Imelda Marcos Loses Her Bling

Poor Imelda, first her shoes and now this! Her jewelry collection will be auctioned off this November. One of the jewelry items in the auction includes a " 150.01 carat Burmese ruby pendant and an ornate earrings, necklace and braceletlinks set." Just the ruby pendant alone from this set is estimated to be worth $290,000. Now, of course, the former first lady hasn't been wearing this jewelry in years because she " surrendered [it] to the Philippine government in 1991," but still, they do have sentimental value, which is one reason Ms. Marcos has filed a petition to stop the auction.

Some of the other items in the collection include:

  • diamond-encrusted bracelet and earrings

  • a piece with a 37.5 carat diamond

  • two diamond-studded tiaras

  • one diamond and pearl tiara

  • several Swiss watches



You can view some of the fabulous, jaw-dropping jewelry pieces she owned on this website: Jewels of Imelda Marcos.

I have to say, I love the ruby jewelry she owned. My two picks are the pearl bow pendant accented with rubies and the ruby and diamond bracelet, both pictured on the above site.

  • 'I very much enjoy your blog and the fine pieces of jewelry.'

    I work with for Cartier [...] I am familiar with your jewelry blog and I thought you would be interested to know (if you don't already) that Cartier is re-launching their iconic LOVE collection.

    Very interesting!
