Madame Secretary Albright possessed a legendary collection of fine jewelry including her distinctive collection of brooches, as well her collection of fine and decorative art, souvenirs and materials she’d acquired throughout her distinguished career. Her Bulgari white gold and diamond Fireworks choker sold for well above initial estimates, commanding $24,890. Another notable piece, her burl wood standing jewelry box netted $9,170, well beyond its estimated sale price of $400 to $600. Her Christian Dior bag, estimated to sell for between $800 to $1000, ultimately netted $5,240.
