Gorgeous!! 🎉 I've said it before and I'll say it again: Even if I won thr lottery I just couldn't wear or buy such decadence but I appreciate beautiful artwork. Another wonderful video and topic by my favorite Jewelry Historian !

The Eglantine's necklace would beautifully match with the Strathmore Rose tiara.

In this video, my favorite pieces are the Eglantine necklace, the olive wreath tiara and the diamond tiara with a blue enamel background.

I am an Australian and did not realise how expensive a jewel collection Dame Nellie Melba ( a made up sir name to represent the city of Melbourne in Australia where she came from.) had.

Princess Marie (Bonaparte) of Greece got the Olive wreath Tiara done when marrying the Greek Prince George!

Beautiful pieces and amazing craftsmanship - but these jewelry pieces should not be privately owned, they are our shared cultural heritage and should be on public display for everyone to enjoy!

the gilded age and Edwardian are are completely different. the gilded age was from 1865-1904 where as the Edwardian era was 1901-1910

Hate the auto translation..the program mispronounces so many words it’s a distraction. It makes one wonder if the channel is AI generated. If not..please let us know who you are and why you use this auto translation

I am suspicious of some of the Christy's auctions recently. I suspect that; those photos are photoshopped, and the auctions illegal. I would think that the certificates for those gems are fake and the GEMS are stolen.

Pronunciation is so bad, even in English. Have had to silence the narrator, and just look at the images.

Every time this zScot talks he'll mispronounce something. This time marquise is pron 'eese' at the end!!!! Suzette
