After comedian Joan Rivers’s death in 2014, people will finally be able to purchase some of her extravagant collection in an estate sale. She had an eye for collecting and truly appreciated the craftsmanship of each piece. Rivers was a passionate collector of Fabergé, a jeweler by which she owned dozens of pieces. Twenty-two of the Fabergé pieces will be up for sale at Christie’s New York on June 22. The sale is estimated to fetch $1.5 million.
