Notre-Dame Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece in Paris, began construction in 1163. Known for its towers, rose window, and flying buttresses, it’s a cultural icon. A 2019 fire destroyed its spire, but restoration is progressing—reopening expected by 2025 or 2026.

Gemstones and architecture had an interesting history.
Ancient Mesopotamians decked temples with lapis lazuli to touch the divine, while Egypt’s pharaohs packed tombs with turquoise for the afterlife. Greeks and Romans turned villas into gem-studded showoffs—Nero even had purple porphyry walls. Medieval cathedrals mimicked heaven with ruby-red glass, and India’s Taj Mahal became a marble-and-jasper masterpiece. From sacred stones to royal flexes, gems built more than just buildings—they built legends.”
