Sotheby's NY- The International Connoisseur Jewels and Watches

Live Auction: 15 September 2022

10:00 EDT New York USA SALE NUMBER N11129

The sale features several impressive gemstones. Highlights include a magnificent 20.18 carat Kashmir sapphire mounted as a pendant and a 13.01 carat Burmese sapphire ring. Three fancy colored diamond rings including a 1.05 carat Fancy Intense Pink, a 2.73 carat Fancy Intense Purple-Pink, and a 3.09 carat Fancy Vivid Yellow offer a range of enticing hues. The sale also presents outstanding jewels that combine artistry with distinctive style. Five vintage Cartier pieces are particularly noteworthy.

A lush ‘Tutti-Frutti’ brooch with large carved sapphires, an intricate two-panel diamond bracelet, a chic geometric diamond clip-brooch, and a delicate diamond jardinière brooch with ruby beads all exemplify the sophistication and craftsmanship of early 20th century Cartier jewellery. A scarce ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ charm bracelet made in cooperation with the Disney studio represents a more whimsical side of the famous jeweler. More modern pieces such as a diamond and sapphire ‘Virgo’ brooch by Van Cleef & Arpels and a diamond and ruby ring by JAR demonstrate how high levels of artistry persist in the jewellery-making of the present day.
