It's always fun to see Cartier's Tutti Fruitti jewels with their joyous colours and creative settings inspired by the mogul jewels of India. Countess Mountbatten's pieces bear a rich history that is interesting to hear. Thank you!
I don’t know when this was filmed, but most of the pieces would be a lot more today. The rubies and emeralds are larger and better quality than anything available today. A single ruby or emerald would be over $20,000 today.
There is one to many greats when referencing the relationship with Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria was her Great, great Grandmother, not great, great, great as stated on the film .poorly researched and no fact checking
Why was so many pieces of sentimental and historical jewelry that belonged to the mountbatten clan turned over and sold at auction why didn't any other members of the family want to keep it within their possession?
Interesting collection (not the prettiest). The Mourning pieces are kind of a morbid bit of history ( what a thing to inherit!). She was a very lucky girl.
I just can't believe this video. 1. Patricia is not an old name. It's a new first name for women. 2. Patricia, however, is always taken pictures in b /w, which gives the viewers a darker image of, Patricia. Patricia is, WHITE ! Not black ! 3. And then, they took a picture of a Hindi, and turned her whiter than Patricia. I just cannot believe the rude graphics of this LGBT video !! Sorry Graphics Department. Not gonna go, no.
The only piece I like is the cross. For some reason, I hate multicolored stones. These particular pieces look fit for a juvenile!!! Since it is rumored that Edwina had a very torrid love aff😂air with Nehru!, I would think there was much more sophisticated jewelry than this junk. It really looks like paste!.I don't think the tiara is attractive either. Just not too feminine . Obviously not impressed!! also , I have read that Edwina had a huge sex drive . No doubt ,she wasn't very generous with patricia!!!😮
