Only one of Brooke Shields’ pretty babies will be inheriting her coveted jewelry collection.
The Suddenly Susan alum revealed she plans to leave all of her diamonds to 19-year-old daughter Grier Henchy because her oldest child, 22-year-old Rowan Henchy, “has lost every piece I’ve ever given her.”
“I literally cannot do it again,” she quipped to Only Natural Diamonds in an interview published June 5, adding that Grier is more passionate about jewelry craftsmanship and “understands the difference between real and ‘real.'”
“It’s not about the gold or diamonds alone,” continued Brooke, who shares her kids with husband Chris Henchy, “she sees the history, the workmanship, the story behind the institution of these houses.”
And the 60-year-old has always viewed precious gems as family heirlooms. After all, she got her first-ever diamond from mom Teri Shields, who passed away in 2012.
“My mom always said, ‘Buy yourself your own diamond—don’t wait to be given one from a man,'” Brooke explained. “My mom bought me my first emerald-cut diamond. It’s very beautiful, and I got it set in a Verdura cuff.”
