“That was probably the strangest cocktail request I’ve herd in a while.” Adi chuckled as she looked over at the person on the stool next to hers.

So I've been thinking... yeah shocking I know. But I'm definitely unsatisfied with my legacy as of now PLUS I can't organise how to deal with both of my projects... I thought about timeskips and defining some periods of time for each project but I'm still unsatisfied.
The only thing I'm sure about is that from the next posts the legacy gen will be 3.1 cause its taking AGES and I still have a lot planned so... yeah. If anyone of you has some ideas, please help me!
Augustin Duflos, after Claude Rondé. Crown of Louis XV, 1722.
It was the custom of the kings of France to have their own personal crown made for their coronation. Louis XV commissioned two crowns: one in enameled gold and the other, now in the Louvre, in silver-gilt embellished with precious stones. In 1729, however, this crown was dismantled and the original jewels replaced with paste imitations. The crown was worn only at the coronation, after which it was placed in the abbey of Saint-Denis with the rest of the royal regalia.
The crown of Louis XV consists of an embroidered satin cap encircled by a metal band; springing from this are openwork arches surmounted by a fleur-de-lis. The band was originally bordered with two rows of pearls and set with eight colored stones (sapphires, rubies, topazes and emeralds) alternating with diamonds. At the base of the arches were five-diamond clusters forming fleurs-de-lis. The famous Regent diamond, purchased a few years before the coronation, adorned the flower at the front. The eight quadrangular diamonds that surmounted the flowers were from the set of eighteen Mazarin diamonds. The crown is topped by a fleur-de-lis formed from silver acanthus leaves, set originally with the Sancy diamond and seventeen others. A further twenty-four diamonds were sewn onto the cap. In 1729, the pearls and precious stones were replaced by paste imitations at the command of Louis XV. In all, the crown contained 282 diamonds (161 large and 121 small), 64 colored stones (including 16 rubies, 16 sapphires and 16 emeralds) and 237 pearls. (via louvre.fr)
