On November 10 and 11, 2021, Sotheby’s Geneva organized an exceptional auction of royal jewels and colored diamonds. The sale of the royal jewels far exceeded the estimates.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the auction by Sotheby’s<\/strong>, a sapphire and diamond brooch and matching ear clips that belonged to the Russian imperial dynasty of the Romanovs were sold for nearly $900,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The jewelry, which belonged to Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna the Elder<\/strong>, the aunt of the last czar, Nicholas II<\/strong>, was smuggled out of Russia by British diplomat Albert Henry Stopford<\/strong> for safekeeping. During the revolution in 1917, the czar, his wife and their children were massacred.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Dressed in a workman’s outfit, Stopford was sent to secretly retrieve the jewels from the Grand Duchess’ home, the 360-room Vladimir Palace. (…) He dismantled the jewelry, folding the pieces in old newspaper to protect them<\/em>,” the auction house shares.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sotheby’s said it was rare for jewelry with such “historic provenance<\/em>” to be auctioned, and that “the appearance of these superb sapphire and diamond pieces has attracted interest from collectors around the world<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new buyer won the auction by spending 806,500 Swiss francs<\/strong> ($885,000) at the sale in Geneva. Estimates were in the range of $300,000 to $500,000.<\/p>\n
