Sold and Erased: What Happened to the Lost Onassis Family Jewels?

When the media speaks about the Onassis family, one word almost always comes to mind: rich. Astonishingly rich. But if you imagine Onassis women guarding an enormous collection of diamonds and heirlooms, the truth is rather different. They certainly owned magnificent jewels, enjoyed an extraordinary lifestyle and had access to the world's most celebrated jewelers. Yet behind the diamonds was a complicated family history, and eventually the last heiress decided that those treasures no longer belonged in her life. Why would a woman who inherited an enormous fortune sell her mother's most spectacular diamonds? Did she need the money, or was there another reason?
So, in this video, we walk through two impressive jewelry collections that belonged to Onassis family, and find out what really happened to them.
