A crown worn by pop singer Ariana Grande to promote her “Dangerous Woman” tour is being auctioned off this week.
Described by Nate D. Sanders Auctions as being in “near fine” condition, the piece of memorabilia is “adorned with handset rhinestones next to spikes all along the crown.” The opening bid is $5,000.
A spokesman for the auction house told The Washington Times that the crown was “not consigned by anyone affiliated with” the pop star and was “obtained before the Manchester attacks.” There are no plans for any of the proceeds from the sale to go to charity, he said.
Crowns of similar design by Vauje Jewelry are available to order online for $775. Vauje’s website said it has a four-week backlog on orders.
