This exhibit, made up of one of the most important private collections of its kind in North America, marks the simultaneous opening of the ROM’s Teck Suite of Galleries: Earth’s Treasures in the Weston Family Wing. Culled from the collection of former Apple Computer president Michael Scott, the booty on display is fulsome enough to make even Elizabeth Taylor envious: the Queen of Kilimanjaro tiara, for instance, boasts the largest faceted tanzanite gem in the world—set in 18-karat white gold, and surrounded by diamonds and garnets numbering in the thousands.—David Balzer
