10 Fine Jewels Highlights from Harper’s Bazaar’s Julie-Anne Dorff

• 

  Sapphire and diamond pendant/brooch, first half of 20th century.
  Estimate £3,000-4,000.

  I think this brooch is so chic and versatile. I would either pin it to the collar of a pussy bow blouse and wear it with my favourite tuxedo jacket or in my hair for an evening look.

  Gem set and diamond brooch.
  Estimate £3,500-4,500.

  This charming piece would make anyone happy! I would wear mine to a party where I don’t know many people as it's a great way to start a conversation. It would also be a fantastic present for a man or a woman and would complete any outfit in a playful way. Each season we see jewels blending in with fashion and the tropical theme is such a trend for next summer.

  Ladies diamond wristwatch, Le Coultre, 1950s.

  This is a fabulous piece that I would dream of owning, perfect for any lady, any style or age. It’s both the perfect evening piece to be treasured for generations to come as well as the perfect investment piece.

  Cultured pearl torsade bracelet, Van Cleef & Arpels.
  Estimate £2,600-4,500.

  Pearls are definitely back this year and this piece is exquisite. Make it your own by wearing it with a denim or silk shirt for a casual look, or pair it with your favourite little black dress. I always love the playful side of a Van Cleef piece .

  Diamond and gem set charm bracelet.
  Estimate £3,500-4,500.

  Again one of the big jewellery trends for next season. You can create your own story with charms as they are fun and versatile. I love the coloured stones and animal charms. I feel this piece could take me on a journey through the sea and the tropics...

  Pair of diamond ear clips.
  Estimate £6,000-12,000.

  These are fabulous and extra bold . We have seen such an 80's revival on the catwalk and  talk so much about feminism; and for me these represent all of this and  are part of the power dressing trend.

  Diamond brooch, circa 1900.
  Estimate £6,000-8,000.

  Such a poetic feminine piece . Bows are still very much in fashion and would complement any day or evening look. I would also wear this piece on my favourite Chanel silk clutch bag. I love brooches because they allow you to express your personality. This is my dream Christmas present.
