Exceptional Jewelry on the Auction Block
 This vintage Cartier panther bracelet was owned by Wallis Simpson, who married King Edward VIII after he abdicated the British throne in order to make her his wife. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor (the pair's post-abdication titles) amassed a huge collection of jewelry during their lives. The panther bracelet is one of several pieces of the Duchess's jewelry that will be auctioned this fall at Sotheby's in London. It isn't unusual for high-profile jewelry to show up for sale across the world -- this gallery offers a glimpse at some of the outstanding jewelry seen on the auction block in recent years.
