Specialist note

Lucia Zurkowski was a woman who was full of life, bringing a natural curiosity and creative spirit to all that she pursued. Highly independent, Lucia carved a unique path in her life that gathered great art and close friends into her well-appointed home, and was always driven by her deep love of her Italian heritage. With eclectic interests ranging from cooking, to horticulture, to collecting works of art by the masters, the Unforgettable Light that Lucia brought to the world was widely remembered by her friends and family, permeating all of her creative pursuits. Exceptional works by Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso alongside elegant drawings by Matisse and Degas were complemented by robust sculpture by Harry Bertoia.

Fittingly, Lucia’s jewelry collection includes three wonderful examples of bold yet wearable jewels by Bulgari, a nod to her Italian heritage. Additionally, classic and timeless diamond jewelry was worn and appreciated, including an elegant diamond rivière necklace and Art Deco diamond bracelet. Tasteful, elegant and always fun, Lucia Zurkowski was a an exceptional person that emanated an Unforgettable Light.
