René Lalique, a Gemmologist’s Perspective

The 5th Home Gemmology webinar held during the covid-19 lockdown period with the support of CIBJO - The World Jewellery Confederation, is on a gemmologist’s perspective of René Lalique jewellery. The discussion will be essentially around the gem materials used by famed French Art Nouveau artist, illustrated mostly with the vast collection housed at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Portugal. His choices from coloured gemstones to biogenic gem materials, diamonds and glass, are related to the available sources at the period when he created his masterpieces in the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
