Diamond necklace Geneva auction sees mystery piece fetch $4.8 million, drawing global attention at the high-profile jewelry sale.
A mysterious diamond-laden necklace with possible links to a scandal that contributed to the downfall of Marie Antoinette, sold for $4.8 million at an auction in Geneva Wednesday.
The unidentified buyer, who put in her bid over the phone, was"ecstatic", Andres White Correal, chairman of the Sotheby's jewellery department, told AFP."There is obviously a niche in the market for historical jewels with fabulous provenances... People are not only buying the object, but they're buying all the history that is attached to it," he said.
Describing the massive Georgian-era piece as"rare and highly important", Sotheby's said it had likely been created in the decade preceding the French Revolution. Sotheby's said it was likely that some of the diamonds featured in the piece came from the famous necklace from the scandal that engulfed Marie Antoinette just a few years before she was guillotined.
