A Magnificent Diamond Ring and A Superb Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Ring
Contemporary creations from Enigma, Margherita Burgener Marina B. are refreshingly mixed with a selection of unique jewels from the likes of Buccellati, Boucheron, Cartier, Chaumet, David Webb, Grima, Mauboussin, Sterlé and Van Cleef & Arpels. Mid-century pieces, from the 1960s and 70s, are well-represented in the sale as well. Overall, this auction is on the smaller side, but what it lacks in quantity it surely makes up for in quality.
