Wow to think I handled a pearl that sold for 32 million Swiss francs is incredible @sothebys @sothebysjewels well done #finejewelry #auction #pearls #geneva #naturalpearls #incredible #worldrecord
I really liked these natural pearls, they have a great luster and I loved their shape.. great provenance and totally unique @sothebys @sothebysjewels #bourbonparmajewels #geneva #auction #naturalpearls #pearls #finejewelry
Great ruby and diamond brooch/hair ornament from the Bourbon Parma Collection selling shortly at Sotheby’s in Geneva. The Burmese ruby weighs 6.89cts and the central cluster is detachable and can be worn as a pendant circa 1900 in a fitted case stamped Bachruch A @sothebysjewels @sothebys #geneva #diamond #ruby #brooch can watch the auction online live

Van Cleef & Arpels never disappoints, their jewels sing quality from miles away. I love this brooch/pendant, very elegant @christiesinc @christiesjewels @davidwarrenchristies @vancleefarpels #brooch #diamonds #elegant #geneva
The Christie’s sale is tomorrow in Geneva and it will be very interesting to see what the market will highlight. This Cartier steel and diamond tiara made in 1912-1915 is exceptional. It was made in the atelier of Henri Picq’s @cartier @christiesjewels @davidwarrenchristies #tiara #steel #diamonds #geneva #auction
