Audrey Hepburn’s iconic pearl necklace in Roman Holiday is up for auction
After Audrey Hepburn’s pink dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s went up for auction in September, another item from her famous Hollywood film, Roman Holiday, is also going under the hammer.
Roman Holiday is a 1953 rom-com directed by William Wyler, a film which later came to be recognised as one of the most romantic films in the history of cinema. The film starred Gregory Peck and the beautiful Audrey Hepburn, who won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal as Princess Ann.

When accumulating the exquisite design and value of the necklace plus the story that comes with it, this piece of jewellery is expected to garner between USD 19,900 to USD 29,000.
Created by Moric Fürst, the piece is a choker-style pearl necklace with cabochon sapphires.
