This could've gone in about three or four different forums, but I wanted more folks to see the photos.

Our family is “all-in” recently with Hamilton and it inspired us to learn more about LaFayette. So then, of course, we’re reading up on the French Revolution ... I would LOVE to be at this exhibit and auction!

Apparently I am related to Marie Antoinette so maybe I should claim my inheritance!

I’ve been reading up on her and what happened is sad.

The estimates seem abnormally low - giant natural pearl & diamond drop earrings - $30-50k? I don't think so.
