Kim Kardashian purchases a piece of history!
. The Attallah Cross was purchased by the reality TV star for $197,453 during a Sotheby's Royal and Noble sale. "This is a bold piece of jewelry by its size, color and style which cannot fail to make a vibrant statement, whether it be of faith or fashion - or indeed both," Kristian Spofforth, Head of Jewelry, Sotheby’s London, said."We are delighted that this piece has found a new lease of life within the hands of another globally famous name.
The piece was purchased from Garrard in the 1980s by Naim Attallah. Through her friendship with Attallah, the late Princess of Wales was loaned the piece to wear during royal engagements and private events. Diana famously stepped out with it in October 1987, when she wore the pendant on a long pearl chain, with a Catherine Walker dress during a charity event on behalf of Birthright. Following her death in 1997, the necklace was never seen in public again.
Kim, 42, is no stranger to purchasing pieces of history. The SKIMS founder owns clothing worn on stage by the late Michael Jackson. Kim was also famously loaned Marilyn Monroe’s dress for her appearance at the 2022 Met Gala.
