Nice jewels but nothing like the jewels in hands of the Shah of Iran. Fifty years ago just before the embassy take over I hitched through Iran. I was in a bank cashing notes when a guard pulled me off the the side and pointed to a vault door. What i saw might have been the last time westerners eyes laid upon Jewels galore. i had seen the crown jewels in London but this was a whole different hoard. Large room filled with chest of rubies large ones saphires emerald diamonds. Pearls the size i didnt know exsisted. All I can say is......
For those who do Not know the Bourbon Kings of France paid for their jewels - Louis XIV sent Tavernier to India to purchase jewels for the Crown - unlike their neighbors across the channel who literally stole them Viva le Roi❤❤
Glad these pieces are behind glass so we can all admire them. In today's world you are lucky if one can carry a simple vinyl handbag without being robbed . Designer shops on Madison Ave offer plain white shopping bags hoping that your purchase will not be stolen.
It would be so awesome to pair the Artemis Pink and Apollo Blue earrings with the Harry Winston Pink Legacy and Oppenheimer Blue rings 😢🥹🥺😫💙🩷💙🩷💙🩷💙🩷💙🩷💙🩷
Many People were Upset the late Queen didn't buy her Sisters Poltimore Tiara, and a few other pieces...Though I suspect Some did BID on at least Two Pieces for The Queen. Alas the Tiara wasn't a Royal Tiara. The Poltimore was a very lovely Tiara. BUT Its Provenance didn't qualify it being in the Royal Collection. Where As The Faberge Clock!!! That's very different...I've always thought that Clock a gift from Queen Mary... Might have been on The Queens bedside table when she died.
Thank you for the additional information regarding the Jarretière bracelet. I've been looking for it. It was indeed sold for 4,527,000 USD. I have a huge suspicion Van Cleef bought it themselves, as they like to buy back heritage pieces for their museum.
Королевские украшения ))Они и есть Королевские )))… я обожаю украшения с русскими корнями , а так же мои фавориты брошь НОРЦИС- с розовым бриллиантов , и в этом видео брошь Принца Альберта с Васильковым сапфиром … пусть мир будет над могилой Королевы Елизаветы ll
Королева Елизавета ll , была красивая девушка и очень приятная дама )))) с характером и принципами ))) я Россиянка - но уважаю Елизавету ll , только в ее преклонных годах - началась развиваться Руссо фобия
It seems to me that it's impossible to wear these things. They are very heavy, and the comfort of the person who is going to wear them is absolutely neglected. They are rather sculptures than real jewelry.
