Eye miniatures, dating from 1800, are displayed ahead of auction at
Christie's in London November 7, 2002. Eye miniatures, originally worn
as jewellery mounted as brooches, rings, lockets, and tie-pins were
meant to capture the window of the soul and these examples are expected
to fetch between 800 and 1,500 pounds ($1,234 - $2,315) at auction on
