If variety is the spice of life, Bonhams is kicking up the heat at its London, Knightsbridge location. From gothic, diamond-bedecked goodies to classic pearl designs to romantic, gem-filled floral pieces, the March 11 Jewellery sale promises something for every buyer. And with 305 lots, most of the major maisons — including, Van Cleef & Arpels, Graff, Cartier, and Repossi — are lavishly represented. One sweet set catching the eye of Boucheron devotees? Lot 290. The diamond and enamel flower brooch and earring pairing is estimated to charm bidders out of a high of $12,000.
