Sothebys to Auction off Famed Cosmetic Moguls Jewels

A 6.54 carat pink diamond ring, 4.95 carat ruby and diamond brooch, and a 47.1 carat Fancy Intense yellow diamond pendant are all amongst the precious jewels that will be auctioned off at a much-anticipated Sothebys event on December 5th in New York. The pieces, which will be a part of the Magnificent Jewels Auction, come from the collections of Estee Lauder, founder of the Estee Lauder cosmetics mega-brand, and her daughter-in-law Evelyn Lauder. Sothebys hopes to raise up to $13 million from the auction whose proceeds will be entirely donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a foundation that Evelyn championed herself.

Estee Lauder passed away in 2004 followed by her daughter-in-law who passed last year. Both women left stunning pieces as a part of their estates; the yellow diamond pendant was originally a ring owned by the Duchess of Windsor before it was refashioned for Estee in 1978 by Van Cleef & Arpels. The most stunning of the collections jewels will travel to Geneva, London, and Los Angeles this fall for exhibitions before being returned to New York on December 1st where they will be displayed for four days before going to auction.
