Overview

• In a cover story for Only Natural Diamonds magazine, Shields announced she will bequeath her fine jewelry to her 19-year-old daughter Grier.
• She cited her elder daughter Rowan’s history of misplacing every piece she received as the reason for excluding her from the inheritance.
• Shields praised Grier’s understanding of each piece’s craftsmanship, provenance and the stories behind luxury jewelry houses.
• Her own passion for diamonds was inspired by her mother Teri’s advice to buy personal gems rather than wait to receive them from a partner.
• Both daughters have previously borrowed items from Shields’s personal archive, including red-carpet gowns for prom and a modified bridal ensemble for a school event.
