This fall is a great time to do some museum hopping if you have an interest in precious objects from all eras. There's the Hidden Treasures of Afghanistan exhibit which is headed to San Francisco, the Art Nouveau Jewelry exhibit at the MFA in Boston and now Artistic Luxury: Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique at the Cleveland Museum of Art from October 19 – January 18.

This exhibit showcases jewelry pieces and luxury objects from the 1900 Exhibition Universelle at Paris's Grand Palais where Art Nouveau jewelry design reached its apex. The show is a comparative study of the work of three of the greatest designers of the 20th century Peter Carl Fabergé, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and René Lalique. It includes rare loans from public and private collections worldwide from lenders such as Queen Elizabeth, Prince Albert of Monaco, Joan Rivers, and Neil Lane and public collections from the Met to the Hermitage. The pieces in the gallery below are just a sample of some of the beautiful objects on loan. Shown above is Edward VII's Faberge enamel cigarette case which was loaned to the exhibit by Queen Elizabeth II.

Last year, Macallan debuted their 50 year single malt in a Lalique decanter, this year they have upped the ante with a 55-year-old single malt and a new decanter with a stopper shaped like the Lalique Tiara perfume's bottle stopper but colored a deep amber to match the precious stuff contained within. There will be 420 decanters and each sells for $12,000.

What's great about this Champ Elysees Bowl by Lalique is that it can really be made to fit almost any season. It may be a bright green perfect for spring and Easter but pair with golds and it's beautiful for a fall or Thanksgiving table, and with reds and whites it's suddenly all about Christmas. I can also see it fitting into a variety of decor styles from old fashioned to modern and contemporary. Hand made in France it features hand chiseled green-tipped crystal leaves and measures 7.5"x17.5"x10". $3995

Lalique's latest collection is, what else, hearts. Their St. Valentin collection features thick ribbons of glass twisted into heart shapes. The collection includes paperweights and necklaces in a variety of rich jewel tones. The look is much more fluid than previous Lalique heart collections.
