There is also a strong selection of tennis bracelets, among them a classic-looking 14K white gold piece with 7.70 carats of round cut white diamonds; a 14K gold bracelet with almost 20 carats of rubies; and a 14K white gold example with rubies, diamonds, emeralds, a green garnet and sapphires in shades of blue, yellow, pink and orange.

The first of the aforementioned highlights, a platinum brooch with eight carats of diamonds, has an abstract, undulating style. The stones are G-color and vs-2 clarity; some are round cut, some full cut and some brilliant cut; and the brooch can be repurposed as a pendant. The piece is estimated at $12,000-$14,000.

18K white gold and diamond cocktail ring, estimated at $4,000-$5,000

The 18K white gold and diamond cocktail ring is a classic princess channel band set with two carats of baguette cut diamonds and .46 carats of round diamonds of Vs-2 clarity and G color. Its estimate is $4,000-$5,000.

The 5.12-carat emerald in the 14K gold ring is natural, has a strong, deep green color, and is, sensibly enough, in an emerald cut. It is surrounded with 1.20 carats of round cut and full cut diamonds of Vs-2 clarity and G color and carries an estimate of $27,000-$32,000.
