An 18-c white gold necklace worn by actress Cherie Lunghi is to be auctioned off to raise money for charity.

Action for Children will receive the proceeds from the item, which is valued at £5,500 and has been donated by Beaverbrooks.

Lunghi said she felt "amazing" when she wore the "beautiful piece of jewellery" at the National TV Awards, while Liz Monks, the executive director of fundraising at Action for Children, said the money raised will make a "huge difference" to disadvantaged children across the country.

"The proceeds from the online auction of this beautiful necklace will be vital for us, in helping us to reach to even more of the most vulnerable children, young people and their families who are in need of our help," she stated.

Meanwhile, a number of gold items sold at auction recently have been fetching top-end prices.

Yesterday, Christie's accepted a bid of over £180,000 for a Faberge enamel and gold vanity case from the 19th century.
