Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Are you, like me, a fan of the jewelry collection of the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor? Well, you’re in luck: you’ve got a chance to own one of her pieces! Taylor’s Victorian Sapphire Brooch is hitting the auction block (again!) tomorrow in Hong Kong.
Today, Sotheby’s sold a fantastic diamond corsage ornament in their Magnificent Jewels auction in Geneva—but is it really a British royal wedding gift, as the lot notes claimed?
Sotheby’s isn’t the only auction house holding a Magnificent Jewels sale this week. In Geneva, Christie’s mounted a similar sale today, featuring lots of important pieces—including this royal sapphire and diamond bracelet.
November’s Magnificent Jewels sale at Sotheby’s in Geneva will include a magnificent diamond and emerald jewel with impeccable royal provenance: Empress Eugénie’s Emerald Bracelet.
Magnificent Jewels season really has arrived! Last week, we chatted about a gorgeous pink diamond up for sale in November at Christie’s, and today, we’ve got a closer look at a gorgeous midcentury bauble made by an iconic designer heading to the auction room at Sotheby’s.
