Hello Shareholders and Fans,
Every year, some amazing new pieces are brought into Borsheims for Berkshire Hathaway. This year a historic jewel will be for sale – the Vanderbilt Rose, which has not been for sale for more than one year and a half. But it will be back on the market at this weekend! This historic jewel with royal provenance consists of 250 carats of diamonds. No other piece is comparable in size or importance, making it the most significant piece of French jewelry in today’s market.
The Vanderbilt Rose was created in 1855, it’s original owner was the niece of Napoleon Bonaparte, Princess Mathilde Bonaparte. Known as a bright individual, Mathilde owned one of the most distinguished literary and artistic salons in Paris during the Second Empire. After her death in 1904, the Vanderbilt Rose was auctioned off and sold by Cartier to Cornelius Vanderbilt III. As the “Queen of New York Society,” the jewel became her signature adornment.
To see this amazing piece of history and many other one-of-a-kind jewels, make sure to visit Borsheims this weekend!
See you soon,
Bill, the blogger
