Auction: Fine Jewellery, Watches & Silver, 15th Jul, 2023

A Chalcedony, Sapphire and Diamond Flower Brooch by Suzanne Belperron, one of the most original and influential jewellery designers of the 20th century, is to be offered in the Fine Jewellery, Watches and Silver Sale. The brooch is the Property of a Lady, who was given it on her wedding day in 1952 by the Italian noblewoman Marchesa Maria Nunziate di Mignano. From the same vendor comes an Art Deco Diamond Bracelet, and amongst a host of other glittering jewels in the sale is a Diamond Cluster Ring featuring a fancy intense yellow cut-cornered rectangular diamond. 

Fine vintage and luxury watches include a rare Rolex 'Single Red Line' Submariner, a 1982 Patek Philippe Caltrava, and a limited edition Breitling Bentley. The silver section of the sale is led by a remarkable 18 carat gold three-piece George VI Café au Lait Service made by E. Silver and Co.  of Sheffield in 1947, and a fine pair of George II Provincial Silver Candlesticks, made in 1746 and 1747 by James Kirkup of Newcastle.
