Ample space is reserved for jewelry from major Italian and international fashion houses. A 7.93-carat sapphire ring by Buccellati is offered for €8,000. Various Van Cleef & Arpels creations from the Alhambra collection, with necklaces and bracelets ranging from €1,500 to €3,000.

The section closes with two rare and exclusive pieces: a David Webb bracelet (€25,000) and a pair of earrings signed JAR (€7,000).
A separate piece is a one-of-a-kind piece presented to the public for the first time: an extremely rare masterpiece of Persian goldsmith art, created about a century ago, among the first examples of white gold workmanship in Persia, a true aesthetic revolution for the time (starting price €40,000). Its rose-cut diamonds, chosen for their depth of light and the symbolic value attributed to the memory of the earth, culminate in the central gem, an emblem of the light of dawn, a symbol of rebirth and protection. It was kept for decades in a private collection as a family talisman.
The allure of a catalog like this lies in the ability to explore jewelry from different eras and styles, designed for different occasions and offered with accessible estimates. It is an opportunity to discover increasingly rare and hard-to-find pieces, capable of combining aesthetic value, history, and desire.
