A masterpiece of Parisian artistry from the golden age of haute joaillerie.

This extraordinary Sterlé & Diringer ruby and diamond necklace, circa 1935, exemplifies the fluidity, innovation, and technical brilliance that would later define Pierre Sterlé as one of the greatest jewelers of the 20th century. Featuring over 27 carats of diamonds and natural Burmese rubies, including untreated examples of exceptional rarity, the jewel transforms seamlessly from necklace to bracelet, with the central plaque converting into a clip.

Created during the brief and highly sought-after Sterlé & Diringer partnership, this remarkable piece represents an important chapter in jewelry history - where artistry, engineering, and elegance converge.

Estimate: £150,000–£250,000

A jewel worthy of the spotlight. ✨

This extraordinary Van Cleef & Arpels Retro diamond and gold bracelet, crafted circa 1940, once belonged to legendary soprano Lily Pons, one of the most celebrated opera stars of the twentieth century. At a time when Pons was captivating audiences at the Metropolitan Opera and becoming a household name across America, jewels like this were an essential part of her signature elegance both on and off the stage.

Visible on her left wrist in a 1967 portrait by Alexander Clayton, this remarkable bracelet remained part of her personal collection long after her greatest triumphs, serving as a glittering reminder of an era defined by glamour, artistry, and sophistication.

Signed Van Cleef & Arpels New York and weighing nearly 200 grams, this impressive creation is more than a jewel—it is a piece of history, connecting two icons of the twentieth century: one of opera and one of jewelry.

💎 Estimate: $100,000–150,000

Offered in Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction in New York on 9 June 2026.

There are moments when colour speaks louder than words.

Today, we found ourselves completely captivated by Boghossian’s extraordinary Kissing creations—Colombian emeralds suspended beside diamonds, luminous aquamarines, velvety tanzanites, delicate morganites and vibrant pink tourmalines, all brought together through the Maison’s signature Kissing technique. A poetic meeting of gemstones, where each stone seems to lean gently into the next, creating a dialogue of light, colour and craftsmanship.

Perhaps what fascinates us most is the harmony born from contrast—the way these remarkable gems retain their individuality while becoming part of something greater together.

We were fortunate to spend time immersed in these exceptional creations and simply couldn’t keep the experience to ourselves. Sharing a little of that wonder with you.

The red carpet didn’t just shine — it became sculpture.

At the Met Gala 2026, under the theme “Costume Art” and the dress code “Fashion Is Art,” jewellery stepped beyond ornament. It became part of the body—part of the form, the movement, the artwork itself.

Brooches were no longer accents, but statements of legacy—pinned with intention. Diamond scarves flowed like liquid light, dissolving the line between couture and jewellery. Tiaras returned with restraint, not spectacle—quiet, assured power. Meshes of brilliance moved with the body, turning every step into a play of craft, structure, and light.

From Rihanna’s commanding presence to Beyoncé’s sculptural opulence, from Nicole Kidman’s elegance to Emily Blunt’s precision, and Kylie Jenner’s modern edge—the night blurred every boundary between jewellery and art.

Because this year, jewels didn’t complete the look.
They became it.

Bulgari ‘Flora’ — 83.71 Carats of Untouched Burmese Fire

An important ‘Flora’ necklace by Bulgari — where architecture meets ardour.

Thirty oval Burmese rubies, together weighing 83.71 carats, unfold in a masterful bib of keystone and whistle-cut diamonds, punctuated by pear-shaped diamond florets and brilliant accents. Each ruby — ranging from 7.00 to 1.21 carats — is of Burma (Myanmar) origin with no indication of heat treatment, preserving the vivid intensity collectors quietly pursue and rarely secure.

Mounted in 18k white and yellow gold and measuring 36 cm, it rests at the collarbone like a cultivated blaze — opulent, composed, unmistakably Roman.

Published in Bulgari: 125 Years of Italian Magnificence and realised at HKD 29,240,000, this is high jewellery distilled to its essence: colour with conviction, structure with authority, legacy without compromise.

The Westminster Tiara by Chaumet

Few tiaras capture an era as completely as this one.

Created in Paris in 1911 by Joseph Chaumet for Constance, Duchess of Westminster, this extraordinary kokoshnik was commissioned on the eve of the coronation of George V — a moment when English court life set the standard for aristocratic grandeur across Europe.

Inspired by the halo-shaped kokoshniks of the Russian Imperial court, Chaumet reinterpreted tradition with Parisian refinement. Graduated panels of translucent royal blue plique-à-jour enamel form a luminous backdrop, overlaid with delicate trails of diamond-set forget-me-nots. Nearly 280 old-cut diamonds shimmer across platinum so finely worked it appears almost invisible — a testament to the technical liberation platinum offered in the Belle Époque.

Worn at the legendary Westminster Ball beneath the chandeliers of Grosvenor House, this tiara embodied a world defined by splendour, ceremony, and cultivated excess. Unlike so many tiaras of its time — dismantled as fashions shifted — it survived intact, later returning to the Westminster family before reappearing at auction in 2015, where it realised CHF 677,000.

A rare marriage of Russian grandeur and Parisian finesse.
Not merely a jewel — but a preserved fragment of a vanished world.

Suzanne Belperron — A Symphony of Pink and Blue, 1966

Of bib design and unmistakable spirit, this exceptional necklace captures the essence of Suzanne Belperron’s philosophy with remarkable clarity. Created in France in September 1966, the composition unfolds as a nuanced study of color rather than a display of hierarchy — morganites and pink topazes arranged in gentle, luminous gradations, interwoven with aquamarines shifting from icy to saturated blue, all quietly punctuated by old European-cut diamonds.

Belperron was known to choose stones not by formula, but by instinct — selecting them, as she famously said, because they winked at her. That intuition is palpable here. Every gemstone feels deliberately inevitable, placed not to impress but to belong. The diamonds do not dominate; they mediate. The colors do not compete; they converse.

Unsigned, as with nearly all of her work, the necklace requires no mark of authorship. Proportion, volume, and harmony serve as her signature. Sculptural yet fluid, opulent yet restrained, this piece resists the era that produced it — remaining as relevant today as it was nearly six decades ago.

More than an important jewel, this necklace is a manifesto rendered in gemstone — proof that true modernity is not achieved by novelty, but by conviction.

Sold at auction for $825,500, more than twice its highest pre-sale estimate, reaffirming Belperron’s enduring relevance and the market’s growing reverence for her vision.
