Materials: Red gold, pearls and shell carvings
Date: Circa 1810
People: King Napoleon & Empress Josephine
Special Significance: One of Josephine's most cherished pieces of jewelry
There are already too many versions of the love at first sight about the love between the two.
But what we can confirm is that for Napoleon, who lived in the army for many years, the gentle and romantic Josephine was tantamount to changing his destiny.
In 1796, she finally agreed to his marriage proposal. In 1804, Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, and he personally dressed her with a crown designed by chaumet, which he designated. But Josephine's favorite was another crown given to her by Napoleon.
Created in 1809 by Nitot, the founder of Chaumet, the crown is traditional in shape, but the creative combination of pearls and embossed gemstones makes it so distinctive and artistic.
No one has counted how many large and small pearls are inlaid in the crown, and the specially formulated red gold and pearls are incomparably integrated, showing elegance and nobility. The honeysuckle totem that runs through the circle makes the crown that should be majestic and solemn more feminine and feminine. The 7 female shell reliefs are engraved with a series of Greek myths symbolizing love, which are well worth savoring.

It is the world's first cultured pearl and the crystallization of the love of a couple.
One is the son of a poor udon noodle shop owner, and the other is the daughter of a samurai in Japan's upper class, and their love is not only the gap between poor and rich, but also the class gap that cannot be crossed. However, fate is always unpredictable, and Mikimoto Yukichi and Ame fall in love.
In 1881, at the age of 23, he married Ame, a year in which he regained his childhood favorite pearls, which he pursued all his life. However, this carefree life is not easy, and after ten years of marriage, their pearl business still has nothing. Only Ame, believing in him, had no remorse for him.
One day in 1893, Ame came to work in the mussel pond as usual, and when she lifted the beads, a semi-circular button bead lay peacefully inside the soft body of the pearl mussel. The world's first artificially bred pearl was born, and I think it was the crystallization of true love.

Material: Diamond
Year: 1969
Characters: Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor
Special Significance: A priceless gift of love
It all started with that long kiss in Cleopatra, and when the director had stopped, the two men continued to kiss. Since then, they have been unable to be separated anymore.
The first small gift he gave her came from Bulgari, where he chose an emerald necklace that once belonged to the Grand Duchess of Vladimir in Russia, with diamonds around each pendant, more than 10 carats.
Although Elizabeth Taylor had so many jewels in her lifetime, the most special, of course, is the Taylor-Burton Diamond, the only jewel named after her and him, weighing 69.42 carats, pear-shaped, DIF, and beautiful.
In October 1969, the distinctive diamond was auctioned at the Burnett Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York, and Richard gave the agent an upline price of $1 million, but the result was that Cartier overtook him, bidding for the highest price of $1.05 million for a diamond at the time.
Richard said firmly, "I must buy it, even if it is $2 million or more expensive." Then, after they had waited anxiously for 24 hours, the mediator's call came and Richard won.
It was all about Elizabeth, as always, and Richard said, "I want this diamond because it's incredibly cute." It should be worn on the most beautiful woman in the world. ”
