DALLAS, TX.- Friday nights are the perfect time to relax and indulge after a long week. Heritage Auctions is offering an evening of pleasant surprises with "Friday Night Jewels,” a curated boutique online auction to showcase a range of jewelry with estimates between $2,000 and $10,000.

Bidding is now open for the first auction, which closes at 8 p.m. (Central time) Jan. 31 on HA.com. Upcoming FNJ auctions will take place June 5 and Oct. 16, also on HA.com.

The current trend supports women self-purchasers who are buying what they like, when they want. Face it, how often have we all said, "it’s been a long week, I deserve it”?

"This new auction is designed to be fun” says Heritage Auctions Fine Jewelry Senior Director Jill Burgum. "We have a wonderful selection of colorful contemporary jewels offered at affordable prices.” So, pour a glass of wine, sit back, relax, bid, sip and repeat. Your Friday Night guilty pleasure awaits.

Jewelry includes fashion-forward designer brands such as Cartier, Lalaounis, Di Modolo and Henry Dunay, among others.

Top lots in the debut Friday Night Jewels auction include, but are not limited to:

· Diamond, White Gold Necklace, Di Modolo (estimate: $7,000-9,000)

· Diamond, Platinum, White Gold Bracelet (estimate: $6,000-8,000)

· Diamond, Gold Earrings, Charles Krypell (estimate: $6,000-8,000)

· Gold Jewelry Suite, Lalounis (estimate: $6,000-8,000)

· Diamond, Platinum Ring (estimate: $7,000-9,000)

The new auctions not only fulfill an increasing demand among buyers, they also provide another channel benefitting consignors. "We have three extraordinary Signature® sales each year,” Burgum said. "Adding these FNJ sales will allow consignors to reach a new audience without having to wait for the next Signature® sale to come around.”
