A Ukrainian family has decided to auction off priced jewelry of the late Princess Diana and donate the received amount to war relief funds. The auction will take place in New York in late June.
The late royal's diamond and pearl necklace and earring set, reportedly given to her by the heir when they were an item, was worn by Diana at the gala evening for 'Swan Lake' at London's Royal Albert Hall in June 1997 - her last official engagement before her death aged 36 in a 1997 Paris car crash that also killed Dodi, 42
A pearl and diamond necklace with matching earrings once owned by Princess Diana, known as the Swan Lake Suite, is expected to return up to $US15 million ($AU22.1 million) at auction.
Glittering with 178 diamonds and five of her favourite South Sea pearls, this is the platinum necklace Princess Diana wore on one of her final public engagements.
