After a while, Ophelia got into Turin''s car. They needed to prepare something for next week''s engagement ceremony, such as an engagement ring.
In fact, the frequency of engagement rings in this society is not high. The spending power of the working class limits their expenses in engagement. Most of them will use wedding rings to replace engagement rings at the engagement ceremony, and then wear them again at the wedding ceremony.
However, the nobility is a rigid group. They always don''t know how to adapt to many things. Of course, it is also possible that this constant communication is one of the ways to show their differences in this society without nobility and class. Then some things in the engagement ceremony are particularly important.
For example, this engagement ring is not used for most Betrothals.
There are many jewelry stores in the imperial capital, some of which are only open to the nobility. Most of the operators of these jewelry stores have served the nobility for several generations, or even longer. They have become a special service class that is not noble class, but higher than the civilian class.
Serving the nobility has improved their social status, which is also the basis of their survival. Therefore, even if they enter a new era and a new society, they will still not be open to ordinary people.
This time they went to such a jewelry store. The door was small and hung the statue and signboard of the founder. After they pushed the door in, it was not as luxurious as those jewelry stores open to the public. On the contrary, it seemed a little simple.
Display cabinets are hung on the three walls, and there are not many special jewelry displays in them. An old craftsman sits behind the counter. When the door bell rings, he immediately stands up and welcomes him out, "dear guests, welcome to Osborne jewelry store. What kind of service do you two need?"
There is a small sofa set for sitting and talking in the room. After Dolin and Ophelia sit down, Dolin says, "we need an engagement ring for the engagement ceremony. They say I can get what I need here."
The old man leaned slightly. At this time, the weather was very hot. Even if there was a cold circulation system in the room and the temperature in the room was 2345 degrees, he wore a complete set of regular clothes. There were four sets inside and outside, and his hair was combed meticulously. The bright scalp outside the hair line of the retreat could reflect the brilliant decoration on the ceiling.
"This is the recognition of my distinguished guests. Mr. durin and Miss Ophelia, please look at this album first..." he took out two albums from one side of the cabinet and handed them to them. Now the whole imperial capital has bought one. The central and northern parts of the Empire are discussing the marriage. It''s impossible to know these two people, Not to mention that Turin spent $10 million on an angel charity fund, which made Ophelia the envy of many women in the Empire.
Durin opened the album given to him by the shopkeeper. There were many kinds of engagement rings. The ring bodies of these rings were different. The only similarity was those huge gemstones.
The word "giant" is very accurate. In these albums, the gem on the smallest engagement ring is as big as a quail egg, and it is also famous on that page. This is the ring used by an imperial viscount and a noble lady when they were engaged on a certain day, a certain month, a certain year.
If you look big, there are also some rings ordered by the Duke. Each gem is the size of an egg. Turin is a little curious. Won''t you be tired wearing this thing?
He glanced at Ophelia, who was in high spirits, and felt that he should not be tired.
After reading many pages, they put down the album. In fact, the things on it are very beautiful, but almost most of them are customized by others, which is not very good. It also makes them a little strange. Why take out such a album.
At this time, the shopkeeper who waited quietly for a long time explained, "the engagement rings in these albums come from our shop. While letting you know the history of our shop, we also give you a deep understanding of the engagement ring. Next, we will tailor a most suitable engagement ring for the beautiful lady according to your needs."
Then there was a painting class. Turin and Ophelia asked, and then the shopkeeper quickly painted it and modified it. Finally, after about 40 minutes of modification, the style of the engagement ring was finally decided.
The ring body will be made of platinum and gold to form the outline of the leaves of the love tree. It is a unique plant produced in the south of the Empire. In fact, this plant is not "one" or "one", but naturally developed from two completely different plants.
Some biologists have revealed the essence of love tree - an ordinary plant plus a parasitic plant, which can not be associated with love.
However, the market does not accept this truth. People are more willing to believe that this is a special plant that can only exist in both. Without either party, the other will wither quickly. They are also willing to believe that people''s love will be intertwined forever like this love tree, regardless of the other.
The ring will be inlaid with a colorful gem, which is made of six different colored gemstones bonded and polished by a special process. In the words of the owner, this engagement ring symbolizes colorful and beautiful love.
To this end, Du Lin needs to pay 30000 yuan for customization. Love is really a luxury!
Since the engagement rings are made in this house, the wedding rings and a series of supporting accessories are also made in this house.
More than an hour later, Du Lin stood at the door of the store and couldn''t help looking back. In less than two hours, the jewelry store robbed nearly 200000 in the name of love. He had an illusion that he had been robbed?
Of course, this money has no deep feeling for Ophelia, because the dignity of aristocrats is often reflected in details. They can''t swagger through the market with three or five gold chains.
However, in some details that are often ignored, there are trinkets worth tens of kilograms of gold, which show the noble identity of the wearer in a low-key way.
As the shopkeeper said, wedding rings need low-key luxury. Marriage life is like this, which is closer to the essence. In order to wear the wedding ring on different occasions without being too abrupt, it is natural to wear a series of jewelry that can set off each other with the wedding ring on your finger.
As big as a brooch and as small as a cuff link, each Trinket needs terrible design costs for the same style, the same style and the same art source.
Why are there so many people in the Royal College all the time, because knowledge can really sell for money!
The next time became happy and leisurely. Turin took Ophelia to an amusement park.
Since Dooling became popular in the film theme amusement park in Zone 8, amusement parks around the world have added "theme", from car theme amusement park to call theme amusement park. In short, tourists now eat this set very much.
There is also a theme amusement park in DIDU, but it has no serious theme. On the contrary, it is very happy, because this amusement park is controlled by Dulin.
After the success of the film theme amusement park in area 8, he immediately bought a piece of land outside the imperial capital for the construction of the amusement park, which has nothing to do with massiness, but some relaxed things.
This is Ophelia''s first visit to the amusement park. She can''t wait just standing at the door. Turin looks at her with sympathy. Being born in a big family may not be all good, but there are also sad things.
"Can we... Go in and play for a while?" Ophelia thought Dooling was just passing by. She begged pitifully, "just a minute!"
Aristocrats are very strict with girls who are not adults. For civilians, children are adults when they are 16, but girls in aristocrats are adults when they are 20, even if they have completed the adult ceremony at the age of 16.
In fact, this kind of strict and inhumane attitude stems from the fact that there are always several noble ladies with little brains and civilians running away in history. This "scandal" that destroys the family style has seriously damaged the dignity and image of the nobles, so before the age of 20, you want to go to places with many people and play with the peace people?
ha-ha!
Durin looked at his watch and then nodded. "Of course, it''s the responsibility of every gentleman to make a beautiful girl happy."
"Great, you''re the best!" Ophelia waved her forearm excitedly. She took Turin and broke into the amusement park, then shuttled through various large amusement machines and watched a group of people scream excitedly.
If someone asks you if you want to find excitement, it doesn''t mean that your behavior is impolite or that the other party wants to beat you. He just wants to ask you if you want to go to the amusement park.
You tell him: "yes, that''s what I think. Do you also want to find stimulation", so that the other party can understand your real intention and avoid misunderstanding.
Spending money to find excitement is the most attractive part of the amusement park. There are screams everywhere from the beginning of entering the park, which makes Ophelia nervously hold Turin''s hand and look around like a little squirrel. Take a look at this and that.
After a bloodless experience of a pirate ship, Ophelia felt that it might not be as fun as she imagined. It was terrible!
"You know what? My hair flew up just now. It''s terrible. Why is there such a game here?" she patted her beating chest. "My heart is about to jump out!"
Durin said with some regret, "your clothes are blocked. I can''t see."
Ophelia was stunned for a moment, took a girl''s thousands of customs, glared at Du Lin angrily, and ran out laughing.
