Crown jewels

A necklace which Princess Diana wore for her last official engagement was recently auctioned on the web. But don't panic if you missed it because another opportunity to bag some 'crown jewels' will take place on the same website on 16th December. This time a "stunning set of meticulously crafted Elizabethan Crown Jewels" - comprising two necklaces, a sceptre, a Sovereign's Orb and a red velvet-lined Royal Crown - go under the hammer. Although these jewels are fake and were designed for Cate Blanchett to wear in the film 'Elizabeth' they are estimated to fetch an impressive $45,000.
