This bracelet is expected to sell for up to $50,000. Also estimated at $50,000 is a ring featuring a 6.26-carat, pear-shaped diamond, graded J-color and SI2-clarity.
Additional highlights include a set by M. Gerard, which includes a necklace and two bracelets in an infinity-link design crafted from textured gold and adorned with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and diamonds. The set carries a high estimate of $50,000.
Rounding out the top lots is a 5.01-carat, emerald-cut diamond ring, graded I-color and VVS2-clarity, with two tapered baguette-cut diamonds flanking the center stone. This piece is expected to bring in up to $45,000.
