The Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels sale being hosted by Sotheby’s Geneva may be over a month away, but its headliner—a natural pearl and diamond tiara with royal provenance—is already making the rounds. Virtually, that is, via a fun Instagram filter accessible on @Sothebys and @SothebysJewels that enables followers to try on the tiara and capture a picture of themselves wearing it.
Steeped in the history of the House of Savoy, which is among the world’s oldest European royal families, the jewel is purported to be one of the most important tiaras to appear on the market in recent years. The estimate: $1 million to $1.5 million.
