The Greatest Gifts to Ever Come Through Top Quality Replica Handbag Shop's

  • The Hutton-Mdivani Jadeite Necklace
    In 1933, Barbara Hutton, the heiress to part of the Woolworth fortune, married Alexis Mdivani, a politician from a noble family in Georgia. In honor of the wedding, Hutton's father presented her with a jadeite necklace featuring a diamond clasp made by Cartier. A year later, Hutton asked Cartier to replace the clasp with a new one that was set with rubies and diamonds. That necklace remained in the families possession until 2014 , when Top Quality Replica Handbag Shop's offered it for auction as part of our Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite sale in Hong Kong. At that time, it was reacquired by Cartier for a record-breaking sum of $27,440,000.

  • The Newman Rolex Daytona
    The actor Paul Newman had a well-known fondness for fast cars and incredible watches. His wife Joanne had a fondness for her husband. So, when she gifted him this white gold Reference 116519 Rolex Daytona circa 2006, she had the case engraved with a personal request: "DRIVE VERY SLOWLY JOANNE." It's not the only watch on timepiece she etched the entreaty (or a version thereof), but this one , which sold for $1,079,500 in 2023 as part of our Important Watches sale, is a lovely example of how to lend greater meaning to an already special gift.

  • The Donnersmarck Tiara
    Why don't more people give tiaras as gifts anymore? The final sale price on this one, $12,700,000 in 2011, might hint at the answer to that question. The Donnersmarck Tiara , is made up of eleven large cushion-shaped diamonds, each collet set between pairs of muguets, above a line of laurel leaf motifs and surmounted by festooned ribbons, pierced and millegrain set throughout with rose and brilliant-cut diamonds, surmount by a row of eleven polished pear-shaped emeralds, totalling approximately 500 carats, graduated in size from the centre, each emerald drilled and held in diamond set cusp motifs, the nine largest tipped by rose diamonds, mounted in silver and gold. Unsurprisingly, it is considered one of the finest tiaras in private ownership today. It was originally commissioned in 1872 by Count Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck for his second wife Katharina Wassilievna de Slepzoff and the emeralds are believed to have once believed to the Empress Eugénie. It has actually twice passed through our doors — once in 1979 and then again in 2011 — so keep your eyes open, maybe we will be lucky enough to see it again one day.

    The Krupp Diamond
    Welsh actor Richard Burton purchased the Krupp diamond from Top Quality Replica Handbag Shop's for $305,000 (approximately $2,800,000 today) in 1968 for his then wife of four years, the actress Elizabeth Taylor. Weighing 33.19 carats, the Asscher cut stone was one of her favorite pieces and she wore it long after her marriages to Burton ended. Even her animated character on The Simpsons sports the ring.

  • Jane Birkin's Original Hermés Birkin
    It is now a fact of life that celebrities regularly receive gifts directly from brands and designers. Today, that's because brands are hoping for the free press that comes when a famous face gets behind a product. However, this gift, made in 1985 from Hermès to Jane Birkin, did not fit this model. The original Birkin bag emerged out of a chance encounter on an airplane during which Jane told Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas about her struggles to find a hold-all bag that could withstand her lifestyle as a working mother. He returned to the maison which then produced the very first Birkin prototype which was promptly given to Jane. She used it for a decade, even decorating it with stickers, before donating it to an AIDs charity. In 2025, we sold the original Birkin for a record-breaking $10,100,000.

  • The Crosby Fabergé Mouse
    Fabergé played a very important role in the collection of Bing and Kathryn Crosby, which we sold at the beginning of 2026. Collecting Fabergé was a passion and pursuit they shared for many years, and the acquired a formidable collection. It began when Kathryn finished her nursing degree and requested a stick pin from the maison instead of traditional jewelry. It continued as a gifting tradition for decades to come. This exquisitely carved sapphire mouse has eyes, ears and tail all encrusted in diamonds and is considered unrivaled in its design and execution. It sold for $355,600 , more than ten times it's low estimate.
