On this episode of Sotheby’s Stories, Frank Everett tells the tale of a sale so sharp it left a mark — literally. It’s 2017, Shaun Leane’s avant-garde jewels made for iconic fashion designer Alexander McQueen are about to hit the block, and one rogue Crown of Thorns turns the install into a full-contact sport. There were legendary pieces, couture icons, and a near disaster involving several thousand dollars of metal and one very human hand. Let’s just say Frank poured his blood, sweat, and tears into this one… and only some of it was metaphorical.
