Jewellery

Overview

From the outset, the jewellery section of our auction has always been extremely strong and highly regarded by our worldwide clients.

In recent years our Jewellery department has gone from strength to strength sourcing some incredible pieces of jewellery and achieving outstanding prices -often surpassing those achieved by international auction houses. We employ a number of consultants, some of whom are FGA and DGA qualified in gemmology and have years of experience working in jewellery departments for international auction houses.

Our auctions offer a wide range of jewellery as well as very individual and one-off pieces. We have auctioned jewels from the world-famous ateliers including Boucheron, Giuliano, Cartier, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co to name but a few.

The jewellery market is strong for coloured stones particularly sapphires, emeralds, aquamarines and rubies, and we have achieved ehigh prices for them. High quality diamonds are always desirable and we recently sold a Garrard’s 4ct diamond ring for an incredible £31,000 (plus buyers premium) and a stunning diamond riviere necklace for £47,000 (plus buyers premium). 

The market for Georgian jewellery, pieces made between 1714-1837 is stronger than it has ever been. In line with fashion, buyers are looking for individuality, classic style and exceptional quality – three great characteristics of Georgian jewellery. As fashion develops so did jewellery and many Georgian items of jewellery were adapted or changed with some being melted down, as a result untouched original items in their original cases are selling for outstanding prices at auction. 

Expertise, experience and passion are what our experts bring to the team, and they have valued and sold some notable fine jewellery private collections in recent times.
