Sotheby's 'Important Jewels' Auction


Event Time: Two sessions, usually around 10am and 2pm; Sometim
New York, NY

If it's rare, sparkling and for sale, you'll find it at the twice-yearly Important Jewels auction at Sotheby's New York. Bid for beautiful pieces or just sit back and watch the paddles and phones go wild. From conker-sized diamonds and canary yellow sapphires to antique Tiffany combs and jewel-encrusted Cartier watches, every item going under the hammer is special. There's no pressure to bid, so come along for the spectacle and feel your stomach flip as prices roll past the million dollar mark (in 1994 an emerald-cut blue diamond was bought for a staggering $9.9million). When particularly coveted lots hit the spotlight, you'll feel the tension rise and see the paddles flap as bidders up the ante. When the final hammer slams down, applause ripples through the auction room.

Venue:
Sotheby's New York
1334 York Avenue
