...and yet it looks like a (very bejewelled) soap-on-a-rope??!
The largest flawless, colourless diamond of its type to ever go on sale - 163-carats, no less - has sold at Christie's.
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
"a (very bejewelled) soap-on-a-rope" - yes, yes it does. and a very expensive soap-on-a-rope too!
ReplyDeletebet mistress maddie could rock this little bijou!
I can just imagine Elizabeth Taylor's face: "I'll have it, but make it into a ring or something, for God's sake!"

Well, it proves the saying "Money can't buy taste".
ReplyDeleteOh, yes - I can see it fitting in nicely with this sort of decor. Jx
DeleteI’m not sure but I think the scandalous Madame Du Barry / Marie Antoinette necklace (even more hideous) cost even more.
ReplyDeleteEwww, that is horrid! Of course there have been more expensive jewellery sales ("The Pink Star" sold only this April for £57.3 million!), but this diamond is apparently the largest of its kind ever to go to auction. Jx
DeleteThe CTF Pink? More like the WTF Pink.
Delete"Chow Tai Fook" = "What The Fuck"? It may well be a literal translation... Jx
DeleteThat's one fancy and expensive anal bead.
ReplyDeleteA bit sharp around the edges, I'd imagine. Jx
