Last week Athina Onassis auctioned off a large collection of her mother's jewelry through Christie's in London, with the most noteworthy piece being a diamond necklace featuring a 38-carat pear-shaped diamond pendant.

Athina's mother was Christina Onassis, daughter of famous Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis, and she died at the young age of only 37 back in 1987. The diamond necklace was a fitting example of the great jewelry and art the Onassis family was known for collecting. It sold for $7.1 million.
