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.

More about Jesmond

Tyne & Wear, England

Jesmond in Tyne & Wear sits right next to the sea and has a bit of a character all its own. We usually find a theatre or cinema nearby for an evening out without needing to drive far. The local shops often have markets that feel like a proper community gathering rather than just a Tuesday morning chore. Pub nights and live music sessions keep the rhythm going through the week. You can catch a film at the picture house or wander down to see what the artists are up to in the gallery spaces. Near Here has all the details so you don't have to waste time hunting for tickets on a Friday night.
