Honestly? I'd probably contact the museum, at least for authentication. I imagine they'd be better equipped to advise you as to specific auction houses, but after that, I imagine it's be a quick trip to Sotheby's or somesuch. Alternately - I am assuming you are in the UK given the provenance of the item - try some of the high-end vintage jewelry shops? Shreve, Crump and Lowe, SJ Phillips, Bentley Skinner ...? Would definitely get comparison quote if I went that route, though.
