Fine Jewellery & Vintage Diamond Watches — Emeralds, Sapphires, Rubies & Statement Brooches | Auction 24–25 Feb

Our upcoming February auction presents an exceptional selection of fine jewellery and vintage jewellery featuring brilliant diamond-set pieces and elegant coloured gemstones. This curated group is designed for collectors and style connoisseurs seeking timeless sparkle, wearable investment pieces, and classic forms that never go out of fashion.

From diamond-set ladies’ wristwatches with ornate openwork settings to bold cocktail rings and sculptural diamond brooches, this collection offers strong variety and instant presence. Coloured stones bring extra desirability: rich sapphire blues, vivid emerald greens, and vibrant ruby tones, paired with diamond brilliance for maximum impact.

• Diamond-set vintage ladies’ wristwatches with decorative, high-jewellery style cases (ideal for collectors of mid-century/retro glamour)
• Ruby-and-diamond bracelet with a striking central cluster and stone-set links
• Sapphire-and-diamond jewellery including floral/spray-inspired designs and a deep-blue statement ring
• Emerald-and-diamond pieces including a leaf motif set and an emerald-accent ring
• Diamond brooches in classic ribbon/bow and floral forms — perfect for lapels, eveningwear, or collecting
• Diamond line necklace (rivière/tennis style) — the ultimate timeless essential
• Bold pavé link bracelet with contrasting light/dark stones for a modern statement look

Why collectors bid on estate jewellery at auction

Buying jewellery at auction is a powerful way to access one-of-a-kind designs, vintage craftsmanship, and gem-set statement pieces—often with more character than contemporary retail. Collectors look for strong stones, quality settings, iconic silhouettes (brooches, rivière necklaces, cocktail rings), and pieces that elevate both everyday luxury and special-occasion styling.

Viewing recommended (important for gemstones & diamonds)

We strongly encourage in-person viewing to assess brilliance, colour, setting condition, and overall craftsmanship. Our specialists can also guide you through key considerations such as stone appearance, mount style, and wearability.
