From diamonds to Daimlers, banquets to yachts, a garden planted with porcelain roses, a giraffe gifted to a king, a town presented to a queen, a mantle sewn with 45,000 feathers, verse carved on rubies, a house built of vapor, a cathedral carved of salt, a temple clad in gold, a mansion traded for a strand of pearls, and tea served in a $36 million cup, here is luxury as pleasure, luxury as fabulous, luxury as beyond.
