钻石光芒减淡 彩色宝石成新宠
<p>在过去八年中，红宝石和蓝宝石的价格增长速度超过了钻石，这一现象反映出彩色宝石在全球日益流行的趋势。究其原因，一方面可能是因为彩色宝石的价格相对低廉，人们可以承受得起；而另一个重要的原因，或许是越来越多的女性消费者开始为自己购置宝石饰物，因为受到安吉丽娜•朱莉和凯特王妃等名人的影响，彩色宝石往往会成为她们的首选。安吉丽娜•朱莉是绿宝石的忠实用户，而凯特王妃手上一直戴着戴安娜王妃留下来的那枚蓝宝石戒指。钻石制造商公司的创始人表示，2010年以来，彩色宝石的需求量增长了三倍，相比之下钻石的销量下降了。他认为这是女性主导市场的表现。他指出，购买珠宝对男人来说通常是一种望而生畏的经历，他们往往连戒指的码数都不知道，而女性非常清楚自己想要什么，她们有时甚至会要求将戒指上的钻石换成彩色宝石。</p><p><span word="Over">Over</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="past">past</span> <span word="eight">eight</span> <span word="years">years</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="price">price</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="rubies">rubies</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="sapphires">sapphires</span> <span word="appears">appears</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="increased">increased</span> <span word="faster">faster</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="diamonds">diamonds</span>.</p><p><span word="Coloured">Coloured</span> <span word="stones">stones</span> <span word="are">are</span>, <span word="of">of</span> <span word="course">course</span>, <span word="much">much</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="affordable">affordable</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="pricier">pricier</span>, <span word="harder">harder</span>, <span word="relatives">relatives</span>.</p><p><span word="And">And</span> <span word="millions">millions</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="people">people</span>, <span word="especially">especially</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Asia">Asia</span>, <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="buy">buy</span> <span word="them">them</span>.</p><p><span word="But">But</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="explanation">explanation</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="women">women</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="now">now</span> <span word="buying">buying</span> <span word="gems">gems</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="themselves">themselves</span>?</p>
