Considering that our discerning estate jewelry customers love a good auction, we decided to keep everyone abreast of the best luxury auctions happening at the major auction houses each week. While scouring eBay and 1st Dibs for the next great find is always a fun pastime, nothing beats the thrill of the fine auction (nor the spoils!) Check them out below.
This week’s auction block is even more exciting than last week’s jewelry and watch bonanza. Of course, this is thanks in large part to the most fabulous auctions on American soil – Christie’s and Sotheby’s annual spring Magnificent Jewels auction (Christie’s includes the Princie Diamond!) If you thought you saw records broken last week, just wait until after Wednesday! of course, the other major auction houses aren’t slouching either – fabulous goods can be bought all over the world this week!
