Goddess saves the Queens
US Weekly reported last week that the pearl earrings that Madonna wears in the ads for her upcoming re-Invention Tour – in which she dresses up as the 18th century monarch Marie Antoinette – were taken from the queen’s actual crown.
“They are rare natural pearls, one brown, one white, and at least 20 millimeters,” revealed Los Angeles jeweler Neil Lane, who lent the jewels from his private collection.
As MadonnaTribe readers remember, this is not the first time Madonna wears vintage jewelry from Lane’s collection. In the Hollywood video she used a vintage bracelet that once adorned the wrist of a Hollywood legend, Mae West. She also choose to complete her look in last years’ GAP commercial dressing herself up with more than $5 million in diamond jewelry, also from Neil Lane.
