Crown Jeweler, Asprey & Garrard, London, Creator of the Titanic Necklace

Here in the U.S., the company is perhaps more commonly known for an association with members of Hollywood's "royalty": the film industry. Links of London Jewellery Edward Asprey flew in from London to personally dress the stars in Asprey and Garrard jewelry. The name Asprey & Garrard will be forever linked to its creation last year of the authentic "Heart of the Ocean" necklace featured in the film "Titanic," and later worn by singer Celine Dion at the Academy Awards.
