Pat Frost, Director, Head of Fashion and Textiles and Geoff Young, Head of Jewellery said: “The first sale combining all three categories of Jewellery, Watches and Handbags at Christie’s achieved great results and welcomed a number of new clients to Christie’s. The highest prices were commanded for the Hermès handbags made of exotic leathers, with nine handbags exceeding £30,000 each. The top selling jewellery item in the sale was a princess-cut diamond ring of 5.04 cts, which sparked great interest and exceeded the pre-sale estimate of £15,000-20,000 to sell for £27,500. Further highlights included a brilliant-cut diamond ring of 6.70 cts which sold for £25,000, and an Hermès handbag charm bracelet which sold for £10,000.
