Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds offers cutting-edge designs in high-end diamond jewellery for sophisticated collectors at its standalone boutique in London.<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds\u2019 boutique, located by the main entrance of Sotheby\u2019s New Bond Street headquarters in London, showcases an array of daring designs in platinum or 18-karat gold jewellery set with extremely high quality natural diamonds and sometimes combined with unusual materials.The pieces on display during a recent visit included a fabulous 5.01-carat G VS1 diamond ring with ebony set in platinum, designed exclusively for Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds by Hong Kong-based Nicholas Lieou; and a remarkable 2.06-carat fancy vivid purplish pink diamond ring, set in 18-karat white gold.\u201cThe designs of Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds jewellery tend to be more extravagant and distinctive, more niche,\u201d Alessandro Borruso, Deputy Director of Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds Europe, told Solitaire International<\/em> at the boutique.\u201cThese are one-off pieces with stones of really high quality. The designers work around the stones, which are the main focus, to create modern masterpieces.\u201dSotheby\u2019s Diamonds was founded by Patti Wong, Chairman, Sotheby\u2019s Asia, in 2005, as a private sales arm for the auction house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSotheby\u2019s Diamonds was conceived as a way of meeting the requirements of under-bidders in the auctions, who are left with the desire for something special \u2013 those who missed out on winning a lot,\u201d Alessandro said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur clients also include new, high-net-worth collectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diamonds are supplied to Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds by manufacturer and partner in this joint venture with Sotheby\u2019s, Diacore, a De Beers sightholder, which has a reputation as a master cutter of highly valuable stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of the jewels are hand engraved \u201cSotheby\u2019s Diamonds\u201d, with a serial number, and have a GIA certificate to instil full confidence in the buyer and providing the detailed specifications of the stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds has regular collaborations with highly skilled jewellery designers, who are asked to work with a stone that resonates with them and to create a design around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, the London boutique hosted some intricate lightweight diamond jewellery masterpieces from Paris-based designer Tatiana Verstraeten, who appeals to a younger clientele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alessandro said he had identified a clear trend by collectors to seek out the highest quality diamonds, rather than mid-quality stones, as well as a greater appreciation of craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular colours of diamonds sought by collectors include pinks and blues, as well as colourless stones, with round, brilliant-cut shapes strongly in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinks are increasingly sought-after for their beauty and rarity, following the recent closure of the Argyle mine in Australia, which was a major origin of this colour of diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collectors can visit the Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds boutiques in London and Hong Kong by appointment or use Sotheby\u2019s \u201cBuy Now\u201d platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn-person\u201d enquiries have picked up since the darkest days of the lockdowns, with luxury shoppers now travelling to London again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of Sotheby\u2019s Diamonds\u2019 customers are high-net-worth collectors from the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers typically are aged at least 40, as they have already amassed a fortune that will allow them to spend perhaps upwards of $1 million on an extraordinary piece of diamond jewellery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the lockdowns, a number of customers were resident in London from the Middle East but unable to leave the UK at the time because of travel restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alessandro said the customer base would increasingly comprise women going forward, many of whom had achieved success in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany women are in charge of luxury spending in their families, including for diamond jewellery,\u201d Alessandro said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
