A fancy-coloured diamond and diamond ring
Footnotes
Accompanied by a GIA report stating that the diamond weighing 11.30 carats is Fancy Yellow colour, VS1 clarity. Report number 2205688929, dated 25 October 2019.
From the collection of Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE.
"One of Bob's favourite places to lie in the sun was Capri in Italy. He also liked it for another reason... the many fine jewellery shops! His favourite was the lovely boutique called Alberto e Lina. According to Bob, they truly had the best collection of fine jewellery and watches. This is where he bought me the 11.30 carat yellow diamond ring flanked by diamond baguettes. He had secretly been to purchase it without my knowing and, just before we went to lunch, he took hold of my hand, kissed it and slipped on the ring which he took out of his pocket. I was amazed and speechless when I saw it gleaming on my hand. I stood up and kissed him on the cheek and exclaimed, "It's a real Bobby Dazzler!" Bob smiled that lovely smile of his and replied, "I'm glad you love it as much as I do". I wore the ring for many, many years but for the last few years I reverted to my sapphire engagement ring. It's too gorgeous a diamond to sit in the safe and I want someone else to enjoy it as much as I have."
