The jewellery auction of the 2nd and 3rd December 2021 made this busy auction week at Palazzo Crivelli shine, the sale ended with a result of more than € 2,7 million, 171% increase by value and 90% of the lots sold.
Extraordinary was the participation of the international public, with numerous bidders connected from all over Europe as well as from the United States, Israel, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Russia and Japan (to mention the main ones). A result that rewards the department's strategy in presenting a catalogue composed of few but selected specimens, including precious gems of significant carats, iconic jewels characterized by historical importance, but also by a more contemporary design. Shining among the adjudications are the ring with an oval sapphire of ct. 32.66 (lot 123, € 112,500), the table clock signed Fabergé (lot 132, € 100,000) and the elegant pendant earrings with round diamonds and baguette holding two round diamonds for a total of ct. 12.90 (lot 122, € 100,000).
