Source

If you have $200,000 burning a hole in your bank, then, the piece above in emerald, diamond and rock crystal might just be it for you, estimated at just that, and up for auction by Christie's!

Christie's will be auctioning off eight pieces which are all crafted/designed in the Art Deco style of that era and all of which belonged to the Maharani of Kapurthala.

Some serious bling.
