Brooch bought for â¹500 at garage sale sells for â¹17 lakh
A 20th-century brooch bought at a garage sale for $8 (around â¹500) fetched $26,250 (around â¹17 lakh) at an auction in New York after it was found to be studded with diamonds, as well as an emerald and a ruby. The Bonhams auction house said its owner had mistakenly believed it was costume jewellery before a jeweller told her otherwise.
