The bracelet, set with rubies, emeralds, sapphires, onyx stones and diamonds, resurfaced in a Sotheby’s auction in 1996, where it sold for US$350,000. In May 2022, Birds in Flight was offered at Sotheby’s Geneva where it fetched US$1.4 million. The piece was originally produced for Shreve, Crump & Low, one of America’s oldest jewellers.
