From September 26, 2023 to January 14, 2024, the Cluny museum offers a “Journey into crystal” in the Middle Ages and throughout history.
Rock crystal has always been fascinating and in all civilizations. It has been attributed many protective virtues, but also spiritual and magical powers. Its transparency has made it a privileged observation tool... but also a luxury product. #museums #exhibitions #RockCrystal #minerals
Playing detective. I bought this lovely silver & quartz pendant 2nd hand the other day. Noticed it had a maker's mark. It took me two days to find the name of the jeweller LoR = Lorilea Jaderborg, from Denmark. It's a stunning piece. I find a lot of cool 2nd hand jewellery from the online classifieds here and if it has a maker's stamp I always try to figure out who made it. Don't know why exactly but it somehow completes everything.
