Sotheby’s will host its High Jewelry auction this June in New York, featuring a remarkable mix of historic and contemporary pieces. The spotlight will fall on jewels from the estate of Emily Vanderbilt Wade, along with rare natural colored diamonds and modern designs from world-renowned jeweler Graff.
Four pieces from the Vanderbilt-Wade estate will be among the highlights. These jewels carry the legacy of two famous American families. Emily Vanderbilt Wade was a descendant of the wealthy Vanderbilt family and the Wade family, known for founding Western Union. Her collection reflects the luxury of the Gilded Age and a strong history of philanthropy.
Sotheby’s calls the auction “an extraordinary intersection of history, romance, and rarity.” The sale will also include vivid pink, blue, and green diamonds. These fancy colored diamonds are among the rarest in the world and are expected to draw global interest.
Modern craftsmanship will also be on display. A special selection of high jewelry from Graff will be featured. Known for its expert cutting and bold use of color, Graff’s designs bring a fresh perspective to traditional luxury. These pieces are shown alongside historic jewels, creating a conversation between past and present in jewelry design.
Some items in the sale also have deeply personal stories. A number of jewels come from a couple whose love lasted more than 60 years. These pieces add emotional depth to the auction’s historical and artistic value.
With strong interest expected from collectors, Sotheby’s June auction may become one of its most important jewelry sales of the year. The event offers a rare chance to own jewels that are not only beautiful but also rich in history and meaning.
