Jackie Collins: The Antique Jewelry Behind the Stories

Who doesn't love Jackie Collins? We lost Ms. Collins, the great writer, last year yet her jewelry lives on. Ms. Collins loved Art Deco jewelry. There is a wonderful article, written in The NY Times fashion section by #Melanie Abrams. Ms. Collins beloved Art Deco jewelry will go on sale at Bonhams Auction house. Her one of a kind Art Deco necklace showcased beautiful Columbian emerald gemstones, and was actually a combination of Art Deco brooches conceived by Neil Lane. The stunning Art Deco piece was coined "The Party Piece." Included in her sale at Bonhams is a beautiful Art Deco bracelet, a vintage Cartier choker, and a stunning Vintage diamond bypass ring with a fancy yellow emerald cut, and emerald cut diamond, called "The Book Introduction Ring."
