Kate Moss` engagement ring has Zelda Fitzgerald connection
Kate's fiance Jamie Hince is said to have spent ages trying to find an original diamond ring worn by Zelda, the wife of writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, who is famous for her hell-raising lifestyle, but eventually had to have a copy made.
The 37-year-old was spotted wearing the band at a London concert this week.
A source told British newspaper The Sun: 'Jamie went to great lengths to bowl Kate over with the ring. It couldn't be any old sparkler, and he knows how fascinated she is by Zelda.'
It has also been reported that Moss could get hitched in Paris where the Fitzgeralds lived.
The source added: 'The big 'kapow' moment between them happened in Paris. They see it as their place.
'She knows Zelda spent a lot of time there and, in the spirit of the ring, Kate is talking about having the whole wedding themed around the 1920s. She wants a vintage gown and that will avoid offending anyone by picking one particular designer.'
The Last Flapper
Strolling the shady streets of Montford in downtown Asheville, one may happen upon a large, grey stone building at the mouth of Zillicoa St. that was once on the grounds of the Highland Mental Hospital. The hospital was, during the ‘30s and ‘40s, where Zelda Fitzgerald, writer and wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, spent the last years of her life. Her husband committed Zelda to the hospital in 1936 after she developed what was then considered schizophrenia. Zelda lived in the local hospital for twelve years, all the while F. Scott Fitzgerald would stay at the Grove Park Inn when visiting his wife.
On March 10, 1948, in the kitchen of a house on the grounds, a fire broke out and spread through the house, killing nine women, including Zelda Fitzgerald.
The Last Flapper is the story of Zelda Fitzgerald’s last day, based on her letters and stories, written by William Luce. The HART Studio Theatre in Waynesville will be presenting The Last Flapper on Feb. 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. and on Feb. 6 at 3 p.m. The story of one of the most influential women of the roaring twenties will be in the Fletcher Studio Theatre: tickets are $5 for students and $8 for adults.
