Frank, I love your “ Frank Files “ series. I have been a classically trained jeweler for over 30 years and watching your series has reignited my passion for working with pieces ,some from many of the great jewelery houses you mention. Thank you so much for the enlightenment. Sincerely, Bobby Ferrusi
Dont know if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new movies on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf during the lockdown xD
I absolutely love history especially when it is connected to amazing people of substance! As are the fabulous jewels in the two stories of the emerald ring and the increadable love a husband had for his wife in the Cartier story. Ironically those were the two finest gemstones in the collection as well. 💎 Thank you for sharing this wonderful presentation! Love the book case and our host us so knowledgeable as well as quite personable excellent traits to have when presenting such beautiful works of wearble art.
This is a well done video! Wish it was even longer with a closer look on the pieces. They are so exceptional and I love their background history. The brooches are just stunning
I'm not sure where he gets his history of the Star of the East. Evelyn W McLean purchased both the Hope and Star of the East at Cartier while on her honeymoon in 1911. There is a famous portrait of her wearing the Star of the East as the center stone of a diamond bandeau along with the Hope in it's necklace setting. Harry Winston purchased her entire jewelry collection in 1947 which included both diamonds. Winston of course donated the Hope to the Smithsonian. The Star of the East exchanged hands back and forth with Winston several times until sometime 1984 when its path suddenly runs into a big STOP sign. Its current whereabouts are unknown. Amazing that a 94.80 carat Pear shape diamond has not appeared back in the hands of Sotheby's, Christies, or even Harry Winston!

"....what I love about this brooch the most is the back." Which I'm not going to show you.
He did showed the back of the brooch. Duh?
I'd love a sample!
Me too! I like the way you think!
I love Frank.
Magnificent..jewlery...☺
I am curious about that large red coral. What is it?
멋찝니다~~~~
Cartier is my favorite.
Evelyn Walsh McLean = Baby Jane Hudson ( 00:42 )if you ask me.
Everything else pales in comparison it's just not fair
CarTier not CarDier. Make an effort!
