The buyer of the Cartier onyx and diamond piece at Sotheby's in London was not named, although superstar Madonna had shown an interest.
made a total of Ј7,975,550.

David Bennett, chairman of Sotheby's Jewellery in Europe and the Middle East, said the duchess was "a leader of fashion and the epitome of elegance and sophistication for her generation and beyond".
He said: "The offering comprises not only incomparable examples of the genius of Cartier in collaboration with the Windsors, but also pieces whose inscriptions tell the story of perhaps the greatest love story of the 20th century, the romance that led Edward VIII to abdicate the throne of Great Britain."
