I sold The Black Orlov at Christies in order to finance the pursuit of my next project which involves a ring previously owned by Marilyn Monroe, a lock of her hair, and a "kiss" from Marilyn, uniquely preserved on a napkin (which are awaiting DNA testing/comfirmation).

I've never read a post from anyone who has had the incredible luck and wealth to own such a majestic and fabled item. You must pinch yourself at the mere thought you were privvy to look at it on a regular basis. Why oh why did you sell it? The most charitable thing would have been to pass it onto to a diamond loving gal like me.
