First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Caleb Lockwood Doesn’t Want Ellie

"This piece of jewelry is a donation from the renowned BYC master in the fashion world, Ms. Serena Jennings, for this charity auction—a golden phoenix tail hair comb."

As the host introduced, many guests cast admiring glances at Serena Jennings.

Now, almost everyone present knew that Serena Jennings was the renowned BYC master who designed the piano series, so each one eagerly awaited to see what kind of unique jewelry Serena would have designed this time.

"Really? A comb can be considered jewelry?" Lilian Young crossed her arms and couldn’t help but mutter, "And a golden phoenix tail... sounds so tacky. Who in real high society wears gold these days!"

Lilian Young didn’t care whether Serena Jennings was the legendary BYC master or not; she only knew that the auction item designed by Serena just didn’t sound appealing to anyone.

"Surely no one will bid on it, just wait for it to be unsold!"

With Lilian Young ready to see Serena’s work go unsold, on the other side, the staff had already brought out Serena’s donation to the stage.

At the moment she saw the auction item, Lilian Young’s eyes widened.

This charity auction tonight had quite a few jewelry pieces.

For example, a heart-shaped tanzanite necklace inspired by the Heart of the Ocean from the movie "Titanic," a waterfall-style diamond bracelet designed and donated by Peter, and antique watches donated by the top three major watchmakers.

However, those jewelry pieces, while beautiful and luxurious, didn’t have the same eye-catching effect to the present dignitaries as Serena’s design did.

Serena, also known as the BYC master, became a new favorite in the jewelry fashion world precisely because her craftsmanship wasn’t just outstanding, but her design style also had uniquely ingenious creativity, always providing surprises to the nobles who were accustomed to the ordinary jewelry.

Like this comb displayed on the stage.

"This hair comb is made from the latest 5G gold, with a hardness comparable to K gold, with dense and long teeth. It can be used as a comb and also inserted into updos as a hair accessory..."

Listening to the host’s introduction, many guests showed strong interest.

"This hair comb uses a Chinese design concept overall. The comb presents a streamlined phoenix tail, lifelike, with every feather using BYC master’s patent—curved seamless full hidden setting technology, inlaying over a hundred ice-type floating flower jade and mutton fat jade..."

Lilian Young’s eyes couldn’t tear away from the golden phoenix tail comb.

She had never seen such a high-end design for a jewelry comb.

In her imagination, a comb made from gold should be tacky, especially with jade, only suitable for older people.

However, Serena’s design for this comb miraculously combined classical beauty with fashionable elements.

The ice-type floating flower jade was as transparent as ice, lustrous and crystal-clear, matching with the cream-like mutton fat jade, perfectly combining clarity and elegance.

The 5G gold was bright enough, while the ice-type floating flower jade and mutton fat jade added a touch of gentle elegance to this golden comb.

Whether in function, or appearance, even as a collectible, it was flawless.

Lilian Young repeatedly winked at Arthur Lockwood beside her, but unfortunately, Arthur Lockwood didn’t notice.

Yet because this comb was Serena’s auction item, she couldn’t openly express her desire for it.

After the host introduced the comb, the auction began.

"The starting bid, one million US dollars."

"Two million."

Someone immediately started bidding.

"Two hundred ten thousand."

"Two hundred thirty thousand."

"Three million."

Serena listened to the continuous bids, with a knowing smile on her face.

It seemed her designs were popular beyond just the piano series.

"Five million."

Suddenly, the price jumped significantly.

Serena looked at Peter in surprise.

"The gentleman at number 49 bids five million US dollars, five million US dollars for the first time..."

Peter flashed a big smile at Serena, holding up the number 49 sign high.

Serena truly didn’t expect Peter to join the bidding, and to call out such a high price of five million US dollars.

However, just after the first call, Prince William, sitting at the same table as Peter, offered a higher price.

"Six million." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Peter frowned.

"Six hundred ten thousand."
