NEW YORK – An 18K gold, diamond and sapphire double clip retro pin by Rene Boivin; an 18K white gold, diamond and enamel flower brooch by David Webb; and a diamond, sapphire and platinum engagement ring will likely earn top-lot status at Jasper52’s Exclusive Estate and Designer Jewelry auction, which will be conducted on Tuesday, July 25 starting at 8 pm Eastern time. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

The 339-lot sale boasts an impressive selection of Tiffany & Co. pieces, including a 1960s pair of 18K gold and diamond leaf-form earrings by Jean Schlumberger; a Paloma Picasso 18K gold and diamond five-band Melody ring; a 1980s 18K gold and diamond brooch in the form of a pineapple; a cat-face brooch fashioned from pink quartz, sapphire, tiger’s eye and yellow and white gold; a vintage pair of 18K gold, sapphire, turquoise and lapis lazuli bracelets; a braided 14K gold bracelet dating to the 1970s; and a brooch that takes the shape of a 14K gold five-point crown, with the center point topped by a diamond and the flanking points topped by rubies.

Other strong contributions from renowned designers and houses include a heart-shape pair of diamond, emerald and platinum earrings by Oscar Heyman; a visually striking Atelier Janca link bracelet with links created from 18K gold, coral and black onyx; a bewitching vintage brooch by Cartier in the form of an eye with a hammered gold eyebrow, 18K white gold lashes festooned with diamonds, a lower eyelid outlined in black enamel and the eye itself made from 18K gold, emerald and orange quartz.

The David Webb piece is estimated at $19,000-$23,000.
