London’s Lost Jewels – Autumn Season

We at Lolo & Galago are excited to announce the unveiling of London’s most famed, mysterious and the world’s largest cache of Elizabethan and early Stuart jewellery. It was discovered in 1912 buried in a cellar in London’s Cheapside district - named the  ‘Cheapside Hoard’.



The Museum Of London will be displaying the whole collection which has never been shown to the public before. They will also be investigating with new research & state of the art technology, stories related to the hoard. Little is known of why it was lost or more likely hidden. It will also explore the mysteries that remain, who owned the Hoard, why was it hidden and why was it never reclaimed?

The Cheapside Hoard: London’s Lost Jewels,
Displaying: Museum of London, 11 October 2013 – 27 April 2014.
