She bought a $480,000 diamond ring with her racehorse winnings. 💎🐎

The late Honorable Sandra Schultz Newman — the first woman elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court — had a remarkable eye for jewelry, and a remarkable way of paying for it. Her favorite piece, a 19.12-carat emerald-cut diamond ring, was purchased with profits from her investment in a champion harness racehorse. It led Freeman's estate sale as the top lot at $480,000. 👑

The jewelry alone brought in over $3.2 million, with a Harry Bertoia sculpture ($128K) headlining the fine-art half. Proof that great taste — and a good bet — really do pay off.
