Sotheby's is also presenting eight rare 'Fancy Blue' diamonds valued at more than $70 million.

Besides the smuggled jewels, the biggest-ticket item was a pair of square-cut diamond earrings.

The bracelets feature 112 diamonds and weighs 97 grams each made with silver and gold.

A diamond bracelet that once belonged to France's Marie Antoinette is one the featured items going up for auction.

The pair sold - in the Chicago Bulls' red, white and black - were worn by Jordan during his stellar 1984-1985 debut season.

A Savoy royal tiara which everyone could try on via Instagram went for $1.6 mn.

A 1930s sapphire and diamond brooch features the largest Kashmir sapphire ever to appear at auction.

It took just a few minutes for the bids to reach 21 mn Swiss francs after the stone came up in an online auction.

Five out of the 10 most valuable diamonds ever sold at auction were pink.

Pink diamonds are both rare and aesthetically highly prized by collectors, analysts say.
