A selection of diamonds and colored gemstones, including a 1960s sapphire and diamond ring, also from Bulgaris will be auctioned off. Much of the jewelry for the auction was “discovered” from private collections and estates across Europe. These luxury and period pieces made their way to Great Britain via consignments in Rome where regular jewelry valuations are held.
