This is sooooooo beautiful in person. The current bid is at £245000 which is more than double the asking price when I tried it on in 2017!!! I wonder what it will fetch. . .

The bracelet ended up going for over $1.4 million, about double the estimate. Gorgeous.

Sigh...!
Glad that you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Ok, this is maybe the polar opposite of the Sotheby's bracelet but I kinda love it

Wait let me check the sock drawer...!

Well, someone already brought this (just now) at Skinner auction. But here it is for eye candy! FCD art deco ring each .75ct+ no cert
The estimate was $2000-3000 but it sold for $20,000 Mainly for the pink diamond, I guess?

Totally for the pink diamond, I would imagine. I eyeballed this and thought he estimate was low for something that was unlikely to be irradiated. Thank you for the eye candy @cloud_less --and glad I avoided the auction. Did anyone see what the Kashmir sapphire 3 stone went for?

This lantern with a diamond flame is giving me all the feels, never came across anything like this.

That is so cool.

Yeah, not sure why the estimate was so low but the hammer price was also higher than I expected, with premium it is 25k
I just checked, the Kashmir sapphire ring sold for $33,750!
It's from JP Morgan family. Photo for reference:

I really like this ring. But it's listed as "New without tags", not antique/vintage. (?)

That makes sense.

I pulled out some of my old jewelry catalogues- I thought I'd share some examples of the prices from long ago!
First is from 1917/1918. Check out the 29-carat diamond pendant and 80 carat necklace!



Next is from 1933- love all the platinum and diamonds!

and one more from 1917/1918

I love things like this! According to the inflation calculator, prices were just about the same as they are now. It's no wonder super large old cuts are so hard to find - not many people could afford them!

I love this, and the vendor seems willing to discount. I "favorited" it on ebay to remind me to share it here and they offered me like $110 off.
