The November 11 auctions, hosted by Sotheby's, will comprise the High Jewellery and Royal & Noble Jewels sales. The former will feature the 8.63-carat fancy-intense-pink, VS2-clarity, type IIa diamond, which is expected to return $USD6 million ($AUD8.7 million). The latter will focus on historic, royal, and aristocratic items.
Both auctions will include pieces from leading jewellery designers including Cartier, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, and JAR, alongside items with private-collection provenance.
The Royal & Noble Jewels sale will feature a Cartier bracelet set with a 197.80-carat Romanov Ceylon sapphire. It will also include a Cartier necklace formerly owned by Mary Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. This piece features five detachable black opal brooches that can be worn as a tiara.
Additional highlights include a sapphire and emerald toi et moi ring, a former royal demi-parure, and an 1862 diamond tiara by Mellerio dits Meller.
