Specialist Picks

Ahead of our Tuesday 14th July auction, our Specialists take a look at a few of their favourite lots from the forthcoming auction...

Including an excellent selection of everyday and evening jewellery and watches, our live online 14th July jewellery auction, Watches & Silver features everything from diamonds and sapphires to emeralds and pearls alongside designer names such as Cartier, Andrew Grima, and Audemars Piguet. Here, our Specialists take a look at a few of their favourite pieces from the sale...

 


Lot 56: A Victorian Amethyst Set Bracelet 

Lot 56: A Victorian Amethyst Set Bracelet Lot 56 | A Victorian amethyst set bracelet | composed of a single row of eleven claw set mixed oval-cut amethysts,
slightly graduated, to a concealed clasp | Length: 19.5cm | £600 - £800 + fees

 

I just love the vibrant colours of the amethyst and its such a wearable piece of antique jewellery that you could dress up or dress down. We do see similar necklaces at auction every now and again, so it gives the buyer the option to collect the set over time, we once sold a tiara which would have matched in beautifully, so you really can set yourself the challenge to get the whole suite if you love it enough!

Lot 88: A Pair of Diamond and Coral Set Pendant Earrings 

 

A pair of diamond and coral set pendant earrings

Lot 88 | Y A pair of diamond and coral set pendant earrings | each composed of alternating pavé set diamond and polished links,
suspending an asymmetric coral hoop, stamped 750 | Overall length: 45mm | £700 - £1,000 + fees 

 

My favourite piece is Lot 88, the coral earrings. For me, they evoke summer holidays by the beach. The earrings are such a lovely design and the organic material of the coral makes them so tactile.
