Buddhist monk to collector!
That first photo blew me away, bontany translated into gems.
I think this man might make a good PSer.

The bracelet or cuff that looked like lace was amazing

Wonderful article and fabulous pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you all enjoyed it.

It's funny to see how these old/historic gems seem to be badly cut, flat crown, big table, and window, won't pass PS standard check for sure. Still, there are something special about them, such as majestic designs and craftsmanship?

Hope his plan of museum in Kyoto would work out, we then plan a PS field trip there!

Stunning. Thank you for sharing.

Jewelry...The Body Transformed

Yesterday I saw the Jewelry exhibit at the Met. The Body Transformed. It was stunning. Sharing the fabulous pieces with those of you who don’t have the opportunity to go and see them in person. If you can go it’s worth it and as an added bonus the Delacroix exhibit is right next to the jewelry...
