Until the end of the Middle Ages, European gems were polished as cabochons — a smooth, domed surface that gives a soft glow but no sparkle. Faceting, which cuts the stone into reflective planes, only appeared in Europe around the turn of the 14\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 15\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries; a guild of gem cutters is documented in Nuremberg as early as 1375, then in Bruges shortly after. The goldsmiths of the North therefore worked with color and cloisonné, never with sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📖 \u003cstrong\u003eFurther reading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Explore \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/forgeron-viking-metier-techniques-metallurgie\" title=\"Viking Blacksmith: Trade, Techniques and Metallurgy\"\u003eour feature on the Viking blacksmith\u003c\/a\u003e and his workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e♦ Complete Your Viking Collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover other Viking accessories you might like:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-ancre-puces-zircon-citrine-acier\" title=\"Anchor Earrings — Citrine Zircon Studs\"\u003eAnchor Earrings — Citrine Zircon Studs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-zircon-dore-puces-rondes-classiques-acier\" title=\"Golden Zircon Earrings — Classic Round Studs\"\u003eGolden Zircon Earrings — Classic Round Studs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-creoles-torsadees-acier-minimalistes\" title=\"Twisted Hoop Earrings — Minimalist Steel\"\u003eTwisted Hoop Earrings — Minimalist Steel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Le Comptoir Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57869472334206,"sku":"LCV-BO-034-1","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/0569\/8430\/files\/boucles-oreilles-zircon-champagne-puces-carrees-acier-ambiance.jpg?v=1787172392","url":"https:\/\/www.le-comptoir-viking.fr\/en\/products\/boucles-oreilles-zircon-champagne-puces-carrees-acier","provider":"Le Comptoir Viking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
