Imagine the library of gems the crown would have to store and special order to commission such fantastic works. The size and quality of the stones in all varieties so the top jewelers could show their ultimate potential. The cutters would be likely to experiment with new designs so their work is unique, like that emerald cab with convex features. What a treat. Thank you Justin.
@@JustinKPrim OK no worries -It is an interesting piece, and the opal is quite big with good quality fire. Not many opals from this period have survived, and most are much smaller and lower grade.. I need to visit it some day. cheers
@@Opal_Spectrum Actually I found the details in a book. The piece is from about 1600, made in Southern Germany. It's a Slovak Precious Opal and the whole piece is 7.2cm high. Inventory Number Xla 52
@@jankan4979 could be. I don’t think the history of these items. Most of the Jewelery is made bespoke for the people that wore it but for the stones… who knows?
