London:
American actuality tv star and social media colossus Kim Kardashian has bought the Attallah Cross, the amethyst and diamond pendant famously worn on a number of events by Princess Diana, in response to the public sale home Sotheby’s. The piece, made within the Twenties by the British jeweller Garrard, offered for 163,800 kilos ($202,300) in the course of the public sale home’s “Royal and Noble” sale in London on Wednesday. The pendant – which Diana notably wore to a 1987 charity gala – fetched greater than twice the pre-auction minimal estimate, with Sotheby’s confirming it was purchased by a consultant on behalf of Kardashian.
“Jewellery owned or worn by the late Princess Diana very rarely comes on to the market, especially a piece such as the Attallah Cross, which is so colourful, bold and distinctive,” Sotheby’s Kristian Spofforth mentioned earlier than the sale.
“To some extent, this unusual pendant is symbolic of the princess’s growing self-assurance in her sartorial and jewellery choices, at that particular moment in her life.”
The pendant is not going to be the primary piece of style historical past to cross paths with Kim Kardashian.
Last 12 months, the 42-year-old made headlines for attending the Met Gala within the very costume worn by Marilyn Monroe when she serenaded then-president John F Kennedy on his birthday in 1962.
Kardashian was initially accused of getting broken the display screen legend’s robe, however Los Angeles-based museum Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, which owns the piece, denied the allegations.
