abstract:Mary Taylor is a former utility who played from through in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She batted and threw right-handed.
Inspired by a 16th century portrait of Mary Queen of Scots, who wore it as a pendant to a brooch, Taylor commissioned Cartier to design a new mount of matched natural pearls and rubies, designed by Al Durante.
She also somehow got her husbands to buy her some of the rarest and most expensive jewelry in the world, including the 33 karat Krupp Diamond, the 69 karat Taylor-Burton Diamond, and the La Peregrina Pearl, once owned by Queen Mary I.
