Pratapsing Gaekwar, Maharajah of Baroda with the incomparable seven stringed "Baroda Pearls" (a two stringed necklace of the Baroda Pearls was sold in November 2004 at Christie's in Geneva for US 3.1 million!)
And here my absolute favourite picture of a bejewelled man. Queen Mary in all her finery would have looked 'naked' beside this gentleman, The Maharajah of Patiala, Bhupinder Singh ... (I bought a copy of this sitting in format A3 some time ago from the NPG and don't become tired to look at these amazing mount of jewels )
