Agreed!
True old money does not discriminate (especially if they learned from the revolutions).
I am sure she is happy someone is wearing it and appreciates it enough to restore it and care for it. It's truly beautiful.
When you come from Old money, you are surrounded by those things are you grow up, so it's more "normalized", which is why some people seem out of touch, because it's just an everyday thing. The rest comes from education and exposure to the fact that it is a great responsibility to have that kind of wealth and to do your best to spread it around to help people where and when you can.
I will forever kick myself over a 3ct edwardian diamond ring i came across in an antique shop in Austria that looking back i should have jumped on - it was before i knew more about antique diamonds and all that jazz we come across here on ps (and education).
You could always check over the online catalogues for the auctions and see if you spot the ruby again - if you think it's worth the detective work. I am sure we would all love to see it.
Can't wait to see the next evolution of this piece, it's fantastic!!
Thank you. I am excited to see how this looks finished, myself. I think I will contact Sako and see if he would be willing to work on it. I know he would do a wonderful job.
I know the feeling of kicking yourself for not buying 'that thing' you saw somewhere for a killer price. I could have had that jade necklace for $200, and it is worth many, many times that. ARGH. Lol.
