Is it your birthday this month?

Would you like a jewel featuring your diamonds this year?

Perhaps you prefer to receive your diamonds as a gift. If so, you are in good company, as both Paulette Goddard and Wallis Simpson received nearly all of their jewelry from their husbands. Ms. Goddard received several stunning diamond jewels from Charlie Chaplin, whom she married in the 1930s. One such piece was a gorgeous diamond, emerald cabochon, and gold bracelet with a floral motif made by Trabert & Hoeffer, Inc.--Mauboussin. Charlie Chaplin presented this lovely retro bracelet to Ms. Goddard after she lost the part of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. Wallis Simpson, more popularly known as the Duchess of Windsor, received from her adoring husband David, the former King of England, numerous diamond jewels. One of the most captivating is a diamond double-leaf necklace by Cartier. This necklace wraps around her neck in an exquisite hug of ice in a portrait taken by Dorothy Wilding in 1943. Perhaps you're not expecting diamonds from your sweetheart this year. If not, then why not join the company of Elizabeth Taylor and Daisy Fellowes, and lavish diamonds upon yourself. In 1987, Elizabeth Taylor purchased a gorgeous diamond jewel at auction in 1987, the 'Prince of Wales' brooch previously owned by none other than Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor. The Prince of Wales brooch is a stunning interpretation of the insignia of the Prince of Wales, with three diamond encrusted feathers emerging from a platinum and diamond crown. It was one of the only royal-affiliated jewels the former King of England was able to keep while in exile. In her own act of independence, Daisy Fellowes purchased for herself a notable pink diamond, which weighed 17.47 carats, from Cartier. This diamond, called 'Tete de Belier' ('Ram's Head'), once belonged to Prince Youssoupoff of Russia, who sold it to Cartier in 1927. Though it was stolen in 1939, this stone is said to have inspired Elsa Schiaparelli's 'shocking pink,' which for a long time belonged solely to Daisy Fellowes.
