Ellen Barkin's jewelry sale raised a whopping $20.3 million at an NYC auction yesterday. Barkin wanted to get rid of the jewels she amassed during her marriage to billionaire Ron Perelman in the hopes of moving on with her life after she was served with divorce papers last January. The collection included the actress's wedding ring as well as diamond rings, necklaces and earrings from Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany and Van Cleef and Arpels. A rep for Christie's auction house said the sale "makes Ellen Barkin's collection the highest single-owner jewelry sale of the past 15 years in the US and also places it among the top four ever worldwide."Wednesday, October 11, 2006
