Monday next week, 30th August 2010, Leonard Joel is holding a jewellery auction in Melbourne. A couple of pieces caught my eye:
- a beautiful dark purple enamel locket … not sure about the style really, but the colour is amazing
- an “Aztec-style necklace” … I don’t usually like reproduction / in-the-style-of pieces, but this reminded me of my visit to the Americas museum in Madrid earlier in the year
- an enamel brooch … again, not my style, but somehow quite beautiful
- a boxed set of replicas of world-famous diamonds … I’ve never seen something like this before, and don’t really understand why the estimate is so high for replicas?
- an interesting Middle Eastern gold breast plate
- and naturally there are a number of horribly ostentatious diamond numbers…
