Let your style bloom at Alex Cooper’s Spring Gallery Auction. With almost 200 lots of fine jewelry to choose from –there is no shortage of fabulous pieces in this sale.
Our fine jewelry specialist Jenny Putnam stated, “There are some very special estate pieces in our spring auction. If vintage is your style, this is an excellent opportunity to catch Art Deco brooches and well-made gemstone jewelry.” When asked about the most standout lot in the auction, Putnam chose lot 66: a custom made sapphire and diamond winged brooch. “The wing brooch is an exceptional piece because of its unique design and mystery setting. A mystery setting refers to a technique of setting stones in such a way that no prongs are visible. The gems appear to be free standing and enhancing the true saturation of the stone.”
A selection of high quality sapphires are among the major highlights of the auction, led by a lot 149: a 5 ct. sapphire and diamond ring in platinum. Other important sapphires in the sale include lot 30: an Art Deco platinum sapphire & diamond dress clip and, of course, the whimsical lot 66: a custom made sapphire and diamond winged brooch.
