As stunning and captivating as Marilyn, this platinum band was given to her by Yankee legend Joe DiMaggio at their wedding on Jan 14, 1954. The marriage was called off in a span of one year. It was reported that DiMaggio even planned to ask Marilyn to remarry him before her suicide by drug overdose. He later claimed her body and arranged her funeral.

Calabasas based company Profiles in History is organizing this auction by the name ‘Icons of Hollywood’ from Dec. 15th to 17th this year. This piece of Marilyn memorabilia that is missing one diamond, is estimated to sell for between $300,000 to $500,000 at the auction.
