Throughout the month of June, Bonhams are offering unrivalled access to their national network of experienced jewellery specialists, providing up-to-date valuations of any pieces that sit unused, locked–away and forgotten. With insurance premiums spiralling ever-higher, Bonhams are offering the opportunity to auction these pieces at a time when the British public seem particularly partial to all things jewellery.

Following the success of last year’s consignments – which included a stunning belle-epoque diamond pendant that sold for a staggering £64,000 – Bonhams are hoping that this year’s consignments will uncover yet more hidden gems.

This year, Bonhams are a core participant in Coutts London Jewellery Week, a week-long celebration which brings together the capital’s top jewellery talent between 8-14 June.

To coincide with the Week, Bonhams will host a jewellery sale at their Knightsbridge saleroom on Wednesday 10 June. The collection will be open to the public from Sunday 7 June and will include pieces ranging from exquisite Victorian antique brooches and stick pins to fabulous Art Deco cocktail pieces and contemporary designs by Asprey, Cartier, and De Beers.

Jean Ghika, Director of UK and Europe at Bonhams Jewellery department comments that: “Bonhams has traditionally seen an excellent response to the nationwide Jewellery in June campaign. Many see this as a unique opportunity to have an up-to-date auction valuation on their collection and gain valuable advice from our team of specialists throughout the UK.”
