Gem Pursuit

Icons of Jewellery: Evalyn Walsh McLean


Listen Later

The life of Evalyn Walsh McLean - a mining heiress and socialite in the early 20th century - is perhaps the quintessential story of the American dream.

Her Jewellery Icon status was never in doubt due to her ownership of two of the most legendary diamonds in history - the Hope Diamond and the Star of the East.

Matthew and Alyce also discuss the curse of the Hope Diamond and its origins, while Alyce makes it very clear how she feels about jewellery thieves.
