Kim Kardashian bats for clemency, pleads to Biden
When reality television star Kim Kardashian is not being chased by the paparazzi, she likes to work towards making society inclusive.
Kim Kardashian, a famous reality TV star, is known for buying historical ornaments and dresses. Now according to ‘People’, she has bought a necklace which was once owned by Princess Diana for a whopping sum of $1,97,453 at Sotheby’s annual Royal and Noble auction.
The 42-year-old superstar has reportedly purchased the beautiful diamond-encrusted amethyst Attallah pendant once worn by Lady Di who died in a car crash in 1997 at the age of 36.
In a statement, Sotheby London’s head of Jewellery, Kristian Spofforth, said: “This is a bold piece of jewellery by its size, colour, and style which cannot fail to make a vibrant statement, whether it be of faith or fashion — or indeed both. We are delighted that this piece has found a new lease of life within the hands of another globally famous name.”

The outlet went on to confirm that Kim Kardashian is “honoured to own a fine piece of jewellery owned by the late princess”, who wore the necklace to a 1987 charity gala in London and matched it with a purple Victorian velvet gown which was designed by Catherine Walker.
A press release describing the pendant, which has not been seen in public since before Princess Diana’s death, read: “The cross-shaped pendant, thought to be a one-off private commission by Garrard for one of their regular clients, is a bold and colourful piece set with square-cut amethysts and accented by circular-cut diamonds.”
“The cross has a total diamond weight of approximately 5.25 carats and measures approximately 136 x 95mm. It is understood that the cross was only ever worn by the princess, and following her death, it was never seen in public again until now.”
