Diamonds are a girl’s best friend — but so are sapphires, rubies, and emeralds.
And Christie’s knows this — which is why the world-famous auction house is hosting its “Magnificent Jewels” auction on July 29, part of a larger “Jewels Online” sale set to last from July 22 to August 7. Including a selection of over 260 jewels from the likes of Bulgari, Cartier, Harry Winston, and Tiffany & Co., all are expected to sell for big bucks: The auction estimates for each lot range from $10,000 to $7 million, according to a press release.
The “Magnificent Jewels” sale, launching today, is led by a selection of white diamonds — including a 115.83-carat pear-shaped diamond necklace, expected to sell for between $5 million and $7 million. Other diamonds hitting the auction block include a blue 7.16-carat ring (estimated to sell for between $3.5 million and $5 million) and a 33.65-carat yellow diamond ring (estimated to go for $525,000 to $625,000).
But of course, out of the 260 pieces on offer, these three diamonds are just a small selection of the available lots. Here are 8 of the most expensive pieces expected to sell at Christie’s “Magnificent Jewels” auction, listed in order of ascending estimated auction price.
