The highlights feature two treasures from Van Cleef & Arpels and one from the noted designer David Webb.

It is placed in a gold setting and attended by three rows of round brilliant cut diamonds of F-G color and VVS clarity, with a total weight of 4.68 carats. The size seven ring comes with a Van Cleef & Arpels letter of authenticity and is estimated at $62,000-$74,000.

The second offering from Van Cleef & Arpels is a 1970s 18K gold bracelet in the form of a bow encrusted with 10 carats’ worth of E-F color, VVS clarity diamonds. The bracelet comes in an original Van Cleef & Arpels box and is estimated at $111,000-$133,000.

The final highlight is a striking 1980s David Webb totem pendant necklace on an 18K gold chain. The lot notes state that the totem pendant is one of Webb’s most sought-after motifs, and this particular one features gold, coral, chrysoprase, ruby, lapis lazuli and 50 round brilliant cut diamonds of G-H color and VS clarity, weighing 1.20 carats. The lot notes make the keen observation that “The diamonds are set in platinum which accentuates their whiteness.” The David Webb necklace has an estimate of $49,000-$59,000.
