Profiles in History, run by Joe Maddalena, is set to auction off a platinum eternity band set with 35 baguette-cut diamonds (one diamond missing) given to Marilyn Monroe by Joe DiMaggio on their wedding day on January 14, 1954.
DiMaggio and Monroe met for the first time at an Italian restaurant on Sunset Blvd. They had an immediate chemistry and were married in an intimate civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, out of the spotlight, a rarity for both of them. Unfortunately, the relationship was strained from the 'word go'.
DiMaggio was invited to the set of The Seven Year Itchwhere he witnessed the now infamous shooting of Monroe standing atop a subway grate, dress billowing upward. DiMaggio stormed off and they were divorced two weeks later.
It should be noted that Profiles in History auctioned off the famed dress as part of the Debbie Reynolds Collection this past summer for $5.52 million dollars, shattering Guinness World Records. The ring from the wedding ceremony is expected to fetch $300,000 to $500,000.
Also up for auction is an original colourful painting by Earl Moran of a young and nude Marilyn Monroe in a prone pose from a modeling session circa 1948-1949.
