On 25 and 26 May, Italian auction house Cambi Casa d'aste will host its three spring jewellery sales. The trio begins with the Spring Jewels auction and a catalogue dedicated to a rich selection of pearls, precious pens, enamels and watches. Here are some of the highlights not to be missed.
Among the various lots, we point out this delightful necklace with Australian pearls and diamonds.
This arieti necklace with a 22-karat yellow gold setting, stamped, definitely stands out as well.
Playful, colourful and original, these three Sabbadini ladybug earrings boast rubies, sapphires, yellow sapphires, onyx and diamonds and yellow gold settings.
After these sales, Cambi will hold their Fine Coral Jewels sale featuring a selection of important coral jewels, much loved and sought after by collectors from all over the world. In this round, more than 200 lots created with Mediterranean coral, Satsuma, Bokè, Miss, Aka, Deep Sea and Sciacca will be offered, a material that never goes out of style and transports our imagination to ancient Greece and Rome.
Among the most interesting pieces is this important coral necklace with graduated beads in white gold with pavé diamonds.
Also noteworthy is the necklace with coral beads and murrine.
Finally, among the lots in this Fine Coral Jewels catalogue is this three-strand coral necklace with onyx and diamonds and a 750/1000 yellow gold setting.
26 May will be totally dedicated to the Fine Jewels catalogue, the selection of the most prestigious lots suitable for sophisticated collectors who are also interested in investment pieces. Diamonds, solitaires, pearls and many other precious items round out the offerings.
Among the top lots we find two rings: one is the wonderful emerald-cut solitaire weighing 11.75 carats from Harry Winston New York.
The next ring is the Bulgari 'La dolce vita' with a 7.74 carat fancy vivid yellow diamond and diamonds.
Also not to be missed is this set made up of a necklace of gold pearls of good quality, and a pair of earrings with brilliant-cut diamonds, in yellow gold and 750/1000 white gold.
Particularly noteworthy is the Rivière necklace composed of 168 platinum diamonds commissioned to Horowitz by a family of Lombard industrialists, as well as this refined tiara in platinum, diamonds and natural half pearls. Tiaras are precious objects highly sought after and admired by a large group of collectors, and their market value has risen to an unprecedented level over the past decade.
