A Few Favorites From Hindman’s Palm Beach Auction

Share

Operating across the United States, Hindman is one of the country’s leading fine art auction houses. It’s hosting a fine jewelry auction in Palm Beach, Fla., chock-full of jewelry pieces as fabulous as the town itself. Kicking off on Thursday, the sale can be accessed through Hindman’s digital bid room (the bidding starts at 10 a.m. ET). Including everything from statement brooches to diamond-encrusted bracelets and more (there’s certainly no shortage of gems), we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite pieces from the event.

 

 

 

 

Tiffany & Co pineapple brooch
Schlumberger Pineapple brooch in 18k yellow gold with numerous round mixed-cut sapphires and seven round mixed-cut emeralds (estimate $4,000–$6,000); Tiffany & Co.

It doesn’t get much more “Palm Beach” than an 18k yellow gold pineapple brooch. This Tiffany & Co. piece designed by Jean Schlumberger is covered in round mixed-cut sapphires and emeralds (and topped with ​​one round cabochon emerald).

David Webb pendant
This pendant in 18k yellow gold with six cabochon gemstones and lapis lazuli (also shown at top) has an estimate of $2,000–$3,000; David Webb

A perfect example of David Webb’s work, this vibrant pendant puts color combinations at the forefront. It features a lapis lazuli disc and a hammered, 18k gold clasp adorned in cabochon gemstones.

Van Cleef & Arpels ring
Ring in yellow gold with an oval ruby cabochon and 1.7 cts. t.w. round brilliant-cut diamonds (estimate $6,000–$8,000); Van Cleef & Arpels

If an oversize oval cabochon ruby weren’t enough, Van Cleef & Arpels’ yellow gold cocktail ring is also covered in 56 round brilliant cut diamonds for some extra sparkle.

Van Cleef & Arpels pendant
Sailboat charm in 18k yellow gold with diamonds and gems (estimate $1,000–$2,000); Van Cleef & Arpels

A sweet sailboat charm, this depicts a window scene looking out over the ocean with a diamond boat, lapis lazuli inlay sky, malachite inlay ocean, and gemstone flower sitting on the sill. Just over an inch wide, it’s a little piece of wanderlust.

Boucheron bracelet
Vintage bracelet in 18k yellow gold and platinum with 6.42 cts. t.w. round brilliant-cut diamonds (estimate $5,000–$7,000); Boucheron

With 102 round brilliant cut diamonds delicately woven between twisted, 18k yellow gold rope, Boucheron’s vintage bracelet is all about the details.

Cartier thistle brooch
Thistle brooch in 18k yellow gold with 12 round mixed-cut rubies (estimate $2,500–$3,500); Cartier

Cartier’s 18k yellow gold brooch portrays a budding, textured thistle. It’s stamped and expected to sell for anywhere between $2,500 and $3,500.

David Webb panther ring
Panther ring in 18k yellow gold with jadeite and two round cabochon rubies (estimate $4,000–$6,000); David Webb

David Webb’s carved jadeite panther ring is certainly a statement piece. The two round cabochon rubies are set as the cat’s eyes.
