$4.3 Million Necklace – Loan for Jewelry Boca Raton

Loan for Jewelry Boca Raton

Imagine buying a necklace for $4.3 million.  Actually, imagine buying anything for $4.3 million!  Spending that much on a house would put you in a huge mansion or penthouse apartment.  $4.3 million is a lot of money.  Now realize that someone this week just spend that much money on a piece of jewelry.  Can you even wear something worth so much?  Wouldn’t you get mugged as soon as you step outside?  One would think.  Maybe they bought it as an investment piece.  OK that would make sense.  But still, if you spent so much hard earned money on something wouldn’t you want to use it?  I would.  I suppose everything is relative.  $4.3 million to me might be like $4,300 to someone else.  If you are worth $1 billion then $4.3 million doesn’t seem like that much.  Loan for jewelry Boca Raton.

If you’re wondering what the necklace looks like, it’s stunning.  In fact, it was once worn by Queen Nazli of Egypt.  It was made in 1939 and as you can imagine looks very Art Deco.  The maker of the necklace is Van Cleef & Arpels.  It is crafted in platinum and features over 600 round and baguette diamond in a sunburst motif.  Nazli had the necklace made along with a tiara for her to wear during her daughter’s wedding.  But believe it or not, the $4.3 million this necklace fetched wasn’t the most expensive piece of jewelry sold at the Sotheby’s auction.  Below are the best lots from last week’s auction.
