Let´s cross the fingers !!!! --Previous Message-- : The beautiful diamond brooch of Empress : Eugénie, once part of the amazing : currant-leaf parure of the French Crown : Jewels (see our previous thread at : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/thread/1412840602.html : ), was sold on 11th November in Geneva, at : Christie's, for 2 million US$ (1.9 million : Swiss Francs). It is the bottom price of : Christie's estimate, which was between 2 and : 3 million US$. : : Unfortunately, I could find no information : about the lucky new owner of this brooch. Of : course, my dream would be that the Louvre : Museum won the bid, but I have found no : information in this sense. Has anyone more : information? : : Thanks in advance! : : Arthur : : : : (credit: Keystone, via www.lalsace.fr and : www.lematin.ch) :
