The Harrods Crowns Auction.


Harrods Diamond Jubilee window display crowns, designed by Lanvin, Valentino, Roberto Cavalli and Paul Smith are now up for auction.  The crowns were commissioned for Harrods’ Diamond Jubilee window displays earlier in the year. Each designer put their own unique spin on their design.

At Lanvin, Alber Elbaz lent his token flamboyance to his embellished and bejewelled crown, while likewise, Roberto Cavalli opted for crystal studding.  Valentino kept things elegant with just a touch of sparkle, while designer Paul Smith went for the fun approach: covering his with memorabilia from the last 60 years.

The auction opens for bids from today until 5 August. Winning bidders will be notified by the 8th August 2012. To enter your bid just email crownauction@harrods.com.  Bidding starts at £50. All the proceeds from the auction will go to Macmillan Cancer Support (Check out the full gallery on Facebook).

Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Whiskey.


Monarchists with deep pockets and a fine palate for scotch could toast to the queen with her very own blended spirit.  Distiller John Walker & Sons will be bottling 60 crystal decanters of Diamond Jubilee Blended Scotch Whisky to mark the Queen‘s 60 years on the throne next year.  The grain and malt whiskies have been maturing in a marrying cask of English oak from the Queen’s Sandringham Estate since 1952.  The 60 crystal decanters will be sold for a pretty pence at £100,000 at a private sale by invitation only.  All profits from the sale will be donated to the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, with a guarantee of £1 million. The trust offers scholarships and mentorship programs to support traditional craftsmanship.  The amber liquor will be presented in lead crystal decanter adorned with a Britannia silver collar, featuring a half-carat diamond set by hand, and a numbered seal.  It also comes with a pair of hand-engraved lead crystal glasses and a leather-bound, hand-embellished artifact book.  Sixty bottles of the Diamond Jubilee by John Walker & Sons will be bottled on February 6, 2012, exactly 60 years to the day since the Queen took to the throne.
