Rare Antique Jewelry at Christie’s Dubai Sale

Some rare antique jewelry will be auctioned this October 29 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai as part of the “Jewels & Watches, The Dubai Sale”, which will be conducted by one of the leading auction houses in the world, Christie’s.

There will be 145 pieces of jewelry and 42 various types of watches, which would be placed under the hammer. The estimated price for these pieces vary and the least expensive item is around US$3,000 while the most expensive is around US$2,000,000.00.

Here are some of the most interesting jewelry pieces from the whole collection:

The 1890 brooch on the left (above) is a very rare antique natural pearl and diamond snake brooch. Antique Jewelry specialists at Christie’s estimated its value and bidding would start at US$28,000. The Swiss Gemological Institute confirmed that they are natural saltwater pearls.

The emerald, ruby and diamond brooch on the right (above) was created by Cartier back in 1910 and was estimated to fetch around US$13,000 up to $18,000.

The necklace on the left (above) is described as “A Spinel, Pearl and Multi-Gem Fringe Necklace”. It has 13 spinel beads with table cut diamond stones, pearls and was made in India back in the 1950s. It is expected to fetch around $28,000-$30,000 along with the earrings. This item was not tested for the origin and consistency of the pearls.

The simple diamond necklace on the right (above) was made back in 1910 and is detachable to create three bracelets. This necklace is pretty much valuable and so Christie’s expected it to fetch around US$150,000 up to $250,000.

These antique pieces are truly a work of art. They have unique designs and I do believe that a lot of jewelry enthusiasts will try to bid on them. Those estimated prices would surely go up.
