Sotheby's forthcoming jewellery sale of Magnificent Jewels in Geneva will take place on 17 May 2007 in the reception rooms of the Beau-Rivage Hotel. In addition to the regular Magnificent Jewels sale, noble pieces of jewellery will also be on offer in a special sale this year - the 20th anniversary of the sale of the Duchess of Windsor's jewellery collection.
David Bennett, Chairman of Jewellery, for Sotheby's Europe & the Middle East, says: “Continuing Sotheby's exceptional record of offering jewels with noble provenance, for instance the 1987 sale of the collection of the Duchess of Windsor, the 1992 sale of jewels from the princely house of Thurn und Taxis, the sale of pieces from the French Crown Jewels in 1997, and more recently, the Russian Imperial necklace which belonged to Catherine the Great, this May we will be offering a whole selection of jewels from various aristocratic collections."
"Along with our extensive sale of Magnificent Jewels, we are excited to be showing highlights from the sale of Noble Jewels at various Sotheby's locations around the world.”
