When it comes to auction’s houses with the most priceless jewels, Sotheby’s is definitely a frontrunner. The auction house’s autumn sale slated for October 19 will only re-instill this belief. The auction titled Important Jewels will boast some of the most precious and exquisite jewels and is estimated at more than $9 million. The various jewels featured in this sale are from private American collections and a selection of high-quality white diamonds and signed and period pieces. The centerpiece or the show stopper of this sale is the gorgeous pear-shaped diamond ring. Weighing 29.53 carats, this precious D color stone has been determined by the Gemological Institute of America to be potentially flawless and type lla. This exquisite ring is estimated to fetch between $1,800,000 and $2,400,000 i.e. around $61,000 per carat. The ring, which is on offer from the Property of a New York Estate collection, is sure to fetch its estimated sum. Dazzling and shining, this ring will certainly bedazzle bidders.
Besides this ring, the other jewels on auction at this sale are a beautiful diamond studded butterfly brooch-Bulgari (est. $50,000-$70,000), platinum, and diamond Barrette (est. $20,000-$30,000).
