Royal Brooch To Be Sold At Auction

Prince Edward of Wales certainly knew how to show his love for Wallis Simpson. The man who gave up a kingdom for love, gave the object of his affection this amazing Cartier brooch with their initials W and E done is rubies and sapphires. The brooch is now for sale again at Bonhams in London on Dec. 7. The auction has an estimate of up to 35,000 pounds ($67,729), lower than the $95,333 it brought when it was first on the market in the 1980s. The brooch was purchased from Sotheby’s in 1987 by the Daily Mail newspaper and was won in a Daily Mail poetry competition by Percy and Vera Brindley and auctioned by Bonhams in 2000.
