Rare 18th-Century Diamond Necklace Linked to Marie Antoinette to be Auctioned

The historic piece, adorned with 500 diamonds, is expected to fetch up to $2.8 million at Sotheby's Geneva in November.

The necklace, weighing approximately 300 carats, will be auctioned on November 11 with online bidding starting October 25.
It was last seen in public 50 years ago and has ties to the Marquesses of Anglesey, who wore it at two British coronations.
Some of the diamonds are believed to have come from the infamous necklace involved in the 'Affair of the Necklace' scandal tied to Marie Antoinette.
The diamonds are likely sourced from India's legendary Golconda mines, known for producing the purest and most dazzling gems.
The necklace will be exhibited in major cities including London, Hong Kong, New York, and Dubai before the auction.
