I leave you to discover the new treasures of Lydia Courteille. To dream of wonderful journeys and follow in the footsteps of great conquerors like Tamerlan and Alexandre Legrand.

First of all, this caravan takes us to meet Darius. King of Persia in the fifth century BC, with this pendant and necklace made of matrix turquoise inspired by the Frise des Archers from the Royal Palace of Suse.

The frieze of glazed bricks made of siliceous paste depicts rows of soldiers armed with a lance, an arc, and a shield, who are dressed in the tunic of the Persian army.

Lydia Courteille We always offer more astonishing with this bracelet inspired by Persia, featuring in its center an antique cylinder seal held by a lion and a bull.

The cylinder seal is a stone cylinder (sometimes made of metal, faience, or glass) adorned with motifs representing gods or symbols of power. It is worth noting that it is mostly used to print these motifs onto clay. It should be emphasized that it is also considered a magical object.

Persia is also an ancient religion: Zoroastrianism dates back to the pre-Islamic era. The most important aspects of the pillars of Zoroastrianism are equality between men and women, fighting slavery, defending the cause of animals (the sacrifice of animals is considered a crime), doing good around one’s self, cultivating a sense of joy in life, and worshipping fire.
To illustrate, this ancient religion Lydia We offer these Farvahar earrings.

Thus, the three rows of feathers on the wings recall the fundamental principles of «good thought, good words, and good actions». Moreover, the two side legs emphasize the duality between good and evil and the great circle, the infinite of the universe, and the small, the love.

Located on the Silk Road, between China and the Mediterranean, is the city of Samarkand.
A jewel of Islamic architecture with rich colors, Samarkand became the capital of the famous conqueror Tamerlane in 1369.

We will continue this journey with Lydia Courteille by traveling to other countries with a thousand and one nights with this stunning turban ring adorned with an emerald feather or these grenade earrings.
