Christie’s will hold a sale of jewelry and works of art from the Collection of Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, in London on June 13 to 14. More than 800 items will be featured, with estimates ranging from $174 to $872,000.
The sale will include an antique diamond riviere (estimated $349,000-$523,000,) accompanied by three handwritten notes naming the necklace after a previous owner as the ‘Lady Mount Stephen,’ which was given to the princess by her grandmother, Queen Mary.
Another highlight is a five-row art deco pearl and diamond necklace (estimated $26,000- $35,000,) and a marquise cut diamond ring of 5.17 carats (estimated $105,000-$122,000.)
The ‘Poltimore Tiara,’ which was originally created by Garrards in the 1870’s for Florence, Lady Poltimore, the wife of the second Baron Poltimore is up for auction (estimated $262,000-$349,000.) The princess wore it on her wedding day and prior to the wedding, she wore it in its alternative form as a diamond fringe necklace and scroll brooches.
“Christie’s are honored to have been instructed to sell jewelry and works of art from the private collection of H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon,” said Francois Curiel, deputy chairman of Christie’s and international head of jewelry. “We will stage an auction that pays tribute to her glamorous style and beauty.”
Comments
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
