There may be all the time a head-spinning visitor on the annual Artwork+Movie Gala held on the Los Angeles County Museum of Artwork (Lacma), and this 12 months was no exception. Kim Kardashian turned up for the swanky artwork bash honouring the artist Simone Leigh earlier this month sporting a famed cross necklace as soon as worn by Princess Diana.
The truth tv celebrity and sweetness tycoon paid £163,800 for the eye-popping, cross-shaped pendant final 12 months at Sotheby’s London, which was created by the jewellers Garrard within the Nineteen Twenties. The jewel is believed to be a novel piece, with diamonds framing massive amethyst stones in a fleurée (floral) type.
In an apt little bit of pearl clutching, CNN reported: “The deep plunge of her robe’s neckline and the provenance of the Renaissance-style cross has divided opinion on-line, with some arguing the risqué minimize feels incongruous with the non secular image.”
