A mysterious figure who frequented the French court before the revolution, Saint-Germain was an alchemist and occultist who claimed to be centuries old and capable of removing flaws from diamonds. He was a founding father of freemasonry, a confidant of Marie Antoinette, Catherine the Great and the Marquis de Sade and in hushed whispers his reputation for thaumaturgical mischief spread throughout the royal courts of Europe.
Saint-Germain was last recorded in Paris in the incendiary year of 1789, there to secretly bequeath an item of great arcane significance to an unnamed courtesan who was destined to escape the reign of terror. The Saint-Germain Jewel has proved illusive to all those who would possess it, and it's recent residence in the secret stewardship of the Louvre, which ended in an audacious jewellery heist, is thought in certain esoteric circles to be the jewel finding it's way home to it's immortal master.
The Lost Jewels of Paris is a bold statement necklace inspired by the legendary stolen jewels of the Louvre. Hand polished in fine pewter and adorned with jade green Austrian crystals, this piece shimmers with old-world luxury and occult intrigue. A discreet skull detail crowns the design, adding the signature Alchemy gothic touch. Versatile and dramatic, it comes with both a chain and a black ribbon, allowing two distinct looks, from regal elegance to dark romantic allure. ...
