Buy Jackie Collins' Estate Auction Includes Statement Jewels

Jackie Collins was said to have lived many of the adventures she wrote about in her 32 best-selling romance novels-particularly after the British native moved to Los Angeles where she thrived as both a writer and part of the Hollywood social scene until her death from breast cancer in 2015 at the age of 77.

Fans and collectors of the internationally celebrated romance novelist can now own a piece of her flamboyant lifestyle as her $3 million, 1,000-lot Beverly Hills estate goes up for auction. "Jackie Collins: A Life in Chapters" will be held May 16 and 17 at Bonhams Los Angeles.

Among the lots are several signed jewels by Cartier and Nardi and uk replica watches by Patek Philippe, Harry Winston, Chanel and Chopard. Collins' taste, particularly with jewelry, was bold, strong and colorful. A complete list of items have yet to be released but among the top jewelry lots are:

In addition, the sale will include several works by the English painter, Beryl Cook, including Tango in Bar Sur ($20,000 - 30,000) and Train Station Café ($20,000 - 30,000); Collin's bespoke special edition 2002 Jaguar XKR Sports car, fittingly finished in metallic gold; estimated at $15,000 - 20,000; a selection of entertainment and career-related memorabilia taking in first editions of her works and a selection of her designer clothes.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to support the empowerment of young women in the arts and education.
