FROM time immemorial jewellery has always had a fascination for people. It is the ultimate declaration of love, as we saw recently with the auction of Elizabeth Taylor's fabulous jewels, including the famous 33.19-carat diamond ring, and the pearl necklet known as La Peregrina, which was once worn by Mary Tudor and later by Spanish queens Margarita and Isabel. It was also painted by the 17th Century Spanish artist Velazquez.
