Success for Michele della Valle’s jewelry at Sotheby’s auction in Geneva ♦
They say art is a luxury that is not recognized to much. But selling of Sotheby’s Fine Jewels, which was held in Geneva, testifies that those who have artistic talent will receive the merited consensus. This is particularly the case with one of the best international designers, the Italian Michele della Valle. Sotheby’s had collected 82 jewels of exceptional virtuosity, which for Valle is the standard quality. And the result was right to the auction house: 98% of jewelery was sold, for a total of $ 1.3 million, ie almost three times the base estimate of the lots. A result of great importance and well deserved. It is a sign that you do not need to bet just on big collectors of diamonds like coconuts and with imaginative names to attract those who appreciate the art of jewelery.
In total, the Fine Jewels auction totaled $ 5.3 million, with 86.5% of the sold lots. Well sold also jewels by great Maison, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Bulgari. Federico Graglia
