Helen Hayes's Verdura for Chanel cuff

[Ranch Queen Vintage]

"To say that this is a rare piece is an understatement..."
This guest always thought her colorful family heirloom, a Verdura for Chanel cuff once owned by her great-great aunt and Hollywood legend Helen Hayes, looked like pirates treasure. But little did she know just how precious her jewel-encrusted cuff really was until she brought it to ANTIQUES ROADSHOW in 2021. Discover what happened next in this clip from "Extraordinary Finds 3."
