Caroline Ryan – granddaughter of Thomas Fortune Ryan, co-founder of the American Tobacco Company and the 10th richest man in America during his lifetime – grew up with wealth. Married and divorced three times, Caroline Ryan Foulke was accustomed to having things done exactly as she wanted them, whether it was in her extensive philanthropy or her personal life.
When she wanted jewelry, for example, she sat down at Van Cleef and Arpels or Harry Winston and had them make the jewelry to suit her impeccable taste for simplicity and elegance.
