As for the youtube clip what fascinated me most was the diamond shaped heart Abraham Lincoln purchased for his wife in April 1862. It cost a fortune for it's time and is one of the most exquisite pieces of jewelry I have ever seen.
I too loved the diamond shaped heart. Lincoln bought Mary a number of lovely and expensive pieces of jewelry.
