Coloured Gemstones

Coloured gemstones remain among the most sought-after categories in Christie's jewellery auctions.

Jadeites

The sale includes an exceptional suite of jadeite jewellery, led by a jadeite bead and diamond necklace, featuring exceptionally substantial beads distinguished by their harmonious colour matching and seamless gradation. Further highlights include a rare jadeite bangle and a superb set of jadeite and diamond jewellery. Prized for its exceptional beauty, rarity and rich cultural significance across Asia, fine jadeite remains among the region's most coveted collecting categories. The selection showcases examples of exceptional quality, underscoring Christie's longstanding expertise in presenting jadeite of the highest calibre.

Natural Pearls

Natural pearls are admired for their understated elegance and layered symbolism of purity, power and tradition. Leading the category is a pair of natural pearl and diamond earrings by Van Cleef & Arpels, created in 1957 for the Duchess of Windsor, whose collection with the Duke of Windsor ranks among the most celebrated jewellery collections of the twentieth century. Each earring centres a black or white natural pearl within a surround of pear-shaped and round diamonds, and later formed part of the collection of renowned American designer Calvin Klein. Further highlights include a natural pearl and diamond necklace and a natural pearl and diamond brooch.

Jewellery from Renowned Houses

Showcasing emblematic designs and exceptional craftsmanship synonymous with the world's leading jewellery houses, the offering comprises a ruby, emerald and diamond 'mystery-set - Sublime' necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels, an iconic expression of 1980s jewellery design. Featuring floral motifs rendered in the Maison's signature 'Mystery-Set' technique, the necklace was later showcased in major institutional exhibitions across Asia and Europe. Further illustrating the Maison's mastery of this highly complex technique is a ruby and diamond 'Mystery-Set' floral brooch. Additional highlights include a multi-gem 'Baby Panthère' brooch by Cartier, celebrating the Maison's most enduring motif since 1914, alongside iconic creations by Bulgari, Graff, Harry Winston and Tiffany & Co., and works from Asian contemporary jewellery artists Cindy Chao and Wallace Chan.
