One of the Newport Summer Cottages, The Breakers has been a glamorous "pile" for one of the Vanderbilts since 1895. Three "ropes" of Antique Diamonds seemed just the right amount of bling for this shawl—when you’re a Vanderbilt, you don’t need to shout. Everything is finished with a beautiful knitted-on edging.
