Christie’s presents \u201cModern Icons: Jewels & Watches\u201d from an Important Family Collection, a single-owner auction offered across multiple sale platforms from 1-12 June, beginning with Magnificent Jewels and continuing with a dedicated online sale closing on 12 June. Featuring more than 150 pieces, the collection offers one of the most compelling snapshots of contemporary luxury to appear at auction in recent years, a vibrant, wearable, and intentionally curated vision of high jewellery and classic watches from the 1980s through the 2010s, with a particular emphasis on Bulgari, Cartier, and Chopard.<\/p>\n

Assembled with remarkable intentionality, the collection includes multiple suites of matching necklaces, earrings, and rings, complete sets from single high jewellery collections, and a consistent focus on pieces that are both wearable and instantly recognisable. Colour plays a defining role throughout — jewels that capture glamour while remaining deeply relevant to today’s collectors: bold, sculptural, joyful, and designed to be lived in rather than locked away.<\/p>\n

Claibourne Poindexter, Head of Department, Jewelry, Americas, says, “<\/em>Modern Icons showcases the defining design language of the late 20th century jewellery bringing together pieces that balance wearability with unmistakable signature style. It offers collectors at every level the chance to acquire standout creations from important maisons including Bulgari, Cartier,\u00a0 Chopard, and Graff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leading the sale is a Bulgari Suite of Multi-Gem and Diamond Jewellery (estimate: $40,000-60,000) with variously shaped coral and turquoise plaques, round emeralds, and diamonds.<\/p>\n
