Do you want to buy the jewels of a legend? For example, the famous hand-painted fake glass pearls of Jackie Kennedy Onassis? Of course, it is a reproduction, like the other objects for sale on SmithsonianStore.com, all inspired by the collections of the Museum of American History in Washington. One of these collections has also been transformed into an exhibition, called The First Ladies, and the section dedicated to Jackie is the most visited. Nothing strange, given that she has gone down in history as an icon of classic elegance with a sophisticated style. Even in wearing and matching the jewels that are best sellers online. Like the engagement bracelet that John F. Kennedy gave her for accepting his marriage proposal. Or the Tiffany earrings studded with diamonds with black Tahitian pearls received for the first wedding anniversary. The last gift was a mesh bracelet with a pavé of 50 diamonds, in thanks for the help in organizing the electoral campaign. Sapphires, diamonds and platinum for the Cartier earrings and bracelet set, a gift from Aristotle Onassis, who loved to surprise her with extravagant gifts. And breathtaking too: the Royal Egg bracelet was made by Tiffany for Easter 1969, a riot of diamonds, rubies, amethysts and sapphires, which represented the colors of the European royal families. The prices of the reproductions, available online? From 55 to 165 dollars.
