Magnificent Jewels

Rahul Kadakia, Head of Christie's New York and Geneva Jewellery Departments, commented:  “World record prices were achieved all through the week as we completed the most valuable week of auctions at Christie’s Geneva. An Indian emerald sarpech achieved a sensational price after a 10 minute bidding-war in the saleroom between two determined bidders. Jewellery buyers from all over the world showed great depth as they bid at the highest levels for every rare jewel and gem at the sales”.
