Jewelry for Breakfast at Christie’s

Hosted by Claibourne Dexter

Gem X enjoyed a private preview of Christie’s Magnificent Jewels June auction, which featured a rare selection of signed jewels, colored gemstones and important diamonds. With Christie’s all to ourselves, Gem X saw an array of impressive jewels from makers like Belperron, Lalique, Raymond Yard and Hemmerle. Also new to Christie’s, we viewed costume jewelry by Chanel as part of their online sale collection. But perhaps the most special pieces were those from the private collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller. The suite of peridot jewelry by Van Cleef & Arpels blew away all our expectations!
