Critics Review

Bernstein’s book…is loaded with stories behind dozens of high-profile jewels. Taylor’s La Peregrina pearl? Check. The Duchess of Windsor’s holly brooch from King Edward VIII? Yes. The Cartier Daisy diamond engagement ring from the first The Great Gatsby film? You Bet. Rudy Valentino’s own Cartier tank watch worn in The Son of the Sheik? Yup, that, too. – Jennifer Heebner Style 360, JCK, November 10, 2015 The book shines like a well cut stone in several ways. – Laurel Marcus New York Fashion Cool-Aid, November 20, 2015 Bernstein is a gifted storyteller who offers history, gossip, and biographical information on the jewelry itself, its various owners, and possibly even the provenance of a particularly large stone. – Jeffrey Felner New York Journal of Books
