Happy 75th Birthday to Carmen Martínez-Bordiú, the former Duchess of Franco! She received this magnificent Emerald Tiara and Parure from her grandfather, the Spanish Dictator General Franco, when she married the former King’s grandson, and only discovered that the emeralds were painted glass when she tried to sell it off!
