Brooke Astor | Her Life and Jewels

Brooke Astor was a prominent American socialite and philanthropist who inherited a vast fortune from her third husband, Vincent Astor. In 2007, her estate auctioned off her jewelry collection, which included over 80 pieces, and raised over $18 million. Some of the notable items included a diamond and emerald necklace, a diamond and sapphire bracelet, and a gold and enamel compact. The auction served as a testament to Astor's legacy as a patron of the arts and philanthropist.
