Imagine turning up to your wedding donning a Fabergé tiara created in 1903 for a Prussian Crown Princess. Or offsetting a casual jeans and t-shirt outfit with a sapphire and diamond Art Deco bracelet crafted by Cartier in their Parisian workshops during the 1930s. These are the type of treasures that can be snapped up at auction houses around the globe, worlds apart from the offerings of retail stores (and often way below retail prices).
Simply put, many of the jewels offered at auction are unique pieces, whether they’re from a bygone era and no longer made today, by modern designers who limit their collections, or set with some of the world’s rarest and most beautiful gemstones. So what are the key features to look for when browsing an auction sale? Below are just some of today’s best buys guaranteed to create a knockout jewellery collection.
