A stunning collection of jewelry designed by Marina B, is set to go under the hammer for the first time ever at Bonhams in November.

Marian B is the granddaughter of Sotiro Bulgari, the founder of Bulgari, the famous Italian jewelry and luxury goods brand.

The Marina B Legendary Luxury Jewelry Collection, comprising nine highly individual lots that reflect the Italian designer's iconoclastic approach to jewelry, will be presented for sale this fall Bonhams Hong Kong on November 26, 2014.

Widely celebrated as a designer who revolutionised jewelry and women's relationship to it, Marina B's pieces embodied bold and elegant design, the use of diamonds and colored gemstones, the juxtaposition of geometric lines and subtle curves.

Celebrity fans of Marina B jewelry include actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Jennifer Lopez, Amy Adams and Mila Kunis and singers Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift and Faith Hill.

The sale features the largest and most valuable collection of Marina B jewelry ever to be sold at auction. It includes:

Marina B.

The necklace is designed as a sprung collar set to the front with courses of brilliant-cut diamonds. Its shape and pattern is seen in many of Marina B's signature designs.
