A necklace from Jackie Kennedy’s personal collection has just gone under the hammer for a starting bid of $5,000.
The Christian Dior piece, which features six gradated strands of faux coral beads on a gold-plated square-linked chain, was a different look for the former First Lady, who was known for her penchant for pearl necklaces.
Made in Germany in 1973, the necklace is open for bidding on the Nate D Sanders website until Thursday at 5pm Pacific time.
It came to the auction house via the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis estate sale at Sotheby’s in Los Angeles in April 1996.
Several other pieces from her jewelry collection were put under the hammer during this auction, including a pair of matte gold leaf-shaped earring studs designed by Kenneth Jay Lane.
