Jewelry Auctions

Fine jewelry shows up in high-profile auctions worldwide, and pieces that receive the most publicity are usually items formerly owned by royalty and celebrities. Sales prices don't seem to suffer, even during times of economic hardship -- it isn't unusual for jewelry of the well-known to sell for many times more than its estimated value.

Take a look at some of the fine and famous jewelry that's hit the auction block in recent years.
