Riding on Sotheby\u2019s record $1 billion luxury sales in 2021, the auction house celebrates the opening of 2022 with RE(LUX) \u2013 A Luxury Sale Series that juxtaposes modernity with tradition, showcasing the season\u2019s best luxury items through a fresh lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sale series in February presents a curated assemblage of jewellery (in addition to watches, wine and spirits, handbags and sneakers) to be offered across multiple sales channels including live and online auctions, as well as Sotheby\u2019s Buy Now marketplace, catering to the growing trend of cross-collecting in these categories by today\u2019s collectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This remixed format is a testament to the new definition of luxury and the evolving role played by auction houses in the sector. RE(LUX) will preview in Shanghai for the first time on 11\u201313 January before a full exhibition in Hong Kong between 11-17 February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlights include a one-of-a kind Diamond, Emerald and Sapphire Dragonfly Brooch from Van Cleef & Arpels High Jewelry Collection, an exceptional set of jadeite cabochons as well as trending gems such as Alexandrite and Para\u00edba Tourmaline which are surging in popularity as the \u2018new sparkle\u2019 for eveningwear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While white diamonds remain a firm favourite amongst jewellery collectors, Para\u00edba tourmalines are growing in demand due to its distinctive ‘neon-like blue\u2019 colour, which under any light conditions remain a striking gemstone for adornment. Alexandrite is another gemstone that is growing in popularity, named after Czar Alexander II, this colour-changing gem is also known as an “emerald by day, ruby by night” as it changes colour to a green hue under day light and to a reddish purple under incandescent light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
