It is lovely, I admit. I keep clicking the link to get another look. The price paid is ridiculous, of course.

Samuraisan, best answer to you for being eminently sensible. A girl after my own heart! Happy birthday. :o)

If it was mine I too would sell it to the highest bidding idiot.

Then probably buy a new fridge freezer.

I think 57 Million would probably by you Antarctica Talbot

Square-cut or pear-shaped...... I don't mean rhinestones

[Mamyalynne]

Well she wasn't square cut was she ;-)

[naomi24]

Khandro, Fab-u-lous!!!

Wasn't she just.

[naomi24]

Indeed she was, Tony!!

I've been trying to remember the name of the lucky guy with the cigar, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell and had to check. For anyone interested it was Charles Coburn (as Sir [Piggy] Beekman) in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes', way back in 1953.
I have incidentally a picture of myself in a similar position, but modesty prevents me from sharing it.

Wow, what a stunner. I love diamonds too !

It would look even better on a chain around my neck, nestling in the hollow in my throat, matching the colour of my eyes:-))
