just a nice emerald necklace ..

The March 24 issue of La Otra Cronica, published by El Mundo, includes a rather interesting article about the sale of the jewels of Aline, Countess of Romanones.  One of the many items up for auction was a stunning emerald necklace. 

The necklace sold for 257,000 Euros ... and was purchased by ....

Corinna Prinzessin zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn ...  hmmm!

I didn't know Aline Romanones had died. I enjoyed her books when they first came out, although I recall reading a lot of subsequent criticism that she inflated her wartime role a bit.

I killed her. I am sorry .. Now she's alive again, a miracle.

Is this a new auction of yet more of her jewels or late breaking news about the May 2011 Sotheby's auction of some of the Countess's impressive jewellery?

More about who bought the necklace - it became public at the end of March - and now a bit more relevant considering Corinna's new found fame!
