Did anyone else look through the catalogue for this? It is online at http://www.christies.com/. There are some beautiful things, red spinels, Paraibas. But there are also a pair of spess earrings that are so brown, and the estimate is over 86k! And these Paraibas look like aquamarine to me.

I much prefer these spess.

Not only are they of unusually excellent crystal, but they are huge!!
 
I like the spinel necklace too!
 
Well again IF the photos are accurate, I'm not loving any of them. The large spinel is nice in color, but the window makes it look like a huge coffee table. The other spinel, in the ring, looks like a garnet.

Wow, good PS work. Just goes to show you that you have to be a smart shopper even at a Christies Auction. ;)

I almost wondered if the pictures were not accurate....you expect more at those prices...

Well, um yes. If they're going to hold an auction called "Magnificent Jewels," I would imagine they would be magnificent. Maybe they're just rotten photos. :wacko:

They just say magnificent, they don't say in what regard. So it could be magnificently overpriced.
