At Christie’s, of course.

She really did have a remarkable collection. But I think she’s one of the few people who could wear these items without being outshone by them:

I’m putting together my Christmas list together now. In the clothing section I like the black cape with the scorpions.

I’ll take the emerald and diamond flower brooch, please. I should probably get the emerald and diamond earrings, too, so the brooch doesn’t get lonely.

Way too soon after the Joan Crawford auction. But I’d kill to own that “Night of the Iguana” brooch.

I’d be all over the charm bracelets and the daisy parure.

I also like the “Ping Pong” diamonds - the story behind them is sweet.
