Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This week brought even more exciting royal jewelry auction news from Sotheby’s. Along with a spectacular diamond necklace, the upcoming Royal & Noble Jewels sale will feature pieces from the former royal family of Bulgaria, including this fabulous bejeweled tie pin.
Sotheby’s announced this week that they’ll soon be auctioning off a remarkable diamond necklace from the Georgian period–and they’ve hinted that there are possible connections to the doomed French queen, Marie Antoinette, and the famous Affair of the Diamond Necklace.
Botswana has been in the news in recent weeks for an astonishingly large diamond find in one of its mines. But the nation’s diamond industry is also producing slightly more modest stones, including this fascinating pair of twin diamonds set to be sold this month at Sotheby’s.
