It sold for 163,800 pounds at a sale in London, the auction house said after it was competed for by four bidders in the last five minutes of the Sotheby’s sale and eventually bought by Kim Kardashian.
“Jewelry owned or worn by the late Princess Diana rarely comes to market, especially something like the Attallah Cross, which is colorful, bold and distinctive,” Sotheby’s Christian Spofforth said, adding, “To some extent, this unusual pendant is a symbol of the princess’s growing self-confidence in jewelry and jewelry choices, at that particular time in her life.”
