Hold Tight Bracelet
Designed by Paulette of Van Cleef & Arpels, this ruby and diamond bracelet has 40 burmese rubies. It has a simple and smart design with the Duke’s favorite phrase “Hold Tight” inscribed – an expression often used between the couple to comfort each other in difficult times.A few months before his abdication in 1936, King Edward VIII (Duke of Windsor) presented the bracelet to Wallis Simpson when he asked her present husband, Ernest Simpson, to get a divorce from Wallis so they could marry.
