HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. – The value of jewelry is an interesting thing. When someone puts on a truly exceptional piece, the objective value of it – derived from expert assessment of quality and simple scarcity – becomes almost irrelevant. In that personal moment, the specialness of jewelry comes from its elegance, from the weight of it on the skin, from the gleam and saturation of its gems as seen by the naked eye. But with pieces like the platinum, Kashmir sapphire and diamond ring in Leland Little’s Important Spring Auction on March 2, the heft of the history behind the jewel creates an entirely new level of beauty and value. The incredible confluence of millennia of geologic circumstance and plain human luck that must occur for us to access these gems is the reason that we value them so highly. Absentee and Internet live bidding is available through LiveAuctioneers.
