This October, Sotheby’s will offer a jewellery collection of legendary provenance – belonging to Dame Shirley Bassey, recently appointed Member of the Order of the Companion of Honour by The King for services to music. The Welsh-born British singer, whose immensely successful career has spanned over seven decades, is offering favourite pieces from her jewellery and watch collection for the first time at auction.
The legendary vocalist, whose career is unparalleled in longevity, success and esteem in British music history, has been collecting jewellery throughout her career. Every jewel in the sale represents a particular moment in Dame Shirley Bassey’s life, as well as iconic performances.
