Suzanne A. WellsHOST
And I think I sold that for about $30.
Suzanne A. WellsHOST
But also in there that you could not see was this little red dragon glass Lalique figurine.
Suzanne A. WellsHOST
It was only about three inches long.
Suzanne A. WellsHOST
And that sold for $85.
Rickesh KishnaniHOST
It ties into the story a little bit because Glen Turret used to be owned by Edrington, which owns McAllen.
Rickesh KishnaniHOST
So a few years ago, actually maybe five, six years ago now, Edrington sold Glen Turret to Lalique, the guys who make like crystal decanters and all that.
Rickesh KishnaniHOST
So now it's out there on its own.
Rickesh KishnaniHOST
Glen Turret is a Speyside distillery, so they actually don't make much peated whiskey.
Matthew WeldonHOST
Like, it's in lots of these celestial Victorian pieces, but it evolved then into the Art Nouveau period.
Matthew WeldonHOST
Like, Lalique loved to use moonstone, and again, it's not because of its value per carat per se, but it's because of its visual appearance.
Fenia SigkoudiGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Matthew WeldonHOST
So you'll find some Art Nouveau jewelry with beautiful moonstones, and it really got a, it became extremely popular during that time period.
Matthew WeldonHOST
So they u- what was the artistic properties of these stones, and of course, moonstone had the gem phenomenon that we've talked about.
Matthew WeldonHOST
And they use it not necessarily for its value, and I know we've, we've talked, this has come up before, you know, in terms of is the gemstone valuable for its properties or for its visual effect, and it's, or is it commercial, um, the commercial demand, is that affecting it? But I guess, uh, it, the point about Art Nouveau jewelry is they used it for its visual effect.
Matthew WeldonHOST
It didn't have to be commercially the most valuable gemstone, which moonstone is not, and we can talk about the value shortly, but its visual properties were so perfect for the Art Nouveau movement, and you can really see it in some of the key designers, the Lalique pieces, the Vervaecke pieces.
Matthew WeldonHOST
Lots of really fantastic moonstones were used in the design of this movement.
Annie SargentHOST
yes.
Annie SargentHOST
And René Lalique.
Annie SargentHOST
Right, René
Elyse RivinGUEST
Lalique.
Elyse RivinGUEST
And what's really interesting is that they both were inspired by the work that they saw from both Baccarat and the other place, Saint-Louis.
Elyse RivinGUEST
But what they decided to do was make art objects.
14 MINS LATER
Elyse RivinGUEST
And so he set up his studio, his small factory in Nancy.
Elyse RivinGUEST
And that is where you can go to see not just the pieces that, of course, are still on sale, because there are, but actually the history and the small museum is in the same big building in Nancy.
