Jewellery belonging to former first lady of the US, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, is to be among memorabilia sold at a New York auction in February.

Memorabilia from the family home of the famous Kennedy Family will go under the hammer at Sotheby's as part of an auction that will include more than 600 lots in fine and decorative arts.

The sale will feature a small selection of jewellery and precious objects belonging to the wife of former President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.

Among the memorabilia will be a Faberge gold and enamel triptych miniature frame, circa 1900, with an estimated value from $15,000 to $20,000.

Other highlights include pieces by Van Cleef & Arpels, such as a Lapis Lazuli and diamond bracelet and earclips and a coloured stone and diamond girl brooch.
