NEW YORK – There is no mistaking the look of old, high-carat gold and diamonds. For centuries they’ve been prized for their beauty, especially when paired in an exquisitely crafted setting — whether a queen’s crown, an engagement ring, or a favorite piece of inherited jewelry. Jasper52 has prepared an especially fine selection of gold jewelry, bullion and silver creations for its 118-lot auction slated for August 28. Whether you’re seeking a sophisticated signature piece or investment gold, you’ll find it in this sale, with absentee and Internet live bidding through LiveAuctioneers.

Among the top pieces in the women’s jewelry section is Lot 34, a 22ct gold tassel necklace of 916/1000 purity. Its total weight is 40g, and its length is 46cm. Having the unmistakable look of a custom item, it is expected to reach $2,500-$3,000 at auction.

The diamond tennis bracelet has become a staple in many women’s jewelry collections since tennis ace Chris Evert first wore one on the courts at Wimbledon and Forest Hills. Jasper52 is offering an example of the classic design that will make its admirers green with envy. Made of white gold, Lot 94 features 25 oval-cut natural emeralds weighing 11.25 carats, separated by 25 round brilliant-cut diamonds weighing .60ct. This very special bracelet is expected to make $2,000-$2,500 at auction.
