is definitely a money-maker. I can tell it’s profitable just by looking at the screen."

"A master craftsman from Tiffany’s would feel ashamed watching this. I just used a VPN and saw someone post a screenshot of the stream. He made a post on Instagram saying it’s impossible for anyone to be skilled enough to make this ring in seven hours."
