In the first episode of the new Icons of Jewellery series, Matthew and Alyce look at the life and legacy of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his immense influence on jewellery.
Alyce finds some big clues to Napoleon's attachment style in his love letters to Josephine while Matthew has ample opportunities to display his command of the French language.
We also discuss the incredible two-stone 'moi et toi' engagement ring, his so-called 'push present' to his second wife Marie-Louise, the meaning and significance behind his famous laurel leaf crown and why he intentionally made the Pope's crown too small.
