Specialist note

Hong Kong based Trio Pearl Co. Ltd was founded and operated by the enigmatic Samy Chow. Based in the Peninsula Hotel, Kowloon, Samy shot to fame in 1994 when he bought the most expensive jade jewel ever auctioned, the Princess Nina Mdivani jade bead necklace for $4,272,000 million at Christie's Hong Kong. This exceptional price, achieved 2 years after Christie's established the first jewellery auctions in Hong Kong, signaled the arrival of Hong Kong as a major new auction centre. Today, Christie's Hong Kong has the highest turnover of jewellery sales in the world.
