Since we’re rocketing towards Christmas, I thought it might be fun to do a little research on the most extravagant jewelry gifts ever presented. I ran across a number of articles on the subject of over-the-top gift-giving throughout history, so I thought I’d just link to the articles here. Whether jewelry, real estate, or monuments, these gifts are not exactly stocking-stuffers.
Note: I know posting “raw” links is not an attractive way to post an article, but since these links will be taking you off-site, away to advertiser land, I decided to leave the actual link intact instead of burying it under text. I found no malware here, but lots of ads, which you may consider to be the same thing.
Anyway, if you enjoy living vicariously through the rich and famous, have fun with these silly articles. Kind of makes every gift I’ve ever given seem pretty pathetic, but the good news is that none of my gifts will ever be the subject of a contested divorce litigation. There’s something to be grateful for.
