owned by exiled Romanian King Carol II,
it was only when the lucky couple had their home looked at by auctioneers pricing up other heirlooms from their Wiltshire home that their true value was discovered, the experts were stunned and said the find was a once-in-a-lifetime discovery, the marble-sized pearls, which dangle from a row of diamonds, are white with rose and blue overtones and are incredibly rare due to their size,
now the good bit, Jonathan Edwards, of Woolley and Wallis auction rooms in Salisbury, Wilts., said they were the highlight of his 35 years in the jewellery business, the earrings have a pre-sale estimate of £120,000 but the antiques expert predicted they could fetch five times that, yes half a million UK £'s! I am sure some one some where has an old jewellery box with another set lurking in it, I just wish it was me!
