Kardashian purchased the Attallah Cross at a Sotheby’s auction in 2023. Named for its previous owner, Naim Attallah, former group chief executive of Asprey & Garrard, the Palestinian-British businessman lent the amethyst and diamond piece to Diana throughout the 1980s. She notably wore it on a string of pearls at the 1987 Birthright charity gala, where she paired the pendant with a purple velvet Catherine Walker gown.

Originally made by Garrard in the 1920s, the Attallah Cross features square-cut amethysts surrounded by 5.25 carats of circular-cut diamonds. Kardashian purchased it for $197,453, double its pre-auction estimate.

Kardashian’s chunky pearl choker resembled Diana’s eleven-strand necklace, which was also adorned with rubies and diamonds. Featuring 900 pearls, the Princess of Wales wore it at several events, including film and theater premieres.

World's smallest public railway fighting for survival amid rising costs
The world's smallest public railway have said they are fighting for survival against rising costs to keep their heritage trains running. The Wells and Walsingham Light Railway in Norfolk, UK, have recently had to dip into their own reserves to pay for a new boiler in their iconic Norfolk Hero steam locomotive. The 110-year-old tracks run four miles down a coastal route and has been a popular fixture for locals and tourists since it opened in 1982. The not-for-profit group of volunteers have now said they have faced a 65 per cent increase in their fuel and energy costs in the past two years. They have launched a fundraiser to raise £25k to maintain the steam trains and the heritage railway said everything they do is for the 'survival of the railway'.
