The Adin Museum Of Fairy Tale Artifacts proudly presents: Shining and glittering in the candlelight

Once upon a time... a long, long time ago, soirées (French for... "soirees") were illuminated by romantic glimmering candlelight, smelly oil lamps, and asphyxiating smothering torches. And all the people were happy (deep sigh), and their pieces of jewellery set with rose-cut diamonds were shining and sparkling as beautifully as can be...

To many antique jewellery experts, this is the reason why goldsmiths of those days used rose-cut diamonds; so the jewels would sparkle better in the candlelight. To prove this, the Adin Museum of Fairy Tale Artefacts is showcasing some of their rose-cut diamond jewellery in a candlelight environment. There remains the question, in what other than the light of candles, oil lamps, and torches did rose-cut diamonds have to sparkle, since there wasn't any electricity yet.
