WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – More than 200 lots of dazzling diamonds, jewelry and fine timepieces – pulled from prominent local estates and collections and spanning a broad range of price points, from a few hundred dollars to $100,000 or more – will be sold at auction Sunday, Dec. 15, at A.B. Levy’s. LiveAuctioneers.com will provide Internet live bidding.
The auction is packed with jewelry by makers such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Dior, Patek Philippe, Rolex, Tiffany, Cartier, Corum, Chopard and Hermes. One item is an 18K gold with ruby eye cuff bracelet from the Elizabeth Taylor Collection.
A.B. Levy’s said it is offering free overnight shipping on any item sold within the continental U.S., as an added holiday incentive.
The auction will get underway promptly at 1 p.m. Eastern. “There really is something for just about every taste and budget in this auction, just in time for holiday gift-giving,” said Albert Levy of A.B. Levy’s. “At the high end, we’ve got a fine selection of at least 10 certified diamonds. But bargain hunters will be able to participate, too.”
Around 75 pieces in the sale were given as collateral in a settlement, and the seller has set very modest minimums in the interest of a quick sale. These will include 14K and 18K gold jewelry pieces, diamond necklaces and earrings, sapphire necklaces and earrings and other items. Most will carry reserves as low as $200 and none will exceed $1,000.
The certified diamonds range in size from about four to 10 carats, although there is one Tiffany one-carat stone and a 7 1/2-carat colossus that should command tens of thousands of dollars. All are set in rings, many of them platinum, although there is one 3-carat diamond being sold as a loose stone. Ruby and diamond earrings and multistone diamond rings will also be sold.
A buyer’s premium of 20percent will be applied to all purchases up to $100,000, 15 percent after that.
