Celtic Cross Necklace – Most Desired For Xmas
Mens white gold rings are some of the most lavish pieces that Orkney jewellery designers hand-make to order. And the Celtic cross necklace is one of the other most prized luxurious items in those ranges. But while mens white gold rings might be a hundred pounds or more, recently a world record was created for the most coveted private selection of jewelry put up for sale at auction.
Back in the summertime it was publicised that Elizabeth Taylor’s Jewellery Collection was to be sold by Christie’s in Manhattan. But never ever in the auction house’s wildest dreams did it think the 269 objects would be sold for 74million.
The late movie screen goddess invariably wore a ring set with the 33.29 carat Elizabeth Taylor Diamond gifted to her by Richard Burton in 1968. It fetched 5,643,840, that is 2-3 times over the guesstimate. But there were higher priced items.
Mens White Gold Rings – Specially Made To Order
A 16th century pendant which had at one time belonged to the Spanish noble family, featuring a amazing pearl droplet fetched approximately 7.6million. The gem, later set into a diamond and ruby necklace, often known as La Peregrina, was bought for her by Burton in 1969. It had been estimated to sell for up to 1.95million but was bought for 7.6m, a record for a gem.
The pear-shaped pearl was once owned by Mary Tudor, whose mother had been the Spanish-born Katherine of Aragon, and later on by Spanish queens Margarita and Isabel. La Peregrina, has been depicted in art work for years and years and once was painted by the 17th century Spanish artist Velazquez. Burton bought the pearl in 1969 at auction for 23,800. The actress then commissioned Cartier to design a ruby-and-diamond necklace support for this piece.
Exhilaration mounted inside the auction in the week when the first lot, a gold and gem bracelet valued at anywhere up to 22,500 was sold for 174,000. Plus an ivory and gold necklace realised more than 100 times its appraisal of 1,300 at 203,000. A buyer paid 387,000 to acquire a diamond and sapphire ring given to the actress by her good friend the late Michael Jackson. The splendid Taj Mahal diamond, an additional gift from Burton to Dame Elizabeth for her 40th birthday celebration, sold for 5.7m, a record for any Indian jewel.
A a pretty tiara presented to her by her 3rd husband Mike Todd in 1957 fetched 2.7 million – about six to eight times its estimate. The record-breaking sale follows a pattern this year of auction jewelry reaching a lot higher prices compared to estimates. Part of the proceeds made by this sale will go to The Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation.
All of this definitely makes the price of our own range of mens white gold rings very moderate. They are worn to announce relationships which in most cases last a lot more than Dame Elizabeth’s, who got hitched eight times, including twice to Burton.
