An important piece leading the sale is a JAR ring featuring the Marie-Thérèse Pink Diamond, a kite-shaped, 10.38-carat, fancy-purple-pink expected to bring in up to $5 million. The stone, which is believed to date back to the mid-18th century, was allegedly included in a parcel Marie Antoinette entrusted to her most faithful hairdresser, along with other jewels from her collection, on the eve of her failed escape from Paris in 1791. The jewels made their way to her only surviving child, Duchess Marie Thérèse de Angoulême, before they were passed down through future family members.
