only the center is solid gold and the first that came from America, more or less 15 kilos.

Years later, more or less 50, it was made the rest of the statue out of solid silver, 183 kilos of that.

Centuries later by the end of XVI, it was #gilded, only the silver, with gold match the color.

Defined as one of the #greatest #jewels #of #Christianity, the “Custody” of #Toledo #Cathedral, a tower of more than two meters of #gold and #silver, runs through the streets of the city during Corpus Christi.

In the “chapel of the tower, or of the treasure”, under the tower of Toledo Cathedral and after entering through a Plateresque door with the sculptures of the “Domine, quo vadis?”, we enter the enclosure that contains some of the greatest riches of Toledo Cathedral, over which the “cathedral monstrance” stands out.

‘Britain has a case to answer...this call is long overdue.

Calls are growing in South Africa for Britain's royal family to return the world's largest known clear-cut diamond in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death.
Known as the Great Star of Africa or Cullinan I, the diamond is cut from a larger gem that was mined in South Africa in 1905 and handed over to the British royal family by South Africa's colonial authorities. It is currently mounted on a royal scepter belonging to the Queen.
Demands for the return of the Great Star of Africa and other diamonds -- along with calls for repatriations -- have intensified since the Queen's death. Many South Africans Britain's acquisition of the jewels as illegitimate.'

Today a custom jewelry will cost you an arm and several months of waiting. I remember the engagement ring I had custom made for my beloved. I provided the gold and the stone. 500-600€ and 5-6 months to make it. And this, in different local jewelry stores.
Now I am a jeweler. I make all my jewelry in 7-10 working days. And I offer prices much more interesting than most.
You understood it, if you, a member of your family or a friend needs a jewelry, ask me for a quote.

🇫🇷 Aujourd'hui un bijoux sur mesure vous coutera un bras et plusieurs mois d'attente. Je me rappelle de la bague de fiançailles que j'avais fait sur mesure pour ma bien aimée. Je fournissais l'or et la pierre. 500-600€ et 5-6 mois pour la fabrication. Et ce, dans différentes bijouteries locales.
A présent je suis joaillier. Je fabrique tous mes bijoux en 7-10 jours ouvrés. Et je propose des prix beaucoup plus intéressants que la plupart.
Vous l'avez compris, si vous, un membre de votre famille ou un amis a besoin d'un bijoux, demandez moi un devis.
