Question - 423

Identify the jewelery. Only two people have ever worn it. Identify the more famous of the two.

Answer: The diamond in the necklace is the Tiffany yellow diamond, the largest yellow diamond to have ever been discovered. It was worn on only two occasions - once by Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse (wife of some politician and chairwoman of the Tiffany ball) and on the publicity stills of Breakfast at Tiffany's by the divine Audrey Hepburn. Amresh, Schmetterling, Ajinkya, Krithi, Iam, Anand, Hari, Aparna, Kaushik and Rajesh K got it. Well done.

The Tiffany's yellow diamond set in the ribbon necklace - Audrey Hepburn?

"Ribbons Necklace" of diamonds and gold, designed by Jean Schlumberger in 1960, centered by the Tiffany Diamond in a brooch setting. Worn by Audrey Hepburn in publicity photographs for Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. The other person is probably Jacklin Kennedy.

As soon as I saw the pic, the only thing that it reminded is some famous actress wearing the diamond for a famous movie. Only after googling could I spot Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's and the Tiffany diamond. It is a pity that I watched part of the movie this past weekend.
