Jewelry that once belonged to Marie Antoinette is scheduled to go up for sale at a Sotheby's auction Thursday.

The last queen of France before the French Revolution, Antoinette's diamond and pearl pendant is estimated to be worth between $1 million and $2 million. Among other jewelry items, a pearl and diamond necklace is valued at up to $300,000.
