LOVE antique jewelry. The Suq at the Oriental Institute let the docents buy replicas in 24K. One of my very first splurges.
The Suq is the museum shop located at the Oriental Institute Museum, which is part of the University of Chicago. It sells a variety of items including jewelry, books, home decor, and replicas of artifacts found in the museum’s collections. The shop is a not-for-profit entity, with proceeds supporting various departments and projects within the Institute, particularly the Research Archives. 🙂👍
