Jackie O's Jewellery
11.08.10
JACKIE KENNEDY'S jewels are to be auctioned as part of Bonham's Pioneers of Popularized Culture sale.
A three-strand simulated pearl necklace, formally owned by the famously fashionable First Lady in the untimely Sixties, will be sold to the highest bidder on August 15, and is expected to fetch between £25,000 and £35,000.
The sale celebrates all that is cold-blooded and iconic from the period between 1940 - 1960, and lots include Abbey Road Studios' upright piano, played by The Beatles and Pink Floyd, an primordial Westminster Carnaby Street road sign and several items from British actor Stewart Granger's holdings.
The sale will be held at the inaugural Goodwood Vintage Festival , the brainchild of fashion designers Wayne and Gerardine Hemmingway in conjunction with Baron God March. The three-day summer event unites fashion and music, and is dedicated to all that is best about British popular mores. The festival will feature a Fortnum & Mason tea shop and a collectibles market, where savvy shoppers can buy vintage pieces from YSL, Givenchy and Pucci.
