This necklace is just one of many personal items Kim Kardashian owns from some of the biggest pop culture icons in history.
The reality star purchased a diamond and amethyst-encrusted Attallah cross pendant from Sotheby's annual Royal & Noble auction on Wednesday, a piece of jewelry most famously worn by Princess Diana. The pendant features square-cut amethysts surrounded by circular-cut diamonds weighing 5.25-carats. Kardashian was able to secure this lot for $197,453, which Sotheby's noted was “double its pre-auction estimate.
The late royal wore the accessory multiple times throughout the '80s, most notably pairing it with a dramatic purple Victorian velvet gown by Catherine Walker to attend a gala in 1987 in support of Birthright . According to a press release from Sotheby's, the pendant was originally designed as a one-off item by court jewelers Garrard in the 1920s. It was then later purchased by the late Naim Attallah CBE, the former group chief executive of Asprey & Garrard, who would often loan the one-of-a-kind piece to Princess Diana throughout the 1980s. The cross was only ever worn by Diana and, following her death, hasn't been seen in public until now.
This is just one of many personal objects the reality star owns from some of the biggest pop culture icons in history.
