The Duchess of Baroda's love for jewelry actually stems from her family situation. At that time, the father of the Grand Duchess was the owner of a state in India. She had more opportunities to get in touch with these luxuries since she was a child. Her father bought her a lot of jewels without hesitation. And her later love experience made her qualified to collect jewelry. At that time, the Grand Duchess, who had a family, fell in love with the then Indian Crown Prince Singh at first sight at a party. Later, both of them gave up their families and came together. At that time, their marriage caused great repercussions in India. In order to quell rumors and lead a quiet life, Prince Singh led the Grand Duchess to visit Europe and live in Europe for a long time.
Europe is a jewel resort. After the Grand Duchess of Baroda came to Europe, she had the opportunity to get in touch with more exquisite jewelry and more skilled jewelers. At that time, the Duchess's favorite jewelry store was Van Cleef & Arpels. To show her respect, Van Cleef & Arpels even named a very precious diamond after the Duchess's youngest son. The Grand Duchess has a necklace called Baroda Necklace, which is by far the most expensive necklace in the jewelry auction. This necklace is inlaid with diamonds and precious stones from the crown of the Grand Duke of Baroda. It is very precious. The Grand Duchess also has an emerald ring weighing 37.82 carats, which is the best emerald ring in the world and has been collected at present.
Moreover, the Grand Duchess carries a big box with her everywhere, which is full of jewels. Therefore, she is called? A walking jewelry box? This is not surprising!
