Description

"The authors of this book, both international jewelry experts who have been involved in countless auctions of fine jewelry from private estates, look behind the diamonds and rubies to tell the stories of the collectors. Here are Barbara Hutton, the "Poor Little Rich Girl," Mary Pickford, "America's Sweetheart" of the silent-film era, cosmetics magnate Helena Rubinstein, and opera diva Renata Tebaldi, among others, all of whom built extraordinary collections."--BOOK JACKET. "Illustrated throughout with color photographs of superb jewelry and archival shots of the bejeweled collectors, this volume is essential for everyone with an interest in society, collecting, and the very finest of jewels."--BOOK JACKET.
