RAPAPORT... A ring with a 5-carat, fancy-vivid-blue diamond center stone and white diamonds will headline Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite fall sale in Hong Kong.
The Ai diamond, named after the Chinese word for love, is estimated
at $12.5 million to $15.3 million, the auction house said last week.
Several pieces by designer Wallace Chan will also go under
the hammer, including a pair of conch pearl, gem and diamond pendant
earrings, valued at $281,000 to $408,000; a tanzanite, chalcedony and diamond
ring, estimated at between $128,000 and $230,000; and gem-set, jade-and-diamond
pendant earrings carrying a presale estimate of $70,500 to $109,000.
Other notable items include two jadeite
bangles with a high estimate of $895,000, and a pair of fancy-vivid-yellow-diamond and white-diamond
earrings valued at $4.9 million to $6.1 million. Designs by Bulgari,
Van Cleef & Arpels and David Morris will feature in the sale as well.
Sotheby’s will preview the jewels from September 28 to
October 2, followed by the auction on October 3 at the Hong Kong Convention and
Exhibition Centre.
