Est. $45,000-$50,000 Marilyn Monroe's Faux Pearl 94" Necklace Worn During "Last Sitting" W/Letter of Provenance - This long faux pearl necklace was worn by Marilyn Monroe during her "Final Sitting" photoshoot with legendary fashion photographer Bert Stern commissioned by Vogue Magazine in June, 1962, just six weeks before her unfortunate passing. The necklace measures 94" in length and is comprised of 8mm simulated pearls.
