RAPAPORT... Sotheby’s will sell a range of nature- and autumn-themed jewelry
at its London auction this month, featuring designer brands such as Cartier and
Buccellati.
Lots under the hammer at the Fine Jewels sale on September
20 will include a Cartier bracelet from the 1940s designed as a vine, with
flowers set with citrines and the leaves featuring single- and circular-cut
diamonds. The auctioneer has estimated the piece at $25,900 (GBP 20,000)
to $38,800.
The event will also feature a Cartier-signed brooch modeled
as a cockatoo (pictured), containing carved sapphires, brilliant-cut diamonds and blue
enamel, as well as oval rubies for the eyes. It sits on a perch of baguette
diamonds. Sotheby’s expects it also to fetch $25,900 to $38,800.
A brooch designed as a bramble branch, also appearing at the
auction, features single-cut diamond petals with carved leaves from nephrite
and carved berries from other stones. Its price estimate is $3,400 to $4,500.
Other seasonal jewels include a Cazzaniga-signed brooch that
looks like ivy climbing up a ladder, and a Buccellati brooch modeled as three
acorns and oak leaves.
