Catalogue
The 'Art Jewelry & Jewels' auction on June 18, 2026, was characterized by a highly selective and determined group of bidders. International collectors and connoisseurs focused specifically on museum-quality one-of-a-kind pieces, rare works by artists, and iconic 20th-century designs.
The highest hammer price among the highlights was achieved by the one-of-a-kind diamond earrings by Giuseppe Uncini for Masenza, Rome, which sold for €10,000. Works by Hermann Jünger were also in high demand, with his early bangle from 1968 fetching €9,000.
There was also great interest in the works of Pol Bury. The kinetic ring 'Cloves' from 2003 sold for €5,000, while the ring 'Square' from 2005 fetched €6,000, impressively confirming the ongoing demand for kinetic artist jewelry.
Several highlights performed particularly well, with significant increases above the starting bid. The expressive mask brooch by Johann Michael Wilm from the 1930s rose from €4,400 to €7,000. Equally impressive was the “Flamenco” brooch or pendant by Sonia Delaunay-Terk, which rose from €4,000 to €6,500.
In the category of classic jewelry, the solitaire diamond necklace by Tiffany & Co., which sold for €7,500 with a starting bid of €5,000 €, attracted significant international interest. The successful sale of the 'Apple' pendant by Paul Binder, Zurich, for €3,200, as well as the Kelly Bag Sellier 36 by Hermès, Paris, for €4,200, rounded out the auction’s select results.
Unsold items are available for purchase through the post auction sale until July 17, 2026.
