If These Jewels Could Talk: The Legends Behind Celebrity Gems
“When some of Dietrich’s jewels were put up for sale at Christie’s auction house after her death, a story was recalled that once, at a dinner party at the home of actress Katharine Cornell, Dietrich took off her 37.41-carat cabochon emerald ring, while she was helping bake a cake in the kitchen, and then realized that it was gone. The other guests helped her look for the ring–which was stamped with “T&HM”–turning the dinner party into a treasure hunt. It was only during dessert that the ring was discovered by one of the other guests–inside a piece of the cake!”
