Earlier this month there was an auction in Geneva that featured Christie’s Geneva jewels that had come together from French, British and Indian royal families throughout the years. All of the items featured are extremely nice luxury jewels that feature tons of different gems in them and cost a ton of money. Despite there being such a large collection, there was one piece of jewelry that was getting plenty more attention than the rest; a pair of Bulgari pear-shaped diamond earrings that were expected to sell from anywhere between $12 and $15 million.
These earrings are considered to be an extremely nice pair that some would say are actually perfect. The ear pendants feature a ton of different diamonds that come together to weigh 19.28 carats with an additional 6.95 carat blue diamond that is absolutely stunning and paired with a 6.79 carat pink diamond. These two colors blend so nicely together and really round out the earrings and separate them from the traditional glitz of only having traditional white diamonds.
Another highly sought after piece of jewelry at the auction is a brooch that was originally created in 1855 and belonged to an empress of France. The piece was also once a part of the French Crown Jewels, which have died out over the years and it is now very rare to encounter original condition pieces from the collection. The brooch was anticipated to bring in $2 or $3 million depending on desire. Many of the featured jewelry in the auction is very nicely crafted, featuring detailed designs and plenty of interestingly shaped pieces. There are onyx and diamond tiger pieces, a cushion shaped sapphire and more.
Altogether the Geneva auction would be looking to bring in millions from the massive auction collection. The rarity of everything makes it all the more desirable, especially when the jewelry is coming from royal families or collections; giving them a large historical value as well.
