It's not just jewelry..
Titanic-inspired Heart of the Ocean Necklace:
The Heart of the Ocean first appeared in the 1997 blockbuster movie. Real-life versions of it were created for the Oscars that same year, worn by Gloria Stuart as Old Rose. It cost an estimated $20 million and features a 15-carat blue diamond surrounded by a halo of large diamonds, with a large chain of diamonds. Celine Dion borrowed it for two days at the Oscars. Designed by Asprey & Garrard, the necklace features a 170-carat heart-shaped diamond and 65 round diamonds, each weighing 30 carats.
Wallis Simpson's Tiger Bracelet:
Wallis Simpson, an aristocrat known for her passion for precious jewelry, was the wife of Prince Edward VIII, King of the United Kingdom. The leopard bracelet is one of those timeless pieces of art that has become famous not only for its large size or the rarity of the precious stones used in it, but for the intricacy and skill of the craftsmen who made it. The bracelet accurately reflects the details of the leopard’s body, including its fur, face, and claws. The bracelet was sold to an anonymous buyer for $12 million, and rumor has it that Madonna was the buyer.
Princess Diana's ring:
One of the most famous pieces of antique jewelry in history, this ring is more than just a ring, it is a symbol of love, grief and legend. Given to Princess Diana when Prince Charles proposed to her, it featured a large diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds in a white gold setting. After her tragic death, the ring was passed down to Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, and has become a symbol of romance, sacrifice and eternal memory.
The Tiffany Yellow:
It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t heard of the stunning and rare 128-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond. It’s one of the largest known yellow diamonds on earth, discovered in the Kimberley mine in South Africa in 1877, weighing in at 287.42 carats. In its 150-year lifespan, it has only been owned and worn twice. Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse was the first to wear it to the Tiffany Ball in 1957, while Audrey Hepburn wore it in a 1961 advertisement for “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
