Ever wonder what how the story of Romeo and Juliet might have played out had instead of dying, they defied their families and eloped? If this engrossing memoir is any indication, happily ever after might have proved elusive. The Romeo here is Cornelius “Neily” Vanderbilt (a great grandson and the heir-apparent of the legendary Commodore). His star-crossed lover is the beautiful and gregarious Grace Wilson. They married against the wishes of his parents—a mystery since Grace was from a charming but respectable family (albeit with a reputation for social climbing). Partially disinherited, Neily and Grace still manage to live lavishly, and Grace, through sheer force of will, gradually became the Mrs. Vanderbilt of her generation. With mid-20th Century hindsight, their son, Cornelius, Jr., fascinatingly relates this Gilded Age story. Relying memory, personal records and family archives, he makes the case that his Vanderbilt grandparents were correct; Grace and Cornelius were not well suited. This English edition has a catchier title than its American counterpart and the better dust jacket illustration, featuring the massive malachite vase at 634 Fifth Avenue, the vast Vanderbilt chateau, which Neily and Grace inherited despite their ostracism (courtesy of an irrevocable trust). The author is their son, who became a journalist and author.

Great value, great product!
I use this as a home jewelry box - I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so it fits my needs perfectly. Its pretty lightweight and would be good for travels as well. The outside is leather-like and seems to be waterproof so far. I use the first layer for jewelery and second layer to store my hairclips and pins. I've had it for a few months and it seems to be great quality and durable! Definitely a good value as well because I've seen similar jewelry boxes sold at popular retail stores for over $30.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
