Christie’s To Auction Collection of Suzanne Belperron Jewels
It’s one of the most impressive assemblages of the French designer’s pieces ever to come to auction, Christie’s said.

The collection, “Jewels as Art: Magnificent Jewels from a Private Collection,” features a selection of jewelry curated by an American collector with an eye for art and design and a deep admiration for Belperron.
It includes 15 jewels by Belperron, three of which are from the designer’s personal collection, making it one of the most significant offerings from the designer ever to come to auction, said Christie’s.
One highlight is the rock crystal and diamond “Facetté” cuff bracelet, a piece once owned by celebrated fashion editor Diana Vreeland, who was photographed wearing the piece several times, including at El Morocco in New York in 1938.

It is estimated to sell for $200,000 to $300,000.
The diamond “Tube” bracelet, another featured lot, is estimated to fetch $400,000 to $600,000.

“Christie’s is honored to steward this remarkable collection, exemplifying the art of jewelry collecting through the discerning eye of an American collector who views jewels as a true form of art,” said Claibourne Poindexter, Christie’s senior specialist, jewelry.
“With a judicious and intentional approach, this collection spans iconic designs across centuries and includes one of the most impressive assemblages of Suzanne Belperron jewels ever to come to auction. Christie’s is proud to offer collectors the chance to acquire these emblematic pieces.”
The pieces are highlights of the Christie’s Magnificent Jewels live auction, set to take place Dec. 10 in New York.
Beyond the Belperron pieces, the offering includes art jewelry from the late 18th century to the early 20th century, including a 19th-century antique diamond necklace and a bracelet from the same period.
The entire collection of 44 pieces spans reflects the height of avant-garde Art Deco and Art Moderne design, Christie’s said.
Pieces from Cartier, JAR, and Bulgari are also on offer.
