Today\u2019s auction of Important Jewels at Sotheby\u2019s New York totaled $16,383,856 \u2013 well above its $14 million low estimate \u2013 and was 79.3% sold by lot. This marks another strong total for our jewelry sales in New York, coming just $100,000 shy of last year\u2019s record for a September jewelry auction at Sotheby\u2019s.

\u201cWe were very pleased with the solid results of today\u2019s sale,\u201d <\/i>commented Gary Schuler, Head of Sotheby\u2019s Jewelry department in New York. \u201cWe saw particularly strong prices for unique color diamonds, led by the fancy light pink diamond that soared to $1,426,500 above a high estimate of $700,000. While many of our top ten prices came from American trade buyers, both signed jewels and stones under 10 carats brought spirited bidding from collectors worldwide. Jewels from the estate of Kitty Carlisle Hart, which we were delighted to offer, doubled their overall low estimate and were led by her beautiful art deco diamond sautoir that achieved $146,500 (est. $60\/80,000). And in a continuation of a trend we have observed in recent years, natural pearls remain a strong segment of today\u2019s market.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n


<\/i><\/b><\/span>\u201cWe now look forward with great excitement to next week\u2019s sale of Property from the Estate of Brooke Astor, which will offer a wonderful selection of the icon\u2019s personal jewels in the Tuesday afternoon session.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
