Hi,

Our editor in chief Diana Jarrett talked to NY director at Christies regarding their upcoming auction on April 22nd.

"Three hundred lots are offered in this spectacular auction, with a big ruckus created by two historical jewels which may never be seen again after the winning bidder makes his coup. The fervor surrounds a magnificent Colombian emerald and diamond brooch owned by the 18th century Empress of Russia, who coincidentally had not one drop of Russian blood in her veins. Catherine was a tireless collector of jewelry, it is reported, because "she fully understood the power of jewels."

Read more in this 4 page mixture of rare jewelry anthropology and gemological information by one of the industry's best authors with a link to more extensive information.

We thought you might be interested in it.

Cheers
