Next in our #SothebysWrappedšŸŽ countdown, the Anglesey Necklace. Believed to have been crafted just before the French Revolution, the necklace may trace its origins to the infamous Affair of the Necklace, a scandal linked to Marie Antoinette. Once worn by Marjorie Paget, Marchioness of Anglesey, at the coronations of King George VI, and a few years later her daughter-in-law attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the same jewels. Featuring over 300 carats of radiant gems, this royal treasure resurfaced at #SothebysGeneva earlier this fall, achieving nearly $5 million during the 100% sold Royal & Noble Jewels Auction. Stay tuned as we continue the countdown to your most-liked post of the year with #SothebysWrappedšŸŽ. #SothebysJewels
