Overview

RESULTS

Collectors from 50 countries took part in this auction, driving the total to $78,974,049 (CHF 77,919,025). A new world auction record for a Fancy Light Pink diamond was set when a superb 33.63 carat Fancy Light Pink diamond, mounted as a ring by Harry Winston around 1970, sold for $12,818,240 (CHF12,647,000). A 7.41 carat oval-modified Fancy Vivid Blue Internally Flawless diamond mounted as a ring in a frame of pink-tinted diamonds by Moussaieff sold privately immediately after the sale. Noble Jewels also saw strong results, as Sotheby’s celebrates ten years of dedicated sales of jewels with royal and aristocratic provenance. Strong prices also emerged in the sale room for a stunning selection of Art Deco jewels, including signed pieces by Cartier and Bulgari, confirming the passion among collectors.
