Buoyed by strong results in its global jewellery sales in 2022, Phillips will be holding regular jewellery auctions in Geneva, underscoring its commitment to the jewellery category. 

“With its rich heritage and reputation as a global hub for luxury and collectibles, Geneva serves as an ideal location for these prestigious auctions, attracting discerning collectors from around the world,” the company said.

The inaugural auctions in Geneva on November 6 will include a various owner auction featuring a selection of vintage and modern jewels by renowned houses such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, alongside other diamonds and gemstones, and the auction of a private collection. The latter will include over 120 lots of precious Art Deco objects, such as boxes, vanity cases and timepieces, with estimates ranged from no reserve to CHF 100,000 (approximately US$116,088.6).

"We are privileged to bring such a rare and comprehensive Art Deco collection to the market. This lovingly assembled collection pays homage to the discerning eye of the collector, who thoughtfully selected the finest jewellery houses and designers of the Art Deco period, capturing the diverse styles and trends of the era," said Benoît Repellin, Phillips’ worldwide head of jewellery.

Asia touring previews will be held in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore in October.

Phillips’ jewellery department achieved record-breaking annual sales totals in 2021 and 2022, with a 185 per cent increase in value during Fall 2022 compared with Spring 2022.
