Самые известные обручальные кольца в истории

Queen Elizabeth II As you know, the Duke of Edinburgh himself came up with the design of the ring, and borrowed diamonds from his mother (the Princess of Greece and Denmark). The queen wears the central stone of 3 carats without taking off. Grace Kelly Initially, Prince of Monaco Rainier III purchased a Cartier ring made of rubies and diamonds for engagement, but then, having doubts about his impressiveness, he bought another ring with a central stone of 10.5 carats and surrounded by 2 baguettes. Today, this ring is valued at $ 4.3 million. Elizabeth Taylor Technically, it was not her engagement ring. She was presented to her by her husband, 5 and 6, Richard Burton (they signed 2 times) on Valentine's Day. He bought this ring at an auction for $ 300 thousand. Prior to this, the ring belonged to the wife of a famous German industrialist who actively sponsored the Nazis. A very romantic present 👀 But, despite its impressive size and history, she wore Elizabeth practically without removing it. After death, the diamond went under the hammer for $ 8.8 million. Jacqueline Onassis John F. Kennedy presented his lover with a precious Van Cleef & Arpels jewel with two large baguette-cut stones - a 2.84-carat emerald and a 2.88-carat diamond framed with diamond petals. A little later, Jacqueline decided to change the baguette-cut diamonds to round and oval. At the moment, the ring is estimated at $ 1.4 million. Marilyn Monroe Against the background of other celebrity engagement rings demonstrating impressive sizes of diamonds and gems, this ring stands out for its special design and lack of pretentiousness. 35 baguette-cut diamonds were inlaid in a platinum hoop, forming a concise sparkling bezel. For the entire existence of the ring, it was sold twice at auctions. The last time he was put up for $ 300,000. Kate Middleton For the long-awaited engagement, the future Duchess of Cambridge received Princess Diana's engagement ring. The ring of the mother was inherited by Prince Harry, but on the eve of the engagement of his elder brother, he considered it right to transfer the family jewel to him. Kim Kardashian As you know, Kanye West made Kim Kardashian a marriage proposal during a baseball game in San Francisco. The ring design was invented by Kanye himself together with the jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. A 15-carat stone worth more than $ 1.5 million replaced the previous 20-carat stone from basketball player Chris Humphries. Детальніше

Чому Richard Millе?

In the world of Swiss watchmaking, tradition sets the pace for the market. Brands like Patek Philippe and Rolex are often called industry kings in both retail and auctions. But a new generation of watchmakers is changing the age-old order. At the head of new trends is independent watchmaker Richard Mill, who creates futuristic watches that have become a symbol of wealth. Why exactly did the Richard Mille brand become so popular among watch fans? - Richard Mill founded the brand of the same name in 1999 with the support of the Audemars Piguet brand in order to manually create watch movements with technical innovations. - In 2001, the Richard Mille RM001 model appeared, in which there is no gold, diamonds or other precious stones. This watch is an exceptional technique. They came out in a limited edition of 80 copies and were sold at a price of 159 thousand euros apiece. 👆 By the way, in 2017, the RM056 model was sold for £ 1.2 million at Christie’s auction. - Richard Mille is called “the watch of billionaires,” they adorn the wrists of very rich and famous people💰 - Richard Mill, creating the aesthetics of his models, was inspired by automotive design. As Forbes wrote, acquiring a Richard Mille watch is the equivalent of “buying a miniature sports car for your wrist.” Mill himself said: “I want people who see my watch to say“ wow! ” - Annually less than five thousand hours of Richard Mille are produced, many in a limited edition. For a young brand, this is a large volume of production, but demand is constantly ahead of it. High auction prices continue to reflect this trend. For example, the RM52 Tourbillon model was released in a very limited series - only six copies, and it could be purchased only in the Asian market. - Visually, Richard Mille watches look very bulky, but in fact, their weight is an average of 40 grams😳 What do you think about this brand?
