The Romanov jewels: 3 sets of earrings
Apparel
I'm not really known as a creator of jewellery, although it's something that always have been in my line of interest. For once these objects are not FP even though some elements of it are on the market.
Inspiration has been taken of the Romanov jewels. The model itself I made years ago but didn't obtain the textures as I wanted, it was an obligation for me to get the fine reflection of the gemstones in the gold parts. Finally it's done and the doors are open for more items (after Bellevue is finished so it will take quite a while)
Meanwhile 3 sets of gorgeous earrings: white gold/emerald, white gold/sapphire and yellow gold/Rubies.
Hope you'll like them

My pleasure.
If you loved TPOTE then they recommended me another book a novel that is even more specific about the building of cathedrals; Le printemp des cathedrales by Jean Diwo. Got it but first have to finish two other books before I can start with that one. I tried to see if a translation in English exists but failed. Perhaps you find one if interested.
Also found Cathedral, forge and waterwheel; technology and Invention in the Middle ages, by Frances & Joseph Gies having interesting points of view, not a novel but looks to do the era of the "dark ages" from another angle and show that they where far less dark then what I learned as a kid lol. More a logical period in the advent of the renaissance.

I knew this section existed and happy to find it again. Love to read. So since I've never been active here a resume of the last books. Though not my native language those where the French versions.
1. Les Plantagenets, Dan Jones, (The Plantagenets)
Even though this is more a historical work it does read as a novel. Covers the period of the Plantagenets, a for European history, extremely important family whom stands on the base of what we can call "modern" England. Their reign over vast territories which belong now to France, the 100 years wars.
For people interested in this period of the middle ages I dare to recommend it. Gives a real good extended intro of the period and makes quite some still "hanging irons" in Europe visible.
2.Les pilliers de la terre 1 and 2; Ken Follett (The Pillars of The Earth)
Loved this novel and you're in for a couple of pages. Medieval era, XIII century, the time of the building of the great cathedrals and the evolution of them. Nice build up characters and the phychology of them. Good plot with a acceptable view of the time.
A recommendation.
3. Un monde sans fin, Kenn Follett; (World without end)
If you want a continuation of Les pilliers de la terre.
France 14th century.
Right... enjoyed the story but
Contrary to his former two books, in my eyes, it doesn't reach the same level. The characters are not so well "drawn" as before. As if he wanted to start quite some plots with perhaps too many important characters and in the end couldn't follow them all anymore leading to too many "loose ends". Regularly rather large time lapses so that Kenn Follett leaves you wondering what happened with specific persons or they get a bit a very convenient end. Got the impression that for the first 200 pages he took a relatively slow pace and spun it a bit too much out. Then discovered on the end that he had to do the exact oposite and compress the story too much.
I don't say it's a bad book though for sure not on the same level.
Thx for your comment on harry Potter and the cursed child Tatiana was a bit hesitating to purchase it but decided for a no go. Have the feeling I'm don't have to regret that decision
