Gloria Stuart's Oscar Night Necklace
Q.I just read a factoid that the diamond necklace (on loan from Harry Winston) Gloria Stuart wore to the Oscars was worth $20 million. Is that true?
A.you are right. No one but the jewelers know precisely what the full necklace, with its blue sapphire and accompanying gems, cost to fashion. The necklace was initially estimated for sale at $3.5 million (US) dollars, but sold for only 2.2 millions. At an exclusive gala dinner in Bangkok soon after the incident, wives of the Thai generals and leading politicians fiercely competed in showing off their jewelry. The Thai newspapers' photographers caught pictures showing diamond necklaces belonging to the Saudi royal family.
