8. No buyers for Shirley Temple’s Childhood Ring
Child star and later U. S. diplomat Shirley Temple received a 9.5 carat art deco blue diamond ring for her twelfth birthday in 1940. Her stepfather spent $7,210.00 on the extravagant gift. Since Shirley Temple’s passing, her ring was put up for auction with an estimated sale price of $25-35 million dollars. It failed to sell at auction because the $22 million high bid did not meet the reserve. Though it’s unfortunate that this famous actress’ ring failed to sell, the offer of $22 million dollars shows an impressive return on her stepfather’s investment.
