Peaches Gems Auctioned for Fifty Thousand Dollars
An article from San Francisco reports Peaches Browning’s jewelry collection, including brooches and pendants, auctioned for about $50,000. Fran ces Heenan and other ex husbands figure in the tale of a Jazz Age performer who married multiple times and left a large, diversified hoard of gems to her estate. The sale, conducted by W. M. Spellins, attracted notable buyers such as Berlyn Heenan and Joseph Civelli, with highlights including a 23 carat sapphire and a 1 carat diamond bracelet selling for substantial sums. The event foreshadowed broader interest in her former possessions and the fashion era she embodied.
