Dame Shirley, 87, famously sang about diamonds in the 1971 James Bond film starring Sir Sean Connery and said she accepted the offer to sing the track as the lyrics “rang true” to her."All the pieces are meaningful and have a story to tell, whether I bought them for myself or they were gifted to me.
"And perhaps one of the most special pieces in the collection is this emerald parure I bought myself to commemorate my very first Royal Variety Performance in front of the late Queen." "However, I quickly graduated to my lifelong passion for diamonds which preceded the recording of Diamonds Are Forever.
There is also a yellow diamond ring, which could fetch up to €200,000 , and an aquamarine, sapphire, diamond and gem set estimated to sell for between €60,000 and €70,000 .Highlights from the collection will be exhibited at Sotheby’s London from May 24 to 29 before it exhibits in Paris from October 4 prior to the live auction, taking place at Sotheby’s Paris on October 10.
