Heritage Auction Galleries will offer up a “who’s who” of the top names in designer jewelry at its May 11 Signature Jewelry Auction.
Among the designer favorites that will be represented in the auction are Bulgari, Cartier, Harry Winston, Jean Schlumberger, Lalaounis, Seaman Schepps and Van Cleef and Arpels. In addition, a number of fine examples by contemporary artists will also be seen, including pieces by Andrea Molinari, Denise Roberge, Elizabeth Gage, Loree Rodkin and Paolo Costagli, among others.
“The designer component of our May auction is quite exciting,” Jill Burgum, Heritage’s fine jewelry director, said in a media release. “For people that know their designers, this auction represents a great opportunity to add some serious pieces to their precious-jewelry wardrobe.”
Burgum said that two lots in particular stand out: A platinum and diamond “Sunflower” bracelet by Harry Winston, and an art deco platinum, diamond, emerald and pearl necklace by Cartier. The Harry Winston piece carries a pre-sale estimate of $18,000 to $24,000, and the Cartier piece is expected to fetch between $20,000 and $30,000.
The sale will take place at the auction house’s Dallas headquarters, with bidders also expected to participate via the Internet.
