The most renowned jewelry brands in the world, including Cartier, Boucheron, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co. (including pieces by Jean Schlumberger), Van Cleef & Arpels, Buccellati, and Christian Dior, will have stunning designs on display during this sale, according to a recent report by Annie Davison Watson of JCK.

One of the 173 items is a Cartier desk clock from around 1930 with a fan-shaped diamond hour hand and a mother-of-pearl dial with Roman numerals studded in diamonds. The clock sits gracefully on a base of onyx and gold, surrounded by coral bands and accented in black enamel. It is anticipated to sell for between $130,000 and $200,000.
