Jewels and stones that will have more value in 2018

/




The auction house Bonhams has analyzed the trend of jewelry and stones most in demand and that will increase in value. For example, rubies and … ♦ ︎
What treasure have you hidden at home? Or in a bank safe? Perhaps you do not know that, but like for paintings or stock shares, even jewels are subject to variation in their value. Stones that twenty years ago were scarcely considered or even referred to as defective, such as brown diamonds, are now also used for high jewelery. In short, it is good to know the value of what you have.
The Bonhams auction house, for example, has revealed to the Professional Jeweler website what jewels are supposed to be more in demand in 2018 and, therefore, get a higher price. Here are the ten precious that in 2018 will increase in value according to Jean Ghika, Bonhams world jewelry director.
1) Colored diamonds. If ten years ago a vivid blue diamond was estimated at 200,000 to 300,000 dollars per carat, today the value has risen 2-3 million. A growth rate higher than the stock exchange or real estate. In short, it was an excellent investment. But now? According to Jean Ghika, “the market today is more informed and the beauty and rarity of these stones is fully appreciated. Colored diamonds of yellow, pink and blue in all sizes and hue are increasingly requested by buyers all over the world». And the value is set to rise, according to the Fancy Color Research Foundation. The average price of all blue diamonds rose by 8.1% over two years.
2) Rubies. Red stone is one of the most sought after in the last two years, surpassing the appeal of sapphires and emeralds. Bonhams, for example, brings an art deco ring from Lacloche, with a five-carat non-heated Burmese ruby, sold for £ 30,000 in 2007. An equivalent ruby ​​on a Cartier ring has been sold at over £ 362,000 recently , with an increase of 1,108% in just seven years.
3) White diamonds. They remain among the right choices to preserve the value of a jewel. According to the auction house, there is a growing interest in diamonds with an antique, handmade cut from the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco period. They have a great charm and are distinguished compared to perfectly cut diamonds of nowadays.
4) Sapphires. Although slightly less than the ruby, the sapphire maintains a great appeal. Also because, next to the classic blue color, sapphires are available in a wide variety of shades, even rare ones like the padparadscha (pinkish-orange). The rarity of some nuances makes the sapphire much sought after by collectors and, therefore, preserves or increases its value. Also because sapphires of historical mines, like those of Kashmir, are among the rarest and most sought after.
5) Emeralds. The same discourse of the sapphires also applies to the green stones par excellence. However, the value depends largely on the color of the stone and on the clarity. High quality untreated (certified) stones from Colombia are in high demand and have seen a significant increase in value over the past decade.
6) Belle Epoque and Art Déco. Late nineteenth and early twentieth century are two golden periods for jewelry and are increasingly appreciated. In the last decade the value of antique jewelry has increased by 54%. In particular, jewels of the period 1945-1975 increased by 88.9% and those of art deco (1920s and 1930s) and Belle Epoque (1890-1915) by 71.8%.
7) Jewels of great Maisons. Over time, the value of the jewels of major brands resist better. But, even better, in recent years have seen prices rally. Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Verdura, Suzanne Belperron and Tiffany, for example, are increasingly requested brands at auction.
8) Natural pearls. Pearls yes, but not cultivated. They are those who have seen their value multiply in recent years. The data of Art Market Research, reports Professional Jeweler, indicate a 286.1% increase in the price of natural pearls in the last decade.
9) Great designers. There is not only the signature of the great Maison to raise the price of jewels. Even the jewels of artists or designers such as Suzanne Belperron, Coco Chanel, Hemmerle, Georges Braque, Daniel Brush or Andrew Grima are in great demand.
10) Spinels. Red is fashionable, but it is not said to be ruby. The spinels are very similar to the rubies and are just as beautiful to see on a jewel. That’s why rings, necklaces or bracelets with large spinels are sprouting higher and higher prices. According to Bonhams, there is considerable interest in spinels and many collectors want to buy them. Federico Graglia

That Paolo Piovan, jeweler of Padua, is one of the most fanciful brands that work with gold and precious stones, is known. But few would be willing to bet on the constant ability to invent new forms, new emotions, new surprises in the production of unique pieces made by Maison in Veneto, one of the most popular brands loved by connoisseurs around the world.

New Conquêtes for Louis Vuitton




In Paris, a large five-storey Louis Vuitton’s storehouse. And for the occasion presents new pieces of high jewelry ♦ ︎
Louis Vuitton returns to the starting point. But in great style, as only the French can do it. The Maison opened a large store of five floors where, over 160 years ago, Louis Vuitton opened his first store. That is, in Place Vendome, in Paris. The luxurious brand building features the vast production of the French company, from bags to fashion collections, from perfumes to footwear. And also the jewels. Indeed, at the opening of the prestigious store, Vuitton has decided to present three new sets of high jewelery, each of which aims to show LV branded virtuosity. A necklace that is part of the Conquêtes collection uses, for example, an emerald of 6.29 carats extracted from the Muzo mines in Colombia. The green stone, with no inclusions, is presented in a jewel of light and modern geometries, with a pattern emerging from Louis Vuitton’s flower and monogram.
Another necklace uses a huge 20-carat spinel, a stone that was one of Louis Vuitton’s favorites. Jewelery is added to those of the Conquête collection we have already talked about (see also: Vuitton, jewelery and Conquêtes). A selected clientele interested in seeing closely how Louis Vuitton jewels are made, can also go up with a private elevator in the Rare & Exceptionnel lab where craftsmen from the Maison work.

Picchiotti, brilliant to bridal




The new Picchiotti bridal collection, all diamond and precious stones ♦ ︎
The celebrations for the first 50 years of Picchiotti continue with a special new collection dedicated to the sacred moment of the couple: marriage. Whatever the style, the rite, and the related forms of libation, the wedding day comes after a promise, but also a premise. What is always before is, in fact, the choice of an appropriate gem to celebrate the moment to mark on the book of life. Often this is a ring, but it is not said that the gift of a jewel is forcibly the prerogative of the groom. A parent, for example, can give a jewel which is also become a small capital that is revalued over time. But we back to Picchiotti: the new bridal collection does not lose what is the code of the Maison of Valenza, the choice of large colored stones, and particularly diamonds of great quality with great brilliance. A greatness, in short, that does not reside in size, but in choosing to point to the top. More than the adjectives, in any case, the images are effective. Giulia Netrese

At Christie’s a de Grisogono masterpiece




An exceptional necklace with one of the greatest diamonds in the world: Christie’s sells de Grisogono’s masterpiece ♦ ︎
An international stage for an exceptional jewel. The appointment by Christie’s on November 14, in Geneva, is particularly interesting for high-end jewelers. And also for those who will be able to buys a piece that will make history: The Art of de Grisogono, Creation I, named after a unique necklace, which fits a 163.41 carat, D flawless and type diamond IIA.
A stone record
The extraordinary stone used and the composition of the jewel is a record. Not surprisingly, he was the founder and creative director of de Grisogono, Fawaz Gruosi, to drive all the work from the original rough diamond cutting of 404.20-carat “monster” to the completion of the necklace. The perfect white diamond is not only the largest in its category ever auctioned and the most precious stone that Maison has ever worked on, but is also representative of de Grisogono’s revolution, now close to the 25th birthday.
The story starts from Lulo
The big diamond has a date of birth: it was extracted on February 4, 2016, in the Lulo mine in East Angola. It was named 4 de Fevereiro, which is also the day Angola has begun the long way towards independence from Portugal. The diamond is the 27th in the ranking of the largest ever extracts, and the first one for size never found in Angola. To buy it was de Grisogono, thanks to the collaboration with the Nemesis International diamond trading company. The American Gemmological Institute in New York declared the rough stone a type IIA diamond and color D, that is to the top. From the rough diamond the cut stone of 163.41 carats, D color, was obtained, with the characteristic of Flawless purity. This is also a record.

The working phase
The diamond has remained 11 months to be analyzed and mapped to clamp, laser cut and finally polishing. The almost rectangular shape of the diamond led the cutter to opt for an emerald cut, performed on June 29, 2016 using the jewelery tradition instruments. The first cut was hand-made in New York in the presence of Fawaz Gruosi and his team, probably with some anxiety.
In December 2016, the 163.41-carat diamond left New York to reach de Grisogono’s headquarters in Geneva. On the table there are 50 design proposals. After two months to win is the design of an asymmetrical necklace with 163.41 carat diamonds in the center, emphasized by rectangular cut diamonds and emeralds. “I chose the emerald because I adore the green color and I love joining it with other stones. Green gives a fascinating contrast and enhances both colors. And then, good Italian, I’m superstitious. Green is a lucky color: you will often see it in my collections, “commented Fawaz Gruosi.
The transformation into jewelery
It took six months for the necklace, with a team of 14 craftsmen, including eight jewelers, five decorators and an engraver. All in all, 1700 hours in the ateliers of de Grisogono High Jewelry to manually work each stone of the necklace.
And here’s the necklace: a round neck with soft curves is characterized by two forms filled with gems that touch the neck. On the one hand, the 18 emerald diamond scales (ranging from 0.48 to 8.10 carats for a total of 48.64 carats) blend with bright green emeralds on the other side of the necklace. Each of the diamond bases is connected to the next on the bottom, imperceptibly, giving a great flexibility to the chain. The gold bases of each diamond are decorated with 862 diamonds brilliant cut, for a total weight of 6.52 carats, further enhanced by small emeralds embedded on the surface of each gold part. A total of 5949 emeralds have been embellished on the necklace, brilliantly cut from the weight of 38.84 carats.
On the other side of the necklace there is a white gold spiral embedded in emeralds and emerald cut diamonds tapering to the glacial charm of the diamond of 163.41 carats. In addition, 66 drops of emerald pear cut (from 120.42 carats weight) caress the skin and take on vibrating vibration read at every movement. To enhance the contrast between diamond white and emerald green, every visible gold component was plated in black rhodium, creating a chiaroscuro effect.

The base containing the 163.41 carat diamond is adorned with 399 diamonds brilliant cut, while the labels disappear under four baguette cut diamonds for a bright shiny effect. On the back of the base is engraved: 163.4 D Flawless. As if it were not enough, under the clip is concealed a 0.54-carat emerald, and the back of the necklace features refined finishes with the characteristic motif of the Maison.
The Future of Creation I
The diamond can be detached thanks to a complex mechanism developed specifically to allow easy removal of stone and ensure maximum safety. When the necklace has a legitimate owner, the Maison de Grisogono will propose to work in close contact to create other designs, for example a bracelet, a tiara or a brooch that can accommodate this unique diamond.
The Art of de Grisogono and Christie’s
With a diamond of this relief, it is a must for sale that is fairly. Having dealt with diamonds of greatest value in the world, de Grisogono and Christie’s have concluded an agreement for the sale of The Art of de Grisogono collections. Creation I will be the protagonist of the auction season in the evening sale of November 14th.
“Throughout its 251 years of activity, Christie’s had the privilege of treating the world’s most valuable and valuable diamonds. This perfect and sensational 163.41 carat diamond, suspended on an elegant emerald and diamond necklace, makes de Grisogono a Maison of rare excellence” commented Rahul Kadakia, international director of Christie’s Jewelery.

Rockfeller emerald sold to Harry Winston

The Rockefeller emerald sold to Harry Winston for $ 5.5 million from Christie’s ♦ ︎
The green gem with a story behind, the 18.04-carat emerald mounted on a ring, which for many years was owned by the Rockefeller family, was auctioned for $ 5.5 million (you can find the story here). Christie’s auction in New York also marked price record for each carat ($ 305,000) for an emerald sold in auction. The presale estimate was between $ 4 and $ 6 million: the price therefore don’t has get the maximum forecast, but went close. The emerald ring is now property by a famous Maison, the American Harry Winston, who had decided to conquer the gem at any price. The previous record belonged to an emerald mounted on a brooch of Bulgari and belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, sold for 6.5 million, that is, $ 280,000 per carat. What makes Rockfeller emerald is particularly valuable is its color, typical of the stones extracted in Colombia. American experts describe emerald as exceptional, with “an unusual combination of size, origin, lack of treatment and quality factors that contribute favorably to its rarity and desirability.”
Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction ended, in any case, with a total sale of over $ 26 million. The results above the estimates, says Christie’s, have been reached for jewelery from a private collection and signed by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany & Co., including a green tourmaline, diamond and gold necklace, a nephrite, amethyst and sapphire necklace and a pendant necklace with different enamels with a large sapphire drop. Stellar results were made by a group of Cartier Art Deco crates accessories, including a lacquered silver box ($ 235,000) and a Cartier tiara with pearls, coral and diamonds. Federico Graglia

Pasquale Bruni wins at Couture

At Pasquale Bruni the Haute Couture prize in the Las Vegas contest with the extraordinary 4th Chakra necklace, with 4549 diamonds ♦
We save you the hard work of counting them all: the diamonds of this extraordinary collier are 4549, for a total of 47.05 carats. In addition, there is an emerald of 16.68 carats. It is no surprise, then, that this jewel-masterpiece by Pasquale Bruni is the winners of the Couture Design Award 2017, a prestigious international prize that is awarded during the Couture 2017 in Las Vegas. Pasquale Bruni is the winner of the Haute Couture category chosed by five jury jury experts: Yossi Harari (judge-designer), Julie Thom (owner of Von Bargen’s), Melissa Geiser (jewelry buyer for Stanley Korshak), Katerina Perez and Daisy Shaw .
The collier is called 4th Chakra and consists of an expanse of light diamond flowers that form a heart woven with white gold threads and enriched by an emerald drop. Chakras in Indian philosophy are crucial points in the body, tied to a spiritual dimension. In this case, however, the first part of the human body engaged are the eyes. The drop of emerald, among other things, can be worn on the decolleté or fallen on the back. The necklace also adds soft chandelier earrings. Giulia Netrese

The six-faced emerald beaten by a pair of diamond earrings at Sotheby’s auction in New York ♦
The emerald Stotesbury, mounted on a ring with diamonds, designed by Harry Winston, was sold by Sotheby’s for $ 996,500, halfway through the starting estimate ($ 800,000 to $ 1.2 million). The colombian emerald from the unusual hexagonal cut, 34.40 carats, were part of an agreement involving the Hope diamond, which was signed 100 years ago between Cartier and hereditary Evalyn Walsh McLean. His intricate history, as well as his original form, had attracted attention to the auction held in New York.
The real big bang, instead, was done with a pair of earrings, with two 20-carat diamond, emerald cut, D, impeccable, sold at about $ 5.3 million, almost at the most of the initial estimate. With this contribution, Sotheby’s totalized totaled 29 million at Magnificent Jewels auction, with 85% of the sold lots. The earrings were bought by an anonymous Asian collector, who paid $ 131,481 per carat.

The adventures of an hexagon-shaped emerald 

An hexagon-shaped Classic Colombian emerald with an adventure story and other great pieces at auction at Sotheby’s ♦
The emeralds are usually cut with a roughly rectangular shape. Exceptions are rare. One of these is the Stotesbury emerald, one of the pieces put up for auction at Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels in New York on April 25. But the most surprising aspect is that, beside the rare hexagon-shaped this stone, there is a rather complicated and charming story. The 34.4 carat Colombian emerald, which has a sales estimate 800,000 to 1,2 million dollars, looks back on a path that began in 1908, when Cartier used it for a necklace intended heir of a mining empire, Evalyn Walsh McLean.
The emerald was combined with a diamond of 94.8 carats. Three years later, the Parisian house and Miss Walsh McLean, however, have started a dispute which ended in 1912 with emerald regained control of Cartier. Then the stone was purchased by Eva Stotesbury (hence the name), wife of a wealthy banker of Philadelphia. In 1946 the family sold the stone to the New York jeweler Harry Winston, which has mounted ring and sold it to Bonfils Stanton, another lady of high society. It was sold again and has been part of a private collection since 1971.
The emerald Stotesbury, in any case is not the only piece of rod class. There are, for example, 12 historic pieces of designer Louis Comfort by Tiffany. Or it should be noted a ring with a rare diamond from 1.64 carat Fancy Vivid Green, and a crossover ring set with two Fancy Vivid Blue diamond. Besides valuable piece are a pair of earrings with square emerald cut diamonds, both more than 20 carats and classified as D color, Internally Flawless, lla type with excellent finish and symmetry.

The two Mystery of Jacob & Co.

Mystery of Muzo, two exceptional Jacob & Co bracelets with two as much exceptional emeralds.
The mysteries, sometimes, it is better not reveal them. But other times the best thing to do is watch them closely. This is the case of Mystery of Muzo, presented at Baselworld by Jacob & Co. The two bracelets are characterized with two emeralds pear cut (quite unusual), of 74.33 carats and 70.57 carats. They are Colombian stones (Muzo is the name of the company which extracts the stones in the mine), vivid color, which make more fascinating the Mystery. The Geneva Maison says that to make the two bracelets it took two years.
In adding to the exceptional stones, bracelets show a geometric pattern made with black spinel cut by hand on 18 carat white gold. Needless to say that the bracelets are exceptional pieces, not only for their art-deco-inspired, but also for the 118.13-carat brilliant cut diamonds that wrap around the edges of each cuff, like rays that come from the top of the two emeralds. About the two Mystery it remains just a mystery: who will be able to purchase these memorable pieces of fine jewelry? Giulia Netrese
