Dreweatts' Fine Jewellery auction on 12 June sparkled with great prices achieved for the many beautiful and exclusive pieces on sale, including items by Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

The bidding was lively, in person, on the telephone and across multiple online bidding platforms, with an overall sales result of over £1.25m (including buyer's premium), 213% of the pre-sale estimate.  88% of the 226 lots sold, with 131 lots (59%) selling above high estimate.  Natural pearls and pieces by Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels were particularly popular, with every piece by Van Cleef & Arpels exceeding its high estimate. The most highly contested pieces were two charm bracelets by Van Cleef & Arpels, one suspending six ‘Lovebird’ disc charms and a holly disc charm, the other suspending eight figural bells, which sold for an astonishing £106,450 and £118,950 respectively, beating any previous auction prices for such pieces.
