Bonhams’ Jewels and Jadeite auction in Hong Kong on November 26 will feature jewelry pieces by Tiffany & Co., including those by “renowned designer Jean Schlumberger,” Rough & Polished reports.
A private collection belonging to a Canadian philanthropist includes ten individual pieces, seven of which were designed by Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. One highlight is Tiffany’s Soleste ring – a platinum and 18-karat rose gold ring set with a 10.56-carat round brilliant-cut diamond surrounded by fancy pink and round brilliant-cut diamonds. The Soleste ring has a pre-sale estimate of HK$3.2 million to HK$6.3 million (USD $4-8 million).
Another highlight is a handcrafted 18-karat gold diamond tulip necklace with an articulated cascade of multi-textured gold tulips with distinctive buds. “Interspersed among the tulips are delicate gold bows, scrolls of pave-set diamonds and diamond-set butterflies and dragonflies,” according to the reports.
