Rosace De Paris
Within the heart of Paris stands the historically intriguing
Notre Dame Cathedral. Inspiring thousands of people every year,
the foundation was first laid by Bishop Maurice de Sully and
King Louise IX in the early 12th century. Completed 200 years
later, this magnificent church has weathered monarchies,
revolutions, civil unrest and multiple restorations. And within
this beauty sits the Rosace stained glass window. As the light
shines through this masterpiece, a lustrous rainbow of colour
beams down in a blaze of brilliance transforming the gothic
darkness into a kaleidoscope of divinity.
Awed by the
evocative beauty and spectacular dance of sunglow through the
Rosace, artisans Simon Levi and Avraham Namdar took inspiration
and created the extraordinary Brilliant Rose diamond in 1996.
