This is an obvious moment that vintage jewelry never goes out of style. Exquisite jewel pieces belonging to Wallis Simpson, the wife of King Edward VIII, sold for $12.5 million U.S. dollars at a London auction. 

Dating back to the 1930s and 1940s, diamonds, emeralds, and rubies highlighted the collection of brooches and bracelets. 

Metal-free knockoffs hopefully soon to come to our fave chain stores.
