Today Jewelrykg is going to bring you a story about jewelry, it is a story about Napoleon. Please bear with me as I tell you, I believe he will make you feel more deeply about jewelry.

In 2013, a solid gold ring set with diamonds and pear-shaped sapphires was sold at auction in the Parisian suburb of Aucena and fetched £660,000 (about RMB 6.23 million), 50 times more than the original estimate. Why was this gold ring, set with just two stones of less than one carat, so hot and fetching so much money? Let's go back in time and discover the old dreams of the ring.

This ring is the ring that Napoleon Bonaparte, the illustrious monarch of European history and Emperor of the French Empire, proposed to his first wife, Josephine Beauharnais, in 1796.

Josephine, the love of Napoleon's life, was so passionately in love with her that he wrote her countless love letters and sent her countless precious jewels to confess his love.

Josephine married her brother-in-law, French nobleman Alexander, at the age of 16. Unfortunately, her husband was guillotined by the Jacobins, leaving Josephine and a pair of children behind. When he met Josephine, Napoleon, who had won a war, was appointed as the commander of the French internal defense forces and had a promising future. Josephine heard about this young, ambitious officer from others and was immediately impressed by his ideals and motivation.

She began to use her son as an excuse to approach Napoleon. She asked her son to ask Napoleon, who was then the commander of the internal defense forces, to return the relics left by his father, and Napoleon complied with the boy's request out of compassion and kindness. Josephine then went to Napoleon's house to thank him personally. This first acquaintance was the beginning of Napoleon's love affair with Josephine. Napoleon was so attracted to this beautiful, talented and noble woman that in 1796, at the age of 27, Napoleon proposed to Josephine, who was six years older than him, with the "You and I" ring. Two days after the wedding, Napoleon returned to the Italian front and commanded a poorly trained, loosely organized and poorly equipped French army to defeat the powerful Austrian army, which shocked Europe!
