A longtime buyer, seller and appraiser of pop culture memorabilia (you can catch him on <em>Antiques Roadshow<\/em>), he tracks the market value of these items closely.

Since then, he has kept the earrings as part of his personal collection, displaying them during trunk shows and loaning them out for special showings and events. \u201cI love to see the look on people\u2019s faces,\u201d Cohen says of the reaction the jewels elicit. \u201cIt\u2019s priceless.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What some people might not realize about Monroe, Cohen says, is that despite her \u201cDiamonds Are a Girl\u2019s Best Friend\u201d association, she loved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/rhinestone-jewelry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rhinestones<\/a> \u2014 and despite her successful movie career, she was not especially wealthy. Also, although she was married to celebrities like Joe DiMaggio and had relationships with notables like Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando, they did not gift her much in the way of fine jewelry, so the bulk of her collection was composed of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/jewelry-type\/fashion-jewelry\/\">costume pieces<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that Cohen is ready to part with his prize, a new owner has the chance to possess these sparkling pieces \u2014 imbued with the &#8220;mystique and allure&#8221; of the iconic Monroe \u2014 and dazzle family and friends. When you see up close something that was owned by someone so famous, Cohen says, &#8220;it&#8217;s like being starstruck.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Facets_Earrings_dibs_master-copy-768x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"crystal earrings\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/stone\/crystal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Crystal Earrings on 1stDibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/earrings\/stone\/crystal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 60 years after her death, Marilyn Monroe continues to fascinate.
