Keith Penton, Head of London Jewellery Department: “The London sale of Important Jewels saw international private clients actively competing for the top lots, particularly for signed iconic and unique jewels. The top lot, a colourful emerald and diamond suite, by Bulgari, from a private collection, doubled its pre-sale estimate, achieving £578,500. A stellar result for the superb pair of natural pearl earrings demonstrates the continued market demand for natural pearls of the finest quality. We look forward to the Jewellery sale at Christie’s South Kensington on Tuesday, 9th June.” |
