If you are not in New York, don’t worry: those who want to participate in the auction of the jewels of 6 and 7 December, organized by Leslie Hindman, it can do it online. To buy something, just in time to put them under the tree, there are diamonds, other precious stones and jewelery by some great Maison. Let’s look at some of the most interesting pieces. Among the jewels, we point out two bracelets Cartier: the first is made up of diamonds and emeralds (estimate 35-55000 dollars). The second is in Art Deco style, Tutti Frutti (estimate: 20-30000 dollars) with plant motifs set in rock crystal. If you are in a good mood, here is a bizarre-shaped mushroom brooch coral signed Van Cleef & Arpels (estimate 8-12000 dollars). Browse around a necklace inspired America archaic, more and Van Cleef & Arpels, composed of gold links strongly sculpted around a sun-deity in the center (estimate 10-15000 dollars), and a pair of bracelets in enamel of paillonné Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. (10-15000).
They also sell precious stones remarkable. The most important is the diamond Newton, of 20.75-carat, emerald-cut, mounted on a ring that was part of the collection of Wayne Newton (350-400000 dollars). Among the colored diamonds is a rare piece: a small (0.48 carats) Fancy Red (150-175000). A little stone, found in the Australian Argyle mine, but very, very rare. One Colombian emerald is instead part of a brooch from Tiffany & Co., dated 1910 (40-60000). There’s also the sapphire, a stone of 3.65 carats of Kashmir (40-60000). Federico Graglia
