The Adin Museum Of Fairy Tale Artifacts reveals historic secret: We know what was Nappy holding in his right hand!

Once upon a time... it must have been shortly before Valentine's Day when Napoleon's court painter took an instant snapshot of the emperor on his way to the woman he loved. Napoleon, with a jewel in his right hand, instinctively hid the jewel under his waistcoat.

For a long time, the existence of this jewel has been a source of dispute among jewellery historians around the world. It's only recently that Mr. Elkan Wijnberg, chief conservator of the Adin Antique Jewellery Museum of Fairy Tale Artefacts, revealed what it was.

Mr. Wijnberg told us: "Napoleon, being way ahead of his time, loved jewellery from the 1950s. And what better way to express his emotions to the woman of his dreams than by offering her a pendant with the romantic text: 'Because I love you more and more each day, today more than yesterday but less than tomorrow'. It is not a public secret that Napoleon, a man of few words, preferred to speak French above English, thus the text was translated into '+ qu'hier et - que demain'."

Now, it is with great pride and ultimate joy that the Adin Antique Jewellery Museum of Fairy Tale Artefacts exhibits the actual piece of jewellery that Napoleon held in his right hand in this picture.
