Recognized as a national leader, the Jewels Department experienced an extraordinary year, with sales in 2024 exceeding €9.3 million.
Crowned by the sale of an exceptional Colombian emerald, which fetched over €1.6 million, the result set a new record not only for the department but for the entire auction house.
Among the most significant results of the past year were a 14.67-carat diamond ring by Marina B (€302,400) and signed Bulgari jewels from the 1960s, including a bracelet (€252,000) and two brooches adorned with diamonds and Burmese rubies (€220,500).
Stones of extraordinary calibre—rubies, sapphires, emeralds and natural pearls—are enhanced by the expertise of a team of certified gemologists and jewellery historians, who are able to highlight their uniqueness and allure.
In a market marked by growing demand for fine jewels, the department stands out for the excellence of the lots offered and the dedication to each client. This approach has been further strengthened by the introduction of advanced condition reports, tools that make each purchase more informed and intentional, bridging every gap.
Among the standout results for coloured gemstones were a Burmese ruby of approximately 2.90 carats mounted on a Bulgari ring (€375,000), a 9.10-carat octagonal Colombian emerald (€137,000), a 9-carat Kashmir sapphire set in a Wolfers Frères mounting (€750,000), and a 16.44-carat pear-shaped diamond, sold for over €1 million.
