A judicial collar that belonged to the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is going up for auction to benefit a charity.
The gold collar made of glass beads will be the first of Ginsburg’s signature neckwear to be available for purchase, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
The collar is expected to sell for between $3,000 and $5,000, according to a press release from the auction company, Bonhams.
It is among about 100 personal items from Ginsburg being sold at an online auction hosted by Bonhams, from Sept. 7 through Sept. 16.

Other items in the collection include a pair of her opera glasses, a wooden gavel and artwork that hung in her apartment in Washington, the AP reported.
Two sets of fishnet lace gloves, a white handbag, a shawl and scarves will also be sold at the auction, according to the outlet.

However, the family decided to keep the second collar – which is made of fabric and has a family motto, “It’s not sacrifice, it’s family” stitched inside – and loan it permanently to “an appropriate institution,” the AP reported.

In April, an auction of 150 of Ginsburg’s belongings raised more than $800,000 for the Washington National Opera, according to the AP.
