Thirty jewels of Hollywood legend auction: are those of Lauren Bacall, which will be sold by Bonhams in New York, at the end of next March. Unlike Liz Taylor, the actress’s former wife of Humphrey Bogart did not have pieces of enormous value (estimates range from 5 to 30 thousand dollars, ie from 4 to 25 thousand euro) and even in large quantities, but the impeccable and very personal taste defines a stylish and historical collection. For example, the two gold bracelets by Jean Schlumberger, her favorite designer, always worn on the same wrist, or the Tiffany gold necklace with heart-shaped pendants engraved with a letter to form the phrase “To my own beautiful star from proud director Ron » a gift from theater director Ron Field, who directed her in Applause , for which both won two Tony Awards. And yet the Camel brooch Mogul style inspired by Elizabeth Gage in gold, enamel, diamonds and pearls, accompanied by the original design and the correspondence with the designer.
