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.

Her jewels were exquisite!!!! I don't know how else to put it.

@kevinjdoherty2940 Год назад

She had some good and expensive taste. Nice to see pictures if her wearing sone of the pieces and she lived a long time to enjoy her pretty little baubles.💍👑

I've always remembered her reminder that it was "so much easier to be nicer to everyone." It springs to mind when dealing with difficult people! She was one-in-a-million, who deserved so much better than she got in her final years with that dreadful son and daughter-in-law.

I used to work in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was a benefactor of the museum. She would also pay for the employee Christmas party. She would be there mingling with the employees. She seemed to have greeted everyone. She was a very nice person.

I love Brooke Astor's taste in jewelry! Thanks for posting this one.

@alymshep Год назад

The way the diamonds were set in each piece was stunning. Beautiful. The pieces were the perfect color against her skin. The woman had class

@frederickcombs8661 Год назад

Even the heavy jewelry had a light and youthful appearance for a great lady.

@frederickastarr9771 Год назад

Beautiful jewelries!

@nan7503 Год назад

Pearls and Pins, always classic. Loved that unique bracelet and the Lion broach. I wonder who has those pieces today or were some of them broken up.

@Soda3000Pop Год назад

Mrs Astor had many beautiful jewels, especially the emeralds ❤

Love this 💎💍

@bobperricone2216 Год назад

It was nice seeing her collection however the price estimate on the jewelry compared to the sell price seems very odd.

@henrylivingstone2971 6 месяцев назад

Why? Because the sell price is a lot more than the estimate? That’s fairly normal considering auction houses estimate the value of jewelry based solely on their material value and don’t account for provenance. And considering these were owned by the famous Brooke Astor herself it’s likely there were many friends of hers who wanted a piece of her jewelry as a memento. And since they are pieces owned by a famous figure that also added to the value.

Nothing extraordinary apart from the engagement ring.

Although she was hailed as a great dame of society, her taste for jewelry was mediocre at best with the exception of very few pieces

@JM-lw3nx Год назад

She put up with a lot from her horrible husband, and then her own son treated her like garbage!

@henrylivingstone2971 6 месяцев назад

Which husband? She had three. The wife beater, the love of her life, and the rich one.

@user-pl6wk3wg6d Год назад

This aristocratic lady was not in need of a 'bob or two'! The owning and wearing of such priceless pieces of jewelry was extremely immoral and shameless when one considers the amount of suburban poverty that existed all around when this old lady lived! No, it's this type of person that generates uprisings and revolts from the struggling poor in society!!

@Driedtomato Год назад

I really want your voice mine and others who agree to withstand this fn "aristocracy" .What? were they the "chosen" ones?? Bllsht.

@henrylivingstone2971 6 месяцев назад

I mean….to be fair she dedicated her life to alleviating the suffering of the poor and disabled. She regularly donated millions to poor houses and women’s shelters. And to make sure her money was making a difference she often visited these shelters and gave away gifts. Also in her will she donated all $200 million dollars to charity. There’s a reason she was known as the “godmother of New York”. But the reason her money didn’t go to charity or at least not all of it was because her son changed her will when she had Alzheimer’s.

@mr.rightnow.7300 Год назад

Wow. She really liked yellow gold with stones. Respectfully, it's an ugly collection with a few nice pieces. Looks very costume to me. Even in the 80s I hated yellow gold. I had some Chanel pieces in yellow gold because it was so hot. But that was it. Long Coin necklace, long monogrammed necklace, and a gold belt buckle.

@marthaross6301 Год назад

Chanel is costume jewelry.

@alymshep Год назад

“Ugly collection?” Who doesn't like yellow gold with stones? 😂 Anyone comparing costume Chanel from the 80’s to these works of art? There are no words 😞

@myriamickx7969 Год назад

I love yellow gold, that's what I choose for all my jewels when I buy a valuable piece. Jewels sold by French haute couture names are generally expensive costume jewelry. That's not for me, thank you.
