Most Expensive and Unusual Gems and Jewelry at Auctions 2022

At the beginning of December, Christie’s and Sotheby’s held the last major jewelry auction of the year in New York, which brought in more than $100 million in total. Forbes Life collected five of the most expensive diamonds and five bright jewelry reflecting the trends of the outgoing year
Gem and jewelry sales are the leading source of income for global auction houses and one of the most stable art markets, although in 2022, jewelry created as NFTs were sold at auction for the first time, and diamonds began to accept payment in bitcoins and ethereums. This market values the clarity, brilliance, color and size of a gemstone, as well as its history and extraordinary design.
For many years, outstanding colored diamonds have been breaking price records. And Hong Kong has established itself as the center of sales, increasing the gap with Geneva, the former capital of jewelry trades. nine0005
Williamson’s Pink Star, Sotheby’s, $58 million
The main jewelry lot of 2022 – a ring with a unique pink diamond weighing 11.15 carats – was sold in October at Sotheby’s Hong Kong auction. With a preliminary estimate of $ 21 million, the stone went under the hammer for almost three times more – for $ 58 million. It received the name “Williamson’s Pink Star” in honor of two other famous diamonds. One of them (“Pink Star” weighing 59.60 carats) was sold at Sotheby’s in 2017 for $71.2 million, and the second (“Williamson”, 23.6 carats) is one of the British Crown Jewels. All of them come from the same diamond mine, which belonged to Canadian geologist John Williamson in the middle of the last century. nine0005
Blue Cullinan de Beers, Sotheby’s, $57.4 million
In second place is another Sotheby’s auction with a De Beers Blue Cullinan weighing 15.10 carats. The lot was sold at the April auction in Hong Kong for $57.4 million following an eight-minute bidding war. He was only $100,000 short of the price record for Oppenheimer’s Blue (14.62 carats), bought at Christie’s in 2016 for $57.5 million. Cullinan De Beers is officially recognized by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) as the largest in history with a bright blue flawless step cut diamond. Original diamond weighing 39.35 carats was mined in April 2021 by Petra Diamonds at the Cullinan mines in South Africa. It was later jointly bought by De Beers and Diacore for $40.2 million.
Pink Luck, Christie’s, $28.8 million
Christie’s highlight in 2022 was the sale of the largest pear cut diamond of its kind, the Pink Luck, weighing 18. 18 carats. It was bought by an Asian client for $28.8 million. The Pink Fortune was offered as a ring complete with a transformable diamond necklace, to which the stone can be attached as a pendant. The catalog indicated that the lot comes from the collection of a noble lady. The auction house specialists specified that the Oppenheimer dynasty, which led the De Beers company, once owned the diamond. nine0005
The Rock, Christie’s, $21.9 million
A pear-shaped stone mined in South Africa, weighing over 228 carats, was called “The Rock” because of its impressive size. This is the largest colorless diamond in auction history. The estimate of the lot, exhibited during the Christie’s Geneva auction, was $ 20-30 million. As a result, the stone went under the hammer at the lower bar of the estimated value – for $ 21.9 million. The former owner wore it as part of a Cartier necklace, and the diamond was sold as a pendant in platinum frames of the same brand. nine0005
Light of Africa, Christie’s, $20 million
The top lot of Christie’s evening jewelery auction held in New York this summer was the Light of Africa diamond weighing 103.49 carats. It found its new owner for $20 million, making it the fifth most expensive colorless diamond in auction history. The original diamond was mined at the Cullinan mines in South Africa, where the famous Star of Africa and Second Star of Africa diamonds were found, which became the British Crown Jewels. nine0005
Oscar Heyman & Brothers Birds in Flight bracelet. Sotheby’s, $1.4 million
Art Deco jewelry is also in constant demand at the auction. This summer, the top lot of the Christie’s auction with the telling name “Jewellery Paris” was the Van Cleef & Arpels “Lightning” necklace created in 1964, sold for €819,000 with an upper estimate of €300,000. In total, the auction brought in €9, 3 million Sotheby’s distinguished itself by selling a gem-encrusted bracelet called “Birds in Flight” by Oscar Heyman & Brothers, founded by brothers who were emigrants from Latvia who moved to New York at 1906 year.
Faberge. Watch-pendant “Snowflake”. Christie’s, $252,000
Since March 2022, the world’s auction houses are exhibiting Faberge’s works at jewelry auctions. For example, at the end of May at Sotheby’s for £94,500, with a minimum excess of the estimate, a Faberge table clock with an enameled guilloche on the case, consisting of two colors of gold and silver, made in the workshop of Mikhail Perkhin around 1890, was sold.
At the end of the year, Christie’s sold a rock crystal and diamond Snowflake pendant watch for $252,000. Snowflake design at 1911 was invented by Alma Piel, a hereditary jeweler from a dynasty that worked for Faberge. Alma’s father, the jeweler Oscar Piel, headed the Faberge workshops in Moscow, her mother was the daughter of August Helmstrom, the leading jeweler of Carl Faberge. Her aunt and brother also worked for Faberge.
Alma began her career in the Fabergé empire at the age of twenty under the guidance of her uncle Albert Hellström. One of her first orders in the winter of 1911 was 40 brooches, which were urgently requested by an oil trader, Dr. Emanuel Nobel, Alfred Nobel’s nephew. He planned a dinner party for foreign partners in St. Petersburg, at which the wife of each partner was supposed to find a precious surprise in a napkin. So elegant as to be admired, so Russian as to be associated with the winter in St. Petersburg, and so inexpensive that it is not perceived as a bribe. nine0005
Alma Piel was given the order. And she came up with a design for a snowflake covered with small rose-cut diamonds. Emanuel Nobel was delighted and demanded that he secure the copyright for precious snowflakes. By order of Nobel, Alma Peel also designed brooches, bracelets, pendants, pillboxes, bonbonnieres and many Easter eggs. Nobel’s monopoly on snowflakes was only broken once, when the design of the snowflakes was used to create the imperial “Winter Egg” presented for Easter 1913 years of Nicholas II of his mother, Empress Maria Feodorovna.
Salvador Dali. Earrings “Constancy of sound”. Sotheby’s, $176,400
In autumn, Sotheby’s held the first of its kind online auction dedicated to jewelry created by famous artists. All lots were divided into nine thematic sections, depending on what kind or direction of art their creator belonged to. For example, in the section devoted to surrealism, one could find Salvador Dali’s “Permanence of Sound” earrings, encrusted with precious stones and made of 18-carat gold. They are designed in the form of two melted telephone handsets, referring to the image of the “soft watch” from the famous painting 1934 years “The Persistence of Memory”. The earrings were sold for $176,400.
Cartier gold ring. Phillips, $25,200
Jewelery is in trend, either really coming from another era, or stylized as antique. A striking example is a gold Cartier ring created in the 1950s with an angel figurine modeled after an artifact from the Hellenistic era. The ring went under the hammer for $25,200, 20 times the estimated value.
Ethereum Expedition ring, with NFT copy. Sotheby’s, $8,820
nine0023
During the jewelry auction, Sotheby’s conducted an experiment. Along with pieces by Picasso and Dali, contemporary jewelers’ creations were put up for auction, including a golden ring with Ethereum Expedition emeralds made in the shape of a geodesic dome frame, the result of a joint project METAGOLDEN x Republiqe. The lot was advertised as “digital-physical” (phygital), since its buyer, in addition to the ring itself, received an NFT copy. The price of the kit was $8820 as a result.

WHAT IS “SYNTHETIC PRECIOUS” STONES?
Thank you very much for the fact that in such a difficult time the journal “Science and Life” is published constantly, without interruptions. I love the magazine very much and have been reading since I was 1960 years old. Until 1992, the magazine was subscribed to – both our family and all the neighbors read it. But now I have to read from time to time, more often – several issues at once. But what to do – there are no magazines of their own, it is difficult to subscribe: I am retired, and she is small. So now I take the magazine from the library, and then when the turn comes: the magazine is given only by appointment – it is so popular. In it you can find interesting articles on any topic and for any age. But I couldn’t find an answer to one question. Maybe you can help? My mother once gave me a ring, which she bought in the 60s, and it contains a stone – a ruby. We thought it was a natural ruby that brings happiness to our family.
My mother is no longer alive. I am retired and decided to give the ring to my granddaughter. And suddenly she declares that it is an artificial ruby, that is, a piece of glass – it was so insulting. The jewelry store said that the ruby is natural, since the ring has a gold sample and two more numbers – 52 – as if these numbers indicate a natural stone. And in the second store they said that this is nonsense and we never put natural stones (precious) in our rings, but only glass.
I beg you, please answer my letter. I always believed in my ruby, it seemed that only he often helped me in life – this is my stone according to the horoscope. nine0086
T. SAZONOVA (Yeisk, Krasnodar Territory).
At all times, jewelry has played a significant role as an object of decoration, accumulation and investment. Products are bought, donated, inherited in the hope that, if necessary, it will be possible to quickly sell them, having received a fairly high price. But the specific world of jewelry is diverse, and often those items that for many years were considered indisputable value, today no longer have such a significant value. Especially often problematic situations arise during the sale, purchase and other transactions in the market of jewelry with inserts made of synthetic stones. nine0005
What is a synthetic stone? Jewelry uses a wide variety of materials. Sometimes these are natural stones, sometimes they are imitations that are similar only in appearance, but differ from natural stones in composition and properties. And sometimes these are synthetic stones, which are complete analogues of natural ones, but obtained (grown) by man artificially.
Attempts to create analogues of precious materials were made in ancient times by alchemists, but precious metals could not be synthesized in tangible quantities, while the successful synthesis of artificial stones can be considered the embodiment of the dream of alchemists. nine0005
The first information about the production of synthetic stones dates back to 1885. In 1891, the French mineralogist Verneuil made a public announcement about the discovery of a method for growing synthetic ruby, which made it possible to obtain crystals acceptable for jewelry use in size, color and transparency.
And already in 1907, the world annual production of synthetic rubies reaches 5 million carats (1 carat = 0.2 grams). Synthetic sapphire was first obtained in 1910 (see “Science and Life” No. 8, 1997).
Thus, even in products made at the end of the last or at the beginning of this century, we can find synthetic rubies or sapphires. And at present, synthetic stones used as inserts in jewelry are quite widespread, there is even a special market for “synthetics”, which is dynamically developing and very promising. Along with the already traditional rubies and sapphires grown by the Verneuil method, other synthetic stones appeared: alexandrite, emerald, spinel, quartz and even diamond. Moreover, such artificial stones have been created that have no analogues in nature – for example, cubic zirconium oxide, commonly known as cubic zirconia. nine0005
For Russia, the greatest surge in the popularity of jewelry with synthetic sapphires and rubies falls on the 1960s-1980s. It was then that jewelry made of gold, usually 583-carat, with large bright red transparent inserts from “Verneuil” rubies or with bright blue – from “Verneuil” sapphires, went on sale. There were even artificial corundums with a color change effect (the stone changes color depending on the lighting conditions).
It should be noted that the labels (tags) accompanying each product often indicated only the name of the stone without an explanation – whether it is natural or synthetic. Sometimes the price tag in a jewelry store would just say “corundum”. Currently, there are strict regulations that define the rules for designating and naming jewelry stones, according to which the word “synthetic” is indicated without fail, and the sale of synthetic stones under the guise of natural ones is punishable by law. nine0005
Precious stones are considered to be only natural stones, and even then not all, but
only diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald, alexandrite and pearl.
How to determine whether a stone is natural or synthetic? The answer can be obtained by contacting a specialist in the field of precious stones – a gemologist. Indeed, in appearance it can be quite difficult to distinguish a natural stone from a synthetic one, even for an experienced jeweler. Indeed, in terms of their optical, physical and mechanical properties, in terms of chemical composition, these stones are almost complete analogues. Therefore, an artificial ruby cannot be called “glass”. Stone imitation glass is used only in cheap jewelry. To conduct a thorough gemological study of inclusions, microimpurities, and structural features of jewelry stones, specialists use microscopy, spectroscopy, and other subtle methods for studying a substance.
