HiBid's Jewelry Auctions Feature Exclusive & Enticing Options
Sponsored by HiBid
Fine jewelry, watches, gemstones, and more await you at HiBid.com. HiBid is a thriving platform for online-only and live webcast auctions featuring all types of items and bidders from around the world.
A recent look at HiBid’s top jewelry, watches, and gemstones categories revealed more than 32,000 current listings. They’re divided into subcategories and accessible by keyword search so you can quickly find what you're looking for.
Fine Jewelry
We noticed a 14-karat gold David Yurman chain necklace in HiBid’s Fine Jewelry category. Another lot that caught our eye was a 14-kt gold ring with a 3.3-carat oval-shaped natural emerald surrounded by 1.25 ct of diamonds. Available items run the gamut of affordability.
Gemstones
The “Diamonds” and “Other Gemstones” categories on HiBid.com offer hundreds of opportunities to bid on brilliant gems to incorporate into your own custom setting. One example was a sparkling, Old European-cut loose diamond with a 3.45-ct weight and VS clarity. Another diamond had a GIA Radiant cut, a 0.91-ct weight, E colorlessness, and SI1 clarity. HiBid lists diamonds in myriad colors as well, such as cognac, champagne, blue, yellow, and black.
The site also offers precious and semi-precious stones ranging from high-dollar rubies and emeralds on down to sapphires, tourmaline, tsavorite, amethyst, and many others.
Watches
Among the higher-end examples of men’s and women’s timepieces we discovered were a Cartier Roadster stainless steel and diamond watch and a Laurent Ferrier Bridge One from Switzerland. Other wristwatches by Chopard, Longines, and Patek Philippe were also up for online bid.
Antique & Vintage Jewelry
HiBid’s “Antique / Vintage Jewelry” space showcases heirloom items handed down from yesteryear as well as estate sale pieces. A Tiffany & Co. sterling silver bone cuff bracelet intrigued us, as did a tasteful 18-kt gold brooch with turquoise, ruby, and diamond.
Get Started
It’s easy to use HiBid.com to locate jewelry auctions near you, so you can inspect a piece before you bid. You can also consign items through a HiBid auctioneer with a simple, straightforward process.
