Marilyn Monroe's Jewelry Auction


Marilyn Monroe's character, Lorelei, dons a costume-jewelry set featuring a bracelet and earrings in a pivotal scene of the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Crafted by Kramer Jewelry Co. for Christian Dior in the early 1950s, the pieces, adorned with pink and blue rhinestones set in silver, are now on auction on eBay for over $415,000. In this climactic moment, Lorelei wears the jewelry with a navy-blue belted dress to persuade her fiancé's father to approve their marriage, embodying the archetype of a savvy yet unapologetic gold digger. Despite her bombshell persona in the movie, Monroe's real-life complexities contrast with the aesthetic stereotypes surrounding her. The eBay listing, managed by Continental Coin & Jewelry Co., notes that the set is "used but in very good condition," though some stones, particularly three blue gems in the necklace, are missing. This auction adds to the array of high-priced items tied to Marilyn Monroe's enduring legacy, including a scale and a silk polka-dot dress sold in previous auctions.

In probably the most recent post located on her Instagram account by GHPage.com, Abena Korkor spilt a few privileged insights about Serwaa Amihere, a TV moderator at GhOne, and her affectionate relationship for certain high ranking representatives in the country.

luxury hotels near the great wall of china

Image
A hotel offering exclusive access to the Great Wall of China, Commune by the Great Wall, located an hour north of Beijing, provides a unique experience with its dispersed luxury accommodations. Rather than a single large structure, the hotel consists of individual buildings that can be rented separately, some designed by renowned Asian architects like Kengo Kuma and Ai Weiwei. Originally conceived as country houses, the developers shifted to the hotel concept, providing guests with a 20-minute walk to the Shuiguan section of the Great Wall. Operated under the Unbound Collection by Hyatt, the hotel, situated in the semi-rural Yangqing town, offers full services, including three meals a day, a kids' club, and recreational facilities. Unlike the crowded tourist spots, Commune by the Great Wall allows a serene visit to the Wall, making fall an ideal time to explore amid beautiful autumn colors and mild weather.
