Daniel Pink is a name that will be familiar to many who work in jewelry. He’s been a speaker at past American Gem Society Conclaves and was at the Atlanta Jewelry Show in August giving workshops on his book “To Sell Is Human.”

Bessie Wallis Warfield, later known as the Duchess of Windsor, had one of the most spectacular jewelry collections of all time. It brought in $50 million at Sotheby’s in 1987 and was the most expensive private jewelry collection ever sold at auction, until, of course, Elizabeth Taylor’s collection went up on the block.
In this new book, Morton goes behind the duchess’s public persona to reveal a woman with a complex personality who grappled with matters of the heart—Edward VIII gave up the throne for her, and she is quoted as saying, “You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance”—and strove to determine her own fate.
