IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING ITS GOOD TO BE KEN RUSSELL
Over the last 30 years I have had the pleasure of selling things to lots of celebrities . Lucille Ball , Cher , and KEN RUSSELL- were some of my favorites. Ect ect........ Ken loved OVER SIZED faux jewels. The bigger , the better.!!!!!! The day he was here at Galleria J Antonio he was sitting in our big window and we placed what he called THE MAHARAJAH necklace around his neck. He had a twinkle in his eye that beamed with joy when he put something on that sparkled. A man walked in and said " I don't want to bother you Mr. Russell but I went into film, because of your work " Of course Ken just smiled and kept looking at the Hugh crystal at the BOTTOM of endless chains and looked over to this man , with approval. I was informed by my dear friend -Lisi Tribble(-Mrs Ken Russell)- NYC- that he was laid to rest ( cremated )- in ENGLAND- with a Galleria J Antonio necklace that was one of his favorites. It was over 800 carts of rock crystal
