Legendary Actress Merle Oberon Received from Her Fiance Alexander Korda (a Film Director) 3 Exquisite Cartier Diamond & Gold Rose Clips - one with Diamond Pistils set "En Tremblant" - on Her Wedding Day in 1939

When movie director Alexander Korda wed legendary beauty Merle Oberon, on their wedding day in 1939, he presented her with three exquisite diamond and gold brooches from Cartier. According to Famous Jewelry Collectors by Stefano Papi & Alexandra Rhodes, each brooch was of a rose - two were a pair, and the third and largest rose had en tremblant diamond-covered pistils. She was shot in them by Horst (picture on right from www.corbis.com) for Vogue.

When Queen Elizabeth married Prince Philip, the Nizam of Hyderabad and Berar sent her a tiara containing two Cartier diamond clips - identical to Oberon's.
