Callas also wore earrings and a bracelet made of round cabochon-cut coral surrounded by rings of round diamonds, cultured pearls, and turquoise set in yellow gold. They were special-ordered from the same jeweler by the soprano’s then-boyfriend, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis (whom she took up with while still married to Meneghini). So which man had better taste? “Her husband, Meneghini,” says Daniela Mascetti, the Sotheby’s international senior jewelry specialist who worked on the 2004 sale of some of Callas’ pieces, including the bag. “He was really the one who gave Maria all the most important items in her collection.”
