I almost forgot! Thank you, Maggie -- I had posted it on my Instagram and had been oogling the gems. Can't wait to see what these beauties sell for!

I would love to see these items in person. And, wouldn't it be fun just to hold them in your hands, too, just for a brief moment, and wonder where and when she wore them. It would be truly amazing! Thank you for sharing, Maggie.

Thanks for sharing . This pendant sold for more than $36 million. Opening bid was $1 million.

Oh, the brooches!

What a find, prices are astounding, but the importance and beauty of such a collection can not be denied.
