此套首饰含手链、胸针、耳饰、戒指,为余东璇夫妇旧物。余东璇挑选蓝宝石后赠送爱妻,余太太廖正亲自设计,式样为上世纪三十年代流行的ArtDeco装饰艺术凤格。1936年,余氏夫妇在香港半山新宅落成合影时,廖女士即佩戴此套首饰。余家30年代迁至香港定居,有众多商业地产及豪华别墅。至1932年,余东旋在香港已拥有约100块地皮。随着世界经济萧条,他又趁低吸纳,买入近300块地,全部位于中区、跑马地、浅水湾等处。余东璇义助年轻的邵逸夫50万银元到香港开创邵氏影业帝国,至今传为美谈。此后邵逸夫联合其子余经纬等,又创办了香港无线电视TVB。这套首饰后归余东璇之女,即上海滩“金子大王”王伯元之儿媳。
余东璇(1877-1941),曾经闻名遐迩的新加坡首富,新加坡有以之命名的道路。他继承父业,将生意遍布东南亚,涉及矿山、银行、地产、橡胶、药业、影视等。1941去逝时谌称亚洲首富,五十年后会计事务所才完成全部资产清理。
王伯元(1893-1977)名怀忠,浙江慈溪人。少时早慧擅长心算,14岁时进金号当学徒,23岁时被聘为涵恒金号的经理,后任天昌祥金号副经理。民国10年创办裕发永金号,自任经理,入股多家金号。因在标金买卖中,判断行市准确,手法不凡,成为巨富,被誉为“金子大王”。其巨额资财投有钱庄、银行、银公司、保险公司和工厂等。王伯元教子有方,儿子均毕业于美国著名大学,在上海有一门四子偕博士的美誉。王家与余家结亲,这套首饰成为两家子女的家族珍藏。
