DETAILS

Leading this autumn sale is the highly important and rare Cowdray Pearl Necklace composed of forty-two natural grey pearls of superb quality. Another highlight of notable provenance is The Dowager Viscountess Harcourt Necklace incorporating diamonds from the French Crown Jewels bought by Tiffany and Co. in 1887 at auction, subsequently sold by Sotheby’s in 1995 and reappearing in the market again after 20 years in private collection. To be offered is also a sumptuous selection of highly desirable gemstones, diamonds and jadeites, including an iconic 10.62-carat ruby panther ring mounted by Cartier, an exceptional Kashmir sapphire weighing an impressive 27.68 carats, and a rare fancy intense pink diamond of over 5 carats. Two fabulous Art Deco brooches from Cartier with oriental elements and an impressive 27.91-carat antique cushion-shaped ruby exude grandeur of the past, while modernity is celebrated by exquisite creations from world-famous maisons.
