Leading the sale is a ring set with a 1.08-carat fancy vivid pink diamond. The stone is internally flawless and has an exceptionally pure color. It is expected to sell for between $500,000 and $640,000.
Another standout piece is the Kat Florence “Lumina,” a 181.61-carat unmounted paraiba-type tourmaline from Mozambique. This gemstone is untreated and displays a rich greenish-blue hue. Bonhams considers it one of the finest of its kind. It carries an estimated value between $385,000 and $640,000.
The auction will also include several signature pieces from Cartier. These include a platinum Panthère bracelet decorated with diamonds and buff-top sapphires. The bracelet features two panther heads with emerald eyes and onyx noses. Other Cartier items include a rare Art Deco brooch and a diamond Agrafe demi-parure.
Jewels by other prestigious designers will also be offered. Highlights include ruby earrings by Harry Winston and a vivid yellow diamond ring weighing 7.03 carats. A black opal and diamond ring by Mikimoto will be up for sale, along with Colombian emerald earrings, unheated spinels, and a sapphire and garnet necklace by de Grisogono.
