A diamond bracelet that once belonged to France’s Marie Antoinette is among the featured items in auctions of jewellery and other collectibles next week in Geneva.

Also going under the hammer in the lakeside Swiss city will be a pair of high-top Nike trainers from the late NBA star Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers basketball player who died in a helicopter crash in California last year.
