Show-stopping sapphires and spinels bring sparkle to Bonhams London Jewels sale on Thursday 2 December at New Bond Street. A sapphire and diamond ring, dating from circa 1920, leads the sale with an estimate of £150,000 - 200,000, followed closely by a sapphire, diamond and natural pearl pendant, from the late 19th century, which has an estimate of £65,000 - 85,000. Two pieces featuring exceptional spinels from the same mine as the Hope Spinel ? which Bonhams sold for a record price in 2015 ? are also amongst the highlights of the sale: they are a spinel and diamond pendant (estimate: £40,000 - 60,0000) and a spinel and diamond ring (estimate: £35,000 - 45,000).
Head of Jewellery UK, Emily Barber, commented: "Sapphires hailing from Kashmir, as in this sublime sapphire and diamond ring, display a vivid velvety blue hue that is unique to the region, and are among the most highly prized gems due to their rarity and their scarcity. The spinel pendant and ring are equally remarkable, both hailing from the same geographical location as the very best historic specimens, including the Hope Spinel, and at this size and quality are considered rare and exceptional."
