So I just read that Christies Auction house has given auction estimates for Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry Auction in December.Is it me or do you think that the assigned estimates are low.Her famous 33.19 carat asscher cut diamond now called by the press the Elizabeth Taylor diamond has only a 2.5-3.5 million dollar est.!Ive seen smaller diamonds with like clarity and color at auction given higher estimates!The famous La Peregrina pearl necklace by Cartier has a 2-3 million dollar est.! And the Taj Mahal diamond necklace with a 300-500,000 estimate!We know that these pieces will go for many times their actual value much like the jewelry at the Winsor or Kennedy auctions,but these low estimate seem odd to me. I could see these pieces going for 3 times their estimates.
