If you could choose an artefact/s from history which would you love to have?

I would love to have Anne's Boleyn necklace, Mary Tudor's ring she passed to Elizabeth, Mary Stuart's rosary.

How I would love to own any of these items Wink

I think I'd like to have Anne's Book of Hours.  Elizabeth's last letter from Dudley, a pair of her gloves, and her “E” ring.  From Henry, his letters to Anne.

I'd love to have the la peregrina pearl given to Mary I by Philip and until recently owned by Elizabeth Taylor.  I think its part of the auction on her jewels.  Oh, if only I had a spare million dollars…. !

More than that – they were talking about this on the news the other day, and it went for $11.8 million!

http://www.hellomagazine.com/f…..1-million/

 

And according to Wikipedia (I know), it only picked up its name in 1813.

Damn it, you beat me to it, Bella. Wink

 

OK, how about a pic of La Liz in AotTD?
