Lot 348: An Art Nouveau platinum, pearl and diamond brooch
Lot 348 - a beautifully made brooch crafted in platinum - is a rare example of Art Nouveau jewellery, possibly the best era for fine jewellery for collectors seeking quality, design, and elegance. The pearl and diamond brooch is designed in a fan shape, with stylised winged openwork set throughout with old-brilliant-cut diamonds, a central single pearl measuring 10.8 mm x 9.4 mm, and a suspended pearl drop measuring 10.4 mm x 9.5 mm x 10 mm. The brooch has an estimate of between £4,000 and £6,000 plus fees.
Lot 325: A Belle Epoque, platinum and diamond lavaliere pendant necklace
Lot 325 is another fine example of jewellery produced in the first decades of the 20th Century. The platinum and diamond lavaliere necklace is complete with no alterations and features a series of old-brilliant-cut diamond-set navette-shaped links. The necklace has a central kite-shaped panel pendant set with old-brilliant cut diamonds suspending diamond triple row fringe drops with smaller drop spaces - all suspended by three rows of seed pearl chains. Dating to 1915, the piece is of exceptional quality and comes with an estimate of £4,000 to £6,000 plus fees.
Lot 345:A Victorian gold and turquoises snake necklace
Heading the antique section of the sale is an early Victorian gold and turquoise necklace dating from the 1840s. Lot 345 has been skillfully engineered with graduated links, giving the necklace good flexibility. These ‘snake’ necklaces appear in many forms, however, this one is less common: the necklace is set with turquoise collets and features a snake head set with diamonds and ruby-set eyes. With an estimate of £5,000 to £7,000 (plus fees), Lot 345 is a unique piece sure to draw attention.
Lot 299 is a very attractive Jadeite necklace, made of good medium apple green beads and accompanied by a report stating that the beads show no indications of colour enhancement. Among a fine selection of necklaces, Lot 299 is a wonderful piece and comes with a £2,500 to £3,000 estimate plus fees.
Lot 147: Cartier. A very rare 18ct white gold and diamond set asymmetrical wristwatch
As part of the selection of watches at this auction, Roseberys are delighted to be offering a very rare and exciting white gold and diamond set Cartier Crash wristwatch from 1998. Popular urban legend suggests that the idea for the Crash came when a client of Cartier brought in his Baignoire (which had been damaged during a car accident) for repair in the London Maison in 1967. Another popular story suggests that the inspiration behind the design came from Dali’s Surrealist masterpiece The Persistence of Memory. While it may be the case that neither tale is true, the Crash design certainly captures the flamboyant and exuberant spirit of London in the 1960s. Lot 147 is estimated at £45,000 to £55,000 (plus fees) and offers a wonderful opportunity for a collector to buy an exceptional and highly desirable piece.
