Darwin’s microscope, Josephine’s diadem and a Lalique collar

Emerald eyeglasses, Elvira, and other extraordinary excesses

The Halloween Edition!

A Kashmir sapphire, a tank mask and Cindy Sherman

Tiny camels, Berlin iron, and a small, aggressive Briton

A tiny golden snake of welcome

Salvador Dalí really loved snails

Sea monsters, zip necklaces and JAR

Horse armor, a royal tiara and the dethroned Italian monarchy

Stupidly huge diamonds, horrible baby heads and Celeste Holm

Fauxbergé scandal at the Hermitage!

Antique betrothal rings, the Dancing Marquess and some octopus spoons

A wisteria collar, a haunted Hall, and the life of Silver Sam, Colonial counterfeiter

One final memento mori for 2020
