R: An enamel and diamond ring I inherited from my grandmother that belonged to Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria-monogrammed with an L, her initial. I wear it to parties I think she’d like to attend. Perhaps most memorable- When I was working at Sotheby’s, my first job, and barely eating because I was making close to minimum wage, a friend and I went to a Badgley Mishka sample sale at 9AM-straight from a very long, fun evening out. Still tipsy, I bought the most beautiful gold metallic evening gown that cost my month’s rent. I had absolutely nowhere to wear it, and I was shocked at myself the next day. Twenty-five years later I still wear the dress, it’s fabulous. I met a woman at a party in the same dress and she said she bought it to wear to the White House to meet Bill Clinton.
