In the world of the finest jewellery certain names have become as iconic and splendid as the diamonds, emeralds and rubies that are to be found within them.
Names such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and Bulgari have been and continue to be the very reference points on an international level for Fine Jewellery. A brooch in platinum by Cartier from 1910 is a superb example of this. It is in the shape of two drops interwoven in European-cut diamonds with a weight estimated at 3 carats. A further example of such works is a spectacular necklace by Boucheron from around 1950 with pierced oval links and decorated with ribbon motifs and milligrano, brilliant cut-diamonds with an estimated weight of 10 carats, the platinum is French stamped and bears the ‘Boucheron Paris’ signature. A brooch from the 1950’s has a delightful air-like elegance. It is in gold, rubies and diamonds and is in the shape of an ear of corn and is by Van Cleef & Arpels. The sac de soir by Bulgari from the 1960’s has an almost experimental appearance and is in gold with Roman coins and diamonds.
A necklace in white gold, rubies and diamonds from around 1940 is lavish in all its most essential elegance. It has a central motif with a heart-shaped diamond and an estimated weight of 2.20 carats, four drop-cut diamonds with an overall estimated weight of 2 carats. The necklace itself is in European-cut diamonds with an estimated weight of 4 carats with round-cut rubies at an estimated weight
of 7 carats.
Lastly, there are two rings of immense appeal and fascino such as the one in silver and gold from the closing years of the Nineteenth century with a sapphire of 11.83 carats and GRS certified, and a further solitaire ring in white gold and emerald-cut diamond with an estimated weight of 4.30 carats: both more than able to make a woman’s eyes shine brighter and her heart beat faster!
