The dinner to celebrate Sotheby’s Magnificent and Noble Jewels sale was as glamorous as you’d expect: co-host Princess Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis wore a Bulgari necklace (from her curated edit of the sale) and played an exclusive film — TNT by TJ Wilcox — about her family’s jaw-dropping art collection.
