Marie Antoinette’s Diamond Necklace to Be Auctioned
In luxury news, a stunning diamond necklace, believed to be connected to the infamous Marie Antoinette, is set to hit the auction block in Geneva on November 13, with an estimated value of £2.1 million. This 300-carat masterpiece was crafted circa 1776 and has adorned the necks of British aristocrats, including Lady Anglesey for royal coronations.
Experts from Sotheby’s believe elements of this dazzling piece may have originally belonged to a controversial necklace that contributed to the downfall of the French monarchy. Emily Barber, head of fine jewelry sales, stated, > “This necklace is one of the most impressive 18th-century jewels still in private hands. It is literally like owning a piece of history.”

Diesel Car Sales Decline
In automotive news, new diesel car sales in the UK are plummeting, with a staggering 68% drop since 2015. CarGurus reports that while private sales remain robust, fewer new diesel models (only 65 in 2024 compared to 202 in 2015) are available to consumers. Chris Knapman of CarGurus highlighted the ongoing demand among high-mileage drivers for diesel options, saying, > “For some drivers, it remains the preferred fuel choice.”
As drivers increasingly transition to less polluting vehicles amidst tightening regulations and higher taxes, many current diesel owners still appreciate the fuel’s cost-efficiency and reliability.
