Fine Jewellery Auction

Antique Jewellery is the flavour of this auction, with one particular piece which dates back more than 2,000 years. Lot 500 is a ring set with a gold coin from the Kingdom of Macedonia during the reign of Alexander the Great. Fast-forwarding two millennia, there are a good number of pieces from the Georgian and Victorian periods, including a fabulous tiara with brooch fittings, multiple hardstone cameos, and a lovely banded agate necklace with matching chandelier earrings. Historically interesting is a Women's Suffrage necklace, Lot 469, by Hugo Schaper of Berlin, in its original box. There are still some great 20th Century pieces for those with more modern tastes, with big brand names such as Fabergé , Tiffany and Van Cleef & Arpels. If you have any similar items and are considering selling, don’t hesitate to get in touch and our specialists will be delighted to discuss including them in one of our upcoming auctions. Request a free valuation through our simple online form and our team will be in touch with straightforward, expert advice.
