December 2011

If Pepsi-Cola is your favorite, how about bidding for a 2 1/8-inch brooch shaped like a Pepsi bottle. It's a gold, ruby, emerald, and diamond piece of jewelry that belonged to Joan Crawford. Some of her belongings are being auctioned Dec. 7 by Doyle New York. Or, if you can afford it, try bidding on some of Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry. The 33.19-carat diamond ring she received from Richard Burton is estimated at $2.5 million to $3.5 million. Maybe you would prefer the 16th-century La Peregrina pearl set in a necklace with rubies and diamonds. The pearl was part of the crown jewels of Spain and was worn by many Spanish queens. Estimated value: $2 million to $3 million. The first of the four-day series of sales will be held Dec. 13 at Christie's in New York City. The sale is estimated to bring in more than $30 million.
