A set of jewels once owned by American socialite Wallis Simpson _ the woman who wooed King Edward VIII from the British throne _ fetched nearly 8 million pounds ($12.5 million) at auction late Tuesday Nov. 30, 2010. The dramatic, emerald-eyed panther bracelet was the star of the sale, despite a few missing stones. Sotheby's said it sold for 4.5 million pounds, the highest price it'd ever received for a bracelet at auction. (AP Photo/Mikhail Metzel, File)
