From Shirley Temple, to you, with love.

The Shirley Temple Blue Diamond ring is seeking a new owner. Weighing an impressive 9.54 carats, the charming cushion-cut Fancy Blue Diamond ring was purchased by the child star’s father George Temple for $7,210 in 1940 as the film The Blue Bird was completed. Just in time for the actress’ 12th birthday.
Ring is awesome in person, we spied it at tonight’s inaugural reception of the auction house’s smashing new Los Angeles digs in Century City.

You are much more than a mere mortal, Flo. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Now THAT’s a ring. A bit much for a twelve-year-old, perhaps, but truly beautiful. Maybe QVC will bring out a replica at a price we mere mortals can afford.
