Reality TV star Kim Kardashian bought a necklace once owned by Princess Diana for almost $200,000.
The 42-year-old reality superstar has reportedly purchased the diamond-encrusted amethyst Attallah cross pendant once worn by the late royal, who died in a car crash in 1997 at the age of 36, for $197,453 (160,000) at Sotheby’s annual Royal and Noble auction, ‘People’ has confirmed.
In a statement, Sotheby London’s Head of Jewelery, Kristian Spofforth, said: “This is a bold piece of jewelery by its size, color, and style which cannot fail to make a vibrant statement, whether it be of faith or fashion — or indeed We are delighted that this piece has found a new lease of life within the hands of another globally famous name.”
The outlet went on to allege that Kim Kardashian is “honoured to own a fine piece of jewelery owned by the late princess”, who wore the necklace to a 1987 charity gala in London and matched it with a purple Victorian velvet gown which was designed by Catherine Walker.
A press release describing the pendant, which has not been seen in public since before Princess Diana’s death, read: “The cross-shaped pendant, thought to be a one-off private commission by Garrard for one of their regular clients, is a bold and colorful piece set with square-cut amethysts and accented by circular-cut diamonds.”
“The cross has a total diamond weight of approximately 5.25 carats and measures approximately 136 x 95mm. It is understood that the cross was only ever worn by the princess, and following her death, it was never seen in public again until now.”
