Footnotes

From the collection of Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE.

"Bob was a long time client of Verdura in New York, appreciating the fabulous pieces they created from the designs of the late Fulco di Verdura. In particular, he admired the iconic Maltese Cross cuff that the Duke had created for Coco Chanel in the 1930s. Over the years, Verdura went on to reproduce this cuff in special numbered collections. On one visit to the showroom, Bob was shown this limited edition enamel cuff and instantly fell in love with it and so did I when he brought it home and put it on my wrist. It's a real statement piece that matches the multi-gem set pendant brooch that I already had. When I asked Bob, "Why did you buy it for me? It's not my birthday," he just replied, "I can buy you a present every day because I love so much". I remember his words were as important as the jewellery he gave to me."
