Jewellery' Christie's Paris Jewellery Auction Highlights, 10.56 ct Kashmir Sapphire, Van Cleef & Arpels Zip Necklace
Jul 11, 2022
From June 23 to July 12, Christie's Paris is holding an online auction of "Joaillerie", presenting nearly 300 jewelry items, with a focus of 10.56 ct Kashmir unburned sapphires, 25.40 ct cushion-cut diamonds, 1964 Van Cleef & The Arpels Zip necklace, and a cheetah necklace by French jeweler René Boivin in 1980.
The highest valuation in the whole market was a 10.56 ct pillow-shaped Kashmir unburned sapphire, identified by SSEF and Gübelin, and the old mine cut can see obvious angular wear, estimated at 300,000-400,000 euros. The second highest estimate was a diamond ring set with 25.40 cushion-cut diamonds, surrounded by a sapphire ring of center stone, which cleverly set off the brilliance of the diamond, with an estimated value of 280,000-300,000 euros.
The jeweler's most notable piece is the 1964 Van Cleef & Arpels Zip necklace, a very iconic Van Cleef & Arpels "zipper" design necklace that offers two ways to wear it, with rubies and diamonds on the sides, and gold tassels to create a luxurious visual effect.
It will also feature a collection of jewellery originally owned by French designer Jean Fouquet, covering iconic jewelry designs from the Art Nouveau period to the 1950s in the early 20th century, most notably a sapphire ring made in 1940 with a center stone 7.14 ct pillow-shaped Burmese sapphire, designed in a distinct Art Deco style, is estimated at €50,000-80,000.
