Marilyn Monroe’s wedding ring goes under the hammer
When the two legends Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio tied the knot, there have been many promises made, but their relationship was not to last. The couple met two years before their nuptials and had a passionate relationship, but as soon as they married at the intimate ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, their relationship was ill-fated. After months of rowing the couple went their separate ways and eventually divorced.
DiMaggio gave a diamond encrusted platinum eternity ring to Monroe on their wedding day, which outlasted their marriage of 10-months. 35 baguette-cut diamonds decorate the platinum ring, although one of these diamonds is now missing. The ring is now up for auction at the Profiles in History auction house in California at a guide price of $300,000 to $500,000 but it’s expected to fetch much more due to its legendary history.
