CELEBRITY JEWELS ON THE AUCTION BLOCK

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Guys, you wouldn't dream of giving your gal second-hand jewelry -- but what if that bauble was once owned by a famous celebrity? Sotheby's is holding an auction of pre-owned celebrity jewels worn by stars like Joan Rivers, Ginger Rogers and Loretta Young. One Rivers' item is a red tourmaline and diamond brooch estimated at $50,000 and another second-hand "steal" is Young's pearl and diamond ear clips valued at $40,000. The event takes place today (Dec. 6) at Sotheby's New York auction house.
