RAPAPORT... An Art Deco Cartier bracelet from a prominent female
collector is set to go under the hammer for $2 million to $3 million at
Sotheby’s November Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels sale in Geneva.
The center stone is a 47.07-carat, royal-blue Burmese
sapphire with high clarity, cut in a cabochon shape, flanked by two
pear-shaped, white diamonds weighing 9.27 carats and 8.60 carats. The bracelet,
made by Cartier in 1927, is one of several items the auction house will offer
from the collection, Sotheby’s said Wednesday. The unnamed Asian-American collector
amassed the jewels over five decades.
“This wonderful collection of jewels and gemstones was
clearly assembled with both passion and joy, and we know that they were
treasured and often worn by their owner,” said David Bennett, worldwide
chairman of Sotheby’s jewelry division. “The Cartier Art Deco bracelet is
stunning in its design; its central stone is a sensational Burmese sapphire of
the highest quality and color.”
Sotheby’s will also offer a Cartier ring set with an
11.20-carat, D-color diamond, with a presale estimate of $500,000 to $600,000,
and another by the jeweler featuring a 17.48-carat Burmese sapphire, valued at $350,000
to $550,000.
Highlights from the collection will be on view in New York
and Los Angeles in September, before heading on an international tour to Hong
Kong, Singapore, Taipei, London and Geneva prior to the November 11 and 13
sales.
