Taking place on Wednesday 18 November, our Fine Jewellery auction presents a distinguished selection of antique, period and modern jewels, from classic designs to signed creations by renowned houses including Cartier, Hermès, Boucheron and Garrard.
For this sale, we are delighted to once again collaborate with British fashion brand, Beulah London. We invited co-founders Lady Natasha Finch and Lavinia Brennan to select some of their favourite pieces from the auction and share their approach to styling them.
Throughout the catalogue, Beulah London's refined dresses have been paired with jewels from the sale for a series of model shots that celebrate the considered interplay between fashion and fine jewellery. Beulah London is a fashion brand whose commitment to sustainable luxury is underpinned by its work empowering vulnerable women affected by modern slavery. Beulah London works with craft communities and impact partners, incorporating techniques such as hand-weaving and embroidery into its collections while helping provide training, income and long-term opportunities for women affected by poverty, trafficking and exploitation.
No. 1
Lot 24: A cultured pearl and diamond necklace | Est. £700-1,000 (+ fees)
"I adore the way the diamond flower sits among the pearls. It’s elegant and quietly romantic, the kind of piece that feels special and would go so well with many of our evening dresses."
No. 2
Lot 137: A pair of sapphire and diamond earrings | Est. £3,000-5,000 (+ fees)
"Sapphires have always been my stone; my engagement ring is a sapphire, and I wear a lot of navy, so these feel very special. The baguette diamonds give them a lovely vintage feel."
No. 3
Lot 105: Hermès, a diamond 'Collier de Chien' bangle | Est. £3,000-5,000 (+ fees)
"There is something so satisfying about a beautifully polished bangle. It’s understated and effortless, and I can easily imagine wearing it every day."
No. 4
Lot 151: A late 19th century diamond bow brooch | Est. £3,000-5,000 (+ fees)
"I can never resist a bow, and this one is a little piece of history too. I love the thought of pinning something over a century old to a jacket or a coat and adding a touch of sparkle."
No. 1
Lot 22: A sapphire set gold case, London 1948 | Est. 2,500-3,500 (+ fees)
"My grandmother always carried a gold case very similar to this in her handbag, so it immediately reminded me of her. She was incredibly glamorous and has always been something of a style icon to me."
No. 2
Lot 51: An 18 carat gold T-bar collar necklace | Est. £1,500-2,000 (+ fees)
"I'm really enjoying layering my necklaces at the moment, and a gold T-bar necklace has been on my wish list for a long time. I love how this one makes a statement but would still work beautifully with my everyday jewellery."
No. 3
Lot 40: A pair of diamond cufflinks | Est. £800-1,200 (+ fees)
"I find myself wearing a lot of shirts at this time of year, and I love the idea of adding a pair of diamond cufflinks. They're such a beautiful way to elevate a simple outfit and take it from day to evening."
No. 4
Lot 61: A diamond tennis bracelet | Est. £700-1,000 (+ fees)
"A diamond tennis bracelet is such a timeless piece. I love how understated it is, yet it instantly makes an outfit feel a little more special. It's something I would wear every day."
No. 5
Lot 93: Zolotas, a ruby and sapphire dress ring | Est. £400-600 (+ fees)
"I love mixing delicate jewellery with slightly chunkier, more statement pieces, particularly when they have beautiful detailing. The hammered gold finish of this ring is gorgeous, and I love the combination of rubies and sapphires."
No. 6
Lot 129: A 1960s French gem set disc charm | Est. £300-500 (+ fees)
"I love the idea of wearing this beautiful gold charm on a longer chain, layered with shorter necklaces. The little lovebirds and coloured gemstones give it such a playful, romantic feel."
