Ladies and gentlemen… prepare your credit cards and check books. On October 19th Sotheby’s is planning another jewelry auction featuring many rare jewels belonging to Important Jewels collection.
The star of the collection is a spectacular pear-shaped diamond ring weighing 29.53 carats. The D color, potentially flawless stone highlights a New York Estate, a distinctive collection comprised of classically styled jewels by Van Cleef & Arpels, David Webb, Tiffany & Co., and Bulgari. Also featured in this Estate, is the “Botticelli” necklace made by Van Cleef & Arpels which suspends two faceted amethyst drops from a foliate motif collar, a piece selected for the catalogue cover for its dramatic design and rich jewel-tone colors.
Collectors will discover a tempting array of jewelry styles in this sale ranging from turn-of-the-century and period jewels to more contemporary designs. An interesting selection of high quality white diamond rings and ear studs under 10 carats, as well as fancy colored diamonds and fine colored gemstones will be offered for sale.
The Important Jewels collection will be on display at Sotheby's New York showroom beginning on October 14th.
