NextImg:Deceased Senator's $65,000 Diamond Ring, 15th Century Art, Goes on Auction

It’s funny just how insanely wealthy our “public servants” are. This is the kind of thing you expect from European royalty, not former American government officials. But how much of a difference is there really?

Jewelry, political mementos and a “stunning collection of American art” once belonging to Sen. Dianne Feinstein are hitting the auction block.

The “Legacy of a Stateswoman” auction from Bonhams, happening Oct. 8 in Los Angeles, will include some of the California Democrat’s most beloved — and glitzy — personal items.

“Legacy of a Stateswoman”. How classy. The legacies of elected officials were supposed to be their deeds. In Feinstein’s case, the legacy was clinging to power and a $65,000 diamond ring.

Among the more than 70 baubles and jewels up for auction is a “dazzling 4.14 carat diamond ring flanked by tapered baguette diamonds,” which is expected to fetch as much as $65,000.

Baubles“. That’s some bauble.

The items include diamond and emerald jewelry, artwork from the glassblower Dale Chihuly and the 15th century Italian painter Neri Di Bicci, and signed books and documents from famous Democrats, including several presidents.

The jewelry included in the Oct. 8 sale includes a 4.14-carat diamond ring flanked by tapered baguette diamonds (estimate: $45,000 to $65,000) and a necklace with a reeflike cluster of freshwater pearls, designed for Tiffany & Co. by the daughter of Pablo Picasso (estimate: $1,500 to $2,500), which Feinstein wore at the opening session of the 2000 Democratic National Convention.

The auction house sold 42 works from the couple’s extensive collection of Himalayan art earlier this year. The works spanned 800 years of history and were collectively valued at more than $3 million.

The legacy of American taxpayers is currently a ruling elite whose voraciousness and self-seeking know no limits.
