Baubles Bangles and Beads,

Just don't lose your head over them.
Here's the story. Two crooks, one Contessa de Motte were to deliver the necklace ti Marie Antionette, The woman(Contessa) stole the necklace,escaped to London, Her partner was imprisoned. Motte removed 22 Diamonds and sold them The necklace is owned by a private collector now. Poor Marie Got the Bill and the French went wild.

.





















The Cambridge,Dehli Durbar Necklace
It was made for Queen Mary. The Emeralds
belonged to her grandmother the duchess of Cambridge.
It was made for her ACCLAMATION OF INDIA.
Isn't it magnificent?

Here's another story. The Godman necklace was given to the Queen from
two elderly spinster sisters. They claimed it belonged to Empress Josephine of France.
Jewerly isn't it wonderful.

  2. great photo's Yvonne, the fascination of gems - and what people do to covet them,,
    I never really appreciated the beauty of jewels, until one day I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was looking at this magnificently decorated sword within it's sheath? all solid gold and encrusted with jewels, a true work of art, and then I began to fully appreciate how extremely beautiful jewels garnered from mother nature then crafted into a form of art actually is.

  3. Hello there dear Yvonne! I LOVE JEWELS. I once went to Tiffany's in New York City and just about fainted when I walked in, being overwhelmed by the shine!!!!!

  4. Oh my goodness - such gorgeous jewelry! The Marie Antoinette necklace is so very pretty. So sad that she never got to wear it, but it certainly was ostentatious when the populace was starving. But isn't that the way it's always been? These baubles must be heavy - they would give me a serious head-ache - first for the weight and then for the worry of being robbed. Emeralds are truly lovely. I love sapphires and rubies, too. There is something so wonderful about colored stones.....Hope you are enjoying these lovely June days. xx Karen
