I haven’t written about a Fellows Auction in quite some time, but that doesn’t mean I never stopped checking out their incredible jewels that would stir up bidding wars month after month. I’ve always been a huge fan of their Antique & Modern Sales and Fellows’ has an upcoming sale in February that can’t be missed. The sale is set for February 9th, 2017 and it comes just in time for Valentine’s Day. I suggest grabbing your honey and sitting down to look over the jewelry catalog together. Pick out your favorites and potential Valentine’s gifts, then pull up a chair and get down to bidding on February 9th! I’ve done some of the leg work for you, choosing my favorites in every jewelry category: necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets!
Let’s dive into the details below:
Necklaces:
Lot 123: This exquisite necklace grabbed my attention right away! It looks like something regal and very important. Set with old cut diamonds and lapis, all in platinum! It is an early 20th century piece that every collector needs. The diamonds total 1.20 carats.
Lot 168: Delicate yet striking in every way, this necklace would make the most precious Valentine’s gift. A beautiful openwork design, set with feminine seed pearls. I love how they trickle down from the bail and the sapphire is just the perfect gemstone for this piece; all set in platinum, original early 20th century piece.
Lot 268: A late Victorian peridot necklace with stunning diamond wreath detail. This necklace may be over 100 years old, but it still is beautiful as ever! I know so many August babies have trouble finding peridot pieces of jewelry, so this is a great option for those August-born ladies. Plus, greenery is the Pantone color of the year!
Rings:
Lot 306: Elongated and bold, sapphires and diamonds…yes, you are seeing why I love this ring so much! I also appreciate the mixture of metals in this one piece–with the yellow gold bezels for the oval sapphires and the shank, and mixed with a platinum top. I would love to see this ring on a finger–I bet it looks gorgeous!
Lot 406: One hundred lots from my first ring pick is this sweet turquoise and diamond ring. I love the unique style of it, although a cluster ring isn’t groundbreaking, it becomes different since it also has side diamonds in a bypass style. All the diamonds are old European cuts and look original to the piece. If you love turquoise, you should totally bid on this piece!
Lot 421: Navette rings are a style I can’t get enough of and there’s something special about this particular one. All of those old diamond cuts clustered together, surrounding the single round emerald in the center. I love the stylized shoulders of the the shank on this late Victorian ring. Someone needs to make this a part of their collection!
Earrings:
Lot 285: These earrings immediately were a favorite for this category for a few reasons–one being their all-diamond design. Something about diamonds set in white gold has such a classic look. Plus, I love the round cuts mixed with the baguettes and squares. Geometry at its finest! Total diamond weight on these is 1.20 carats.
Lot 438: I chose these earrings because I love the multi-colored sapphires used as well as the unique design of these hoops. These 18k yellow gold earrings would look great dressed up or down, giving any outfit some color. Brighten up your day, a boring outfit or your winter blues with these babies!
Lot 500: Something about these funky dangles puts a smile on my face. Done in yellow gold and set with emeralds and diamonds, I just love the V-shaped design. It is both chic and futuristic at the same time. I also love the size of these earrings–I think they are an ideal size, right in between dainty and bold, or what I like to call “just right.”
Bracelets:
Lot 152: This late 19th century hinged bracelet features a Victorian motif that I just can’t get enough of–a dome of light blue enamel. To top it off, the diamond star pattern is another favorite motif, so this bracelet is just glorius to me. The detail work is beautiful and in amazing condition. Best part? It’s French!
Lot 286: It was the bold blues of the sapphires and the intricate engraving details that made me look twice at this hinged bracelet. Upon further inspection, the sapphires graduate in size, starting with the biggest in the center. Rose cut diamonds highlight and accent, giving this piece five stars from me! Safety chain included.
Lot 466: One snake bracelet to rule them all–a mid-Victorian articulated snake bracelet set with turquoise and red gem eyes most definitely made my top picks for bracelets. The bracelet measures just over 6 1/2 inches and I can picture it stacked wonderfully with some other Victorian bangles of the same era.
