5 Fantastically Famous Jewelry Pieces

Embedded in every imaginable piece of jewelry, gemstones of all kinds, colors and value have made their mark. But there are those special designs and creations, over time, that have captured the world’s attention simply because of the statement they made, and their thoroughly unique qualities.

Here are 5 such jewelry pieces that are as gorgeous as they are valuable: -

The Famous Faberge eggs

The imperial Faberge Eggs came into existence through the Romanov family. The last Tsar, Alexander III started the tradition which was continued by his son. He rested the responsibility of creating faultless Easter eggs, studded with jewels, on then-famous jeweler Faberge. Each egg, unique, and although not jewelry per se, is a masterpiece in design, decorated with precious gemstones, metals and more.  

The Crown Jewels

The priceless ‘Crown Jewels’ have rested at the London Tower since the 1600s. They project incalculable cultural, historical, and symbolic values. The Coronation Regalia is the heart of the set’s collection that includes sacred objects like the Imperial State Crown with the Kohinoor diamond (105.6 carats), the Sovereign’s Scepter holding the South African Cullinan Diamond (3106 carat)s, and the Sovereign’s orb, in gold. This breathtaking set collects a total of 23,000 precious gems.

The Napoleon Diamond Necklace

Napoleon gifted this extravagant gold and silver necklace, studded with 234 diamonds to his second wife, Marie-Louise on the day their son was born. Completed in 1811 by jeweler Etienne Nitôt and Sons of Paris, this magnificent necklace has an estimated total weight of 263 carats. 

The Taylor-Burton Diamond

Elizabeth Taylor is known for her beauty and possession of legendary jewels. One of the most famous is the Taylor-Burton diamond. The 69.42-carat, pear-shaped diamond is one of the most magnificent examples of diamond necklaces for women of our times. Even though the actress owned the gemstone for less than a decade, it is referred to as the Taylor-Burton Diamond, since Richard Burton chased it down for his beloved wife, making it a lasting symbol of romance.

The Hope Diamond

The Hope diamond sits next to the Napoleon Necklace and Marie Louise’s Diadem in the National Museum of Natural History. The Pierre Cartier-designed blue diamond centerpiece weighs 42.52 carats and is surrounded by 16 pear and cushion-shaped white diamonds. Legend has it that it was stolen from an idol in India. It is said to carry a curse that foretold bad luck and death not only to the owner but to anyone who touched it, making the name a bit of an irony.
