JAR Jewels Up For Auction


Big stones always attract attention at auction but in terms of jewelry designers it could be said that no one creates as much as buzz as the designer JAR. The designer's pieces always seem to sell well at auction and have tremendous value to collectors. Christie's jewelry auction on April 22 in New York will see five JAR pieces up for sale, two brooches and three pairs of ear clips.

The most expensive JAR piece up for sale is shown above. It is a sapphire, diamond, violet sapphire and pearl brooch. The center cushion cut stone is approximately 52.57 carats surrounded by pave set violet sapphires with diamond trefoils and pearl accents. It is estimated at $150,000-$200,000.

The New York sale also includes a 30.02-carat, D color, pear-shaped diamond ring set with an intense pink diamond band and a 19.13-carat fancy grayish-yellowish green "chameleon" briolette-cut diamond pendant necklace estimated at $800,000-$1.2 million.
