Leonore Annenberg’s $7.7 million Ring Sold at Christie’s
Billionaire philanthropist Leonore Annenberg died in March at the age of 91 and last week the legend’s diamond ring sold for an equally memorable $7.7 million at Christie’s Auction house.
Designed by New York’s infamous jeweler, David Webb, the 32.01 carat emerald cut diamond ring was purchased by Annenberg on her 90th birthday, just a year before her death.
The $7.7 million price makes the ring the most expensive diamond to have been auctioned off recently.
