HANS NADELHOFFER
In 1966, after studying art and literature in Bern and Vienna, Hans Nadelhoffer (1940-1988) stepped into the world of jewellery at gübelin before joining Christie’s Geneva in 1969, as Head of the Jewellery department. He was the one who, in May and November, put Christie’s Geneva bi-annual sales on the map. Well known for his knowledge of jewellery history, he travelled the world from 1980 to 1984, focusing on the house of Cartier. This was made possible by the Parisian maison opening its doors and granting him access to their archives. As a result, in 1999, Cartier: Jewelers Extraordinary was published and is still considered as one of the most important reference books on the famous house.
Passionate about jewellery and precious stones, Hans Nadelhoffer collected rare gems, among them this spinel of 26.69 carats being offered at auction today, mounted as a ring in 2022.
