A gold-plated necklace personally owned by former first lady
Jacqueline Kennedy is currently up for auction at the Nate D. Sanders Auctions
in Los Angeles. The company is taking bids online and by phone, with the bidding
scheduled to conclude Thursday.
The necklace features six graduated strands of gold-plated
square-linked chains, punctuated with 23 fluted spherical beads in faux coral.
A charm near the clasp identifies it as Dior, made in Germany in 1973, while
she was married to Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis. There’s documentation stating
that the necklace is from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis estate sale, sold by Sotheby's
in April of 1996, lot 501.
The auction is scheduled to end tomorrow (January 30) at 5 p.m.
PST. However, there is a possibility of the bidding being extended until a bid
hasn’t been placed for 30 minutes. Bids can be placed online at the auction house's website or
by phone at 310-440-2982.
