The Most Extraordinary Jewelry Gifts Ever Sold at Sothebys — And the Stories Behind Them

A tiara that may have crowned an empress.
A jade necklace whose origins remain a mystery.
A diamond reclaimed from a dark chapter of history.
A watch engraved with five words of love.
And a handbag that redefined fashion — twice.

In this episode, we step inside Sotheby’s to uncover the most extraordinary jewelry gifts ever sold — from the Donnersmarck Tiara and the Hutton-Mdivani Jadeite Necklace to the Krupp (Elizabeth Taylor) Diamond, Paul Newman’s engraved Rolex Daytona, and Jane Birkin’s original Hermès Birkin.

These were not just objects of luxury. They were symbols of devotion, power, reinvention, and legacy.

Because sometimes, the most valuable gift is not the one that glitters — but the one that survives.
