    Estimate 24,000 - 40,000 HKD

    Joel Arthur Rosenthal is a celebrated jeweller born in New York City for his innovative contemporary jewels. Often quoted as ‘the Faberge of our time’ and frequently inspired by nature, each artistic creation is highly sought after; less than a hundred jewels are introduced each year. His shop was established on Place Vendôme in 1977 with no signs or windows, with only his initials. Such secrecy has resulted in a voracious cult following, with collectors taking note when JAR signed pieces are sold at auction.
