Noble Jewels | Treasures of Royal Provenance and Timeless Beauty

Geneva | 12 November 2025

“Ultimately, jewels are emotional beings — telling the stories and connections of those who wore them.”

This November in Geneva, we proudly present Noble Jewels, our signature auction celebrating royal and aristocratic treasures. Each piece carries a remarkable legacy, from its illustrious provenance to its exquisite craftsmanship, reflecting generations of history, beauty, and emotion.

Among the highlights is the Gisborough Tiara, a transformable jewel that evolved with its family’s growing diamond collection. From an Asian royal collection, a 19th-century floral tiara stands out for its versatility, designed to be worn as a tiara, a necklace, or as separate brooches. Another extraordinary piece is a natural pearl and diamond devant de corsage, connected to Princess Kunigunde of Saxony and famously worn at royal events attended by Queen Elizabeth II.

These jewels embody more than elegance; they tell stories of lineage, artistry, and enduring legacy. The Royal & Noble Jewels sale takes place at Sotheby's Geneva on 12 November
