"Diamonds are eternal, like love": excursion with Maria Strukova

Right now we all miss light, magic and sparkle! We will also discuss the serious marketing lie of our world: that diamonds are forever, like love. But a lie, not diamonds, cannot be eternal. Guide Maria Strukova leads you into a world where history is intertwined with luxury. You will see genuine (!) orders decorated with rubies, sapphires and real diamonds, relics once owned by great and legendary figures of the past. Maria reveals intriguing and sometimes shocking stories behind these jewels: who received these symbols of honour and for which deeds, what secrets they keep and what dramatic events accompanied their passage through the centuries. You will feel like a guest of the 18th century and be inspired by the grandeur and atmosphere of an era when the value of jewellery was measured not only by precious stones but by people's lives.

Ticket: €16, pensioners €10.

Friday 20 November, 15:00, Tallinn Knights' Guild Museum (Rüütliordude muuseum), Kuninga 3, Tallinn.
