10 | JNA March/April 2025 FOCUS 焦点 Rarity and colour were the sweet spot for luxury jewellery auctions in 2024, with one-of-a-kind investment jewellery alongside signed pieces and single-owner collections gaining favour among seasoned and aspiring collectors alike. The buyer demographic has also become more dynamic. Younger clients continued to make their presence felt at auction circles while highly discerning and more sophisticated Asian bidders actively participated in overseas sales. Auction houses intensified their digital offerings, combining live and online events to expand their market reach. Meanwhile, several auctioneers strengthened their business strategies in Asia by opening bigger headquarters and aimed to offer rarer, more exquisite jewellery pieces. Not all is rosy though as companies faced headwinds that could continue well into 2025. The most pressing challenges include sourcing valuable private collections as well as pricing difficulties, ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical instability, evolving consumer demand and heightened competition. Vivid and unique Colour was the clear winner at last year’s luxury jewellery auctions, led by fancy pink diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds, to name a few. At Christie’s New York, a 10.20-carat fancy intense round brilliant-cut pink diamond ring in 18-karat rose and white gold fetched US$13.29 million, becoming the most expensive jewellery sold at auction in 2024. Demand for top-quality Kashmir, Burmese and Ceylon sapphires along with Colombian emeralds and Burmese rubies was equally robust, according to Ronny Hsu, head of sales, Jewellery Department at Christie’s Asia Pacific. At Christie’s Hong Kong, clients eagerly vied for a Burmese ruby and diamond ring that fetched close to HK$50 million (around US$6.42 million), and a 7.70-carat Kashmir sapphire and diamond ring, which was bought above estimate for over HK$8.6 million (approximately US$1.1 million). Bonhams shared this observation. Jean Ghika, Bonhams’ global head of Jewellery, noted, “The focus for buyers in 2024 has been colour. We have achieved strong results for | Bernardette Sto.

JNA March/April 2025 | 11 FOCUS 焦点 The jewellery auction market in 2024 has shown resilience, reflecting stable demand for high-quality pieces that buyers were keen on investing in compared to mid-market items. – Uni Kim, co-head of Sale and specialist, Jewellery at Sotheby’s Asia Over at Sotheby’s, fancy colour diamonds and signed jewels were major growth drivers. Uni Kim, co-head of Sale and specialist, Jewellery at Sotheby’s Asia, explained, “Works that showcase uniqueness and rarity, both in terms of design and history, are highly coveted, with a special focus on single-owner collections.” At its Magnificent Jewels sale in Hong Kong last April, Sotheby’s offered a 7.01-carat fancy vivid yellowish-orange diamond ring, which attained HK$29.5 million (around US$3.7 million) and a Jacques Timey for Harry Winston sapphire and diamond ring, which was purchased for HK$19.81 million (about US$2.53 million). Kim also highlighted The Phillips Family Collection from Japan offered in April 2024, which achieved a 100 per cent sell-through rate, with 60 per cent of the items surpassing high pre-sale estimates. Bucking the colour trend was the Fortune Five Unmounted Diamond, a 55.55-carat Type IIA oval brilliant-cut white diamond that generated US$5.8 million at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in April last year. Apart from signed pieces, antique and vintage jewellery were also winners, having exceeded pre-sale valuations at Sotheby’s October auctions, added Kim. A few notable examples were a “Zip” diamond necklace and a “Bals de légende” turquoise, onyx and diamond clip brooch from Van Cleef & Arpels. Evolving landscape Despite a steady level of bidding enthusiasm observed in 2024, buyers remained cautious due to economic instability, noted Fung Chiang, head of the Jewels, Watches and Handbags Department of Poly Auction Hong Kong. And while demand for natural colourless diamonds was down, fine coloured gems and luxury signed pieces with investment and collection value were highly sought after, he added. Kim of Sotheby’s agreed, adding that this preference for rarity reflects a broader consumer desire for special pieces that tell a story. both fancy colour diamonds as well as coloured gemstones in our global salesrooms.” In June 2024, Bonhams auctioned off the “Toi Et Moi” ring adorned with fancy intense blue and fancy purple-pink diamonds by Mouwad for US$3.76 million in London. This growing penchant for colours became more pronounced during subsequent auctions. At a single-owner sale in Bonhams New York in September 2024, a buyer snapped up an 8.68-carat emerald and diamond ring by Oscar Heyman for US$508,500 while a Paraiba tourmaline and diamond ring achieved US$533,900. Another pink diamond made it to the list of topperforming lots last year – a 6.21-carat fancy vivid pink diamond ring, which attained US$12 million at Phillips Geneva. Appetite was likewise steady for red diamonds, the rarest of all fancy diamond colours, according to Janet Lam, senior specialist at Phillips Jewels. Phillips achieved a world record price for “The Argyle Phoenix,” a 1.56-carat fancy red diamond ring, which raked in US$4.2 million. Coloured gemstones also enjoyed the limelight. A 280.84-carat emerald, called “The Amazon Queen,” which sparked a 30-minute bidding war, sold for over US$3 million at Phillips Geneva. Auction houses similarly observed mounting fascination for signed jewels at last year’s auctions. “There is strong demand for discontinued, one-of-a-kind and limited-edition signed pieces,” said Hsu of Christie’s. “For example, an ‘India Tutti-Frutti’ necklace by Cartier realised HK$67.7 million (around US$8.7 million) in Hong Kong after over 10 minutes of competitive bidding.” The multi-gem ‘India Tutti-Frutti’ necklace by Cartier was snapped up for HK$67.7 million (around US$8.7 million) at Christie’s Hong Kong 镶嵌多颗宝石的卡地亚India Tutti-Frutti项链,于佳士得香港 地区拍卖会以6,770万港元(约870万美元)成交
12 | JNA March/April 2025 FOCUS 焦点 Another rising phenomenon is younger buyers, or those under 50, becoming more active participants at auctions, which Kim attributed to the emergence of online platforms. The number of buyers under 20 years old has grown exponentially in the past five years while online participation of those in their 20s has surged by over seven times within the same period. Similarly, the number of buyers in their 30s has more than tripled. “This trend indicates a shift towards diversification in the market, with younger collectors showing interest in a wide range of items – from traditional luxury pieces to contemporary designs,” added Kim. Hsu of Christie’s noted that both upcoming and seasoned collectors are willing to invest within their budgets while seeking high-quality gemstones. Younger buyers, for instance, are interested in understanding gemstones and once they have a better grasp of a gem’s intrinsic value and beauty, their willingness to invest more time and money also rises. To better resonate with the younger generation, Christie’s incorporates online auctions that coincide with its live events. “This meets the diverse needs of clients across various price ranges and attracts more younger buyers,” remarked Hsu. Kim is anticipating stronger participation in online auctions moving forward as well as continued interest in one-of-a-kind pieces. The auction business is also evolving as it continuously adapts to changing consumer preferences, with a notable shift towards online sales and hybrid auction models that combine live events with digital participation. “These changes are advantageous as they broaden the market reach and engage new demographics, particularly younger collectors who value both tradition and innovation,” she added. Bonhams is likewise at the forefront of this digital evolution in the auction space. According to Ghika, consumers have become more confident in making jewellery purchases online and offline, even at higher price points. In fact, Bonhams’ global registration numbers have risen by 29 per cent year on year. Online auctions and the introduction of the Bonhams App made it easier for clients to place bids. “As a direct result, we have seen strong results with each sale made up of both local and international buyers with clients bidding in auctions outside of their local region. Additionally, we are seeing the Asian consumer actively participating in our European and US sales,” remarked Ghika. Asia strategy Ghika also said appetite for fine jewellery in the Asian market remains strong, especially for rare stones and innovative designs from established jewellery houses. Bonhams recently opened its new Hong Kong Headquarters at Six Pacific Place in Wanchai, which spans over 19,000 square feet and three floors. The new premises also feature flexible gallery spaces alongside a permanent salesroom. Christie's also inaugurated its new Asia Pacific headquarters at The Henderson in Central, which Hsu described as instrumental to advancing Christie’s business strategies in Asia and fostering the region’s unwavering demand for art and luxury. Presenting exquisite collections alongside providing educational experiences to inspire the next generation are at the centre of Christie’s new year-round calendar of sales and events, according to Hsu. “Our business strategy emphasises the importance of consigning private collections, allowing us to offer exclusive pieces that cater to discerning collectors,” added Hsu. Asia is also a key focus for Sotheby’s, revealed Kim. The auction house unveiled Sotheby’s Maison in Central in July last year, further enhancing client experience. 7.02-carat unheated Burmese ruby and diamond ring, which sold for US$1.25 million at Phillips Geneva 7.02克拉无烧缅甸 红宝石配钻石戒指,于富艺斯日内瓦拍卖会上以125万美元成交 The Eden Rose in 18-karat rose and white gold adorned with a 10.20-carat fancy intense round brilliant-cut pink diamond and diamond accents of various shapes sold for US$13.29 million at Christie’s New York “伊甸玫瑰”18K玫瑰金白金戒指的主石是一颗 10.20克拉的圆形明亮式切割浓彩粉钻,周围缀以多颗钻石,于佳士 得纽约拍卖会以1,329万美元的高价成交
JNA March/April 2025 | 13 FOCUS 焦点 Since its opening, the maison has welcomed over 400,000 visitors, 10 times more compared to 2023, as Sotheby’s was able to interact with existing and potential clients more conveniently and regularly. While physical presence is critical to growing the market, digital transformation remains a high priority for Sotheby’s too. These include stronger engagement strategies that leverage social media and influencer partnerships to attract younger buyers. Kim explained, “The jewellery auction market is poised for continued growth as it embraces technological advancements and shifts in consumer behaviour. Luxury spending remains strong.” Meanwhile, the year 2025 marks a significant milestone for Phillips as it celebrates its 10th anniversary in Asia. Lam of Phillips said the goal this year is to offer a diverse range of items to attract different buyer segments and tailor auction offerings to satisfy local preferences. Echoing the need to tap into new markets, Chiang of Poly Auction revealed that the company will focus on branding and expanding its customer base in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2025. The year ahead Lam said the auction market faced volatility in 2024 arising from economic and geopolitical instability, and fluctuating consumer demand. However, the key to mitigating potential headwinds was securing top consignments from seasoned collectors. Fine gems and investment-grade jewellery remain resilient to business uncertainties as these are always highly favoured by connoisseurs, shared Lam. Additionally, the auction market is increasingly becoming more competitive, with several auction houses vying for prominent consignments and buyers. Other stakeholders echoed this sentiment. Chiang remarked that 2025 will continue to be a challenging year due to macroeconomic uncertainties. More and more people, however, are viewing jewellery as a valuable investment. This also brings to the fore the importance of consigning high-quality jewellery for buyers, which is a major priority for Poly Auction. Hsu, for his part, noted that sourcing private collections with unique pieces at competitive prices remains a significant challenge. High-quality collections that come to auction and are meticulously curated often lead to remarkable results, he added. As such, Christie’s is focusing on consignment strategies critical to building an exceptional sale. “Jewellery and gemstones have an enduring appeal and, following the demand witnessed at Christie's throughout 2024, we enter 2025 with cautious optimism,” stated Hsu. “Securing extraordinary pieces at competitive estimates will be vital for our auction success in 2025. This strategy not only attracts bidders but also enhances our reputation as market leader.” Hsu added that robust pricing trends in the gemstone market over the past year, which indicates strong demand and limited supply, are likely to persist, reinforcing the stability of gemstone investments. Meanwhile, Ghika of Bonhams remains upbeat about further growth in 2025, adding that the market is buoyant for fancy colour and antique, old-cut diamonds as well as rare period jewellery, particularly from major houses. “In our December New York Jewels sale, we saw early indications of a return to white diamonds with the top lot being a 10.22-carat heart-shaped diamond pendant, which sold for US$343,400,” revealed Ghika. The market is becoming more selective in its acquisitions yet the appetite for exceptional jewellery pieces remains as strong as ever, particularly in Asia where there have been significantly more sophisticated collectors over the past 30 to 40 years. – Janet Lam, senior specialist at Phillips Jewels Paraiba-type tourmaline and diamond pendant necklace by Kat Florence, which sold for US$539,500 at Bonhams Hong Kong Kat Florence帕拉依巴碧玺配钻石吊坠项链,于邦瀚斯香港地区 拍卖会上以539,500美元售出

JNA March/April 2025 | 15 FOCUS 焦点 此外,也有部分拍品与色彩趋势反其道而行。一颗名为 “福运之星”的55.55克拉IIA型椭圆形明亮式切割白钻,去 年4月在苏富比香港地区拍卖会上以580万美元成交。 她补充道,古董珠宝在苏富比10月拍卖会的成交价亦 超出了估价水平。例子有梵克雅宝的Zip钻石项链和Bals de légende绿松石、黑玛瑙配钻石胸针。 不断演变的拍卖业 保利香港地区拍卖珠宝、钟表及手袋尚品部门主管蒋肇 丰指出,尽管2024年的拍卖气氛持续畅旺,但由于经济不稳 定,买家态度变得较为谨慎。 他补充道,虽然白钻的需求下跌,但具有投资和收藏价 值的珍贵彩宝和签名珠宝却备受推崇。 苏富比的金允喜对此表示赞同,并指出罕有珍品的热度 反映出人们普遍对珠宝背后的经历和故事的渴求。 此外,50岁以下的年轻买家也更踊跃参与拍卖,金允喜 将此归因于线上平台的出现。过去五年来,岁以下买家数目 大幅增加,而20岁以上人士的线上参与度则上升了七倍多。 此外,30岁以上买家的数目亦增至超过三倍。 她补充道:“这显示了市场变得更多元化,年轻藏家对传 统奢侈品以至当代设计都大感兴趣。” 佳士得的许仁玮表示,不论是新进或资深的收藏家,都 愿意在预算范围内投资优质宝石。 年轻的买家都希望了解宝石的内在价值和魅力,从而投 入更多的时间和资金。 为了吸引年轻买家,佳士得特别将线上和现场拍卖结合 起来。许表示:“这样能够满足不同价格范围的需求,并吸引 更多年轻竞投者。” 金允喜预计,未来线上拍卖的参与度将进一步上升,而 独一无二的珠宝也持续大热。随着拍卖业积极迎合消费者 的喜好,行业也明显转型至线上拍卖,以及结合现场与数字 形式的混合模式。她说:“这样有助拓宽市场并吸引新的年 龄层,特别是重视传统和创新的年轻收藏家。” 邦瀚斯同样走在拍卖领域数字化发展的前沿。Ghika指 出,现今的消费者更有信心在线上和线下竞投珠宝,价格较 高也在所不惜。 而事实上,邦瀚斯的全球买家注册数目同比增长29%。 线上拍卖和邦瀚斯应用程式相继推出后,更能方便客户进 行竞投。 Ghika指出:“最直接的成效就是业绩飙升,每场拍卖都 有当地和国际买家参与,不少都是举行地点以外的客户。再 者,亚洲买家也积极参与我们的欧美拍卖会。” 亚洲市场策略 Ghika表示,亚洲市场对高级珠宝的需求依然旺盛,尤其 是知名珠宝品牌的稀有宝石和创新设计。 最近,邦瀚斯在湾仔太古广场六座开设香港地区总部, 逾19,000平方呎的空间横跨三层,设有拍卖中心和布局灵活 的艺廊空间。 佳士得也在中环The Henderson开设全新亚太区总部, 许仁玮称此举有利于推行亚洲业务策略,以及培养区内对 艺术品和奢侈品的持续需求。 今年佳士得的活动日程除了呈献珍贵的藏品外,亦致力 教育和启迪下一代买家。 许补充道:“我们的策略核心在于私人藏品寄售,以向品 味独到的买家提供独家珍品。” 金允喜指出,亚洲也是苏富比的重点市场。该行在2024 年7月于中环开设全新旗舰艺廊,极致提升客户体验。 艺廊面世令苏富比能够定期与现有和潜在客户交流,开 幕以来已接待了超过400,000万名访客,比2023年多出10倍。 实体活动和设施对于市场发展至关重要,但数字转型仍 然是不可或缺的,策略包括透过社交媒体和网红效应来吸 引年轻买家。 金解释:“随着珠宝拍卖业积极拥抱高科技发展和消费 者行为的改变,市场预期将继续增长。奢侈品消费势头仍然 强劲。” 踏进2025年,富艺斯亦隆重庆贺进军亚洲10周年。 富艺斯的林颖怡透露,该行今年将呈献更多样化的拍 品,以吸引不同的买家群,并根据各个地区的喜好调整拍品 种类。 保利的蒋肇丰亦表示该行将致力开拓新市场,在2025年 将专注于品牌建设,以及扩大中国内地和中国香港的客户群。 来年展望 林颖怡表示,拍卖市场在经济和地缘政治不稳定和消费 者需求波动的影响下,于2024年起伏不定。然而,若能获得 资深藏家寄售优秀藏品,将可减轻潜在不利因素。 她指出,顶级宝石和投资级珠宝一直深受鉴赏家欢迎, 在动荡市况下有避险作用。此外,拍卖市场竞争愈发激烈, 多家拍卖行都在争取显赫拍品以获得买家的垂青。 其他业内人士也深表同意。蒋肇丰表示,宏观经济的不 确定性令2025年挑战重重。不过,由于越来越多人将珠宝视 为投资品,保利的首要任务是物色优质珠宝寄售品。 许仁玮则指出,要搜罗价格具竞争力且独一无二的私 人藏品难度甚高。一般来说,经过精心挑选的优质拍品往往 成绩昭彰。因此,佳士得正专注实践寄售策略,以推动销售 佳绩。 许表示:“佳士得在2024年乐见需求强劲,证明了珠宝和 宝石具有持久的吸引力,我们对2025年抱持谨慎乐观的态 度。来年的成功要素,就是以具竞争力的估价搜罗非凡拍品, 不仅能吸引买家,也能够提升我们作为市场领导者的声誉。” 许补充,去年的宝石价格走势显示其需求畅旺而供应有 限,趋势可能会持续下去,有利于宝石投资的稳定性。 与此同时,因为彩钻、古董老式切工钻石和特定时期的 知名品牌稀有珠宝仍然活跃于市场,邦瀚斯的Ghika对2025 年的业务增长仍感乐观。 她透露:“在本行的12月纽约珠宝拍卖会上,我们窥 见白钻潮流开始回归,最高价拍品是一枚10.22克拉 的心形钻石吊坠,以343,400美元成交。” 'Toi Et Moi' ring with diamond and fancy colour diamond centre stones by Mouawad, which sold for US$3.77 million at Bonhams London Mouawad “Toi Et Moi”双主石戒指,镶有钻石 和彩色钻石,于邦瀚斯伦敦拍卖会上以377万美元成交

The judging panel consists of John Mulligan, head of Sustainability Strategy at the World Gold Council (WGC) and president of the Sustainable Development Commission of the World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO); Brandee Dallow, president of Ethical Metalsmiths and chief sustainability officer of Grandview Klein Diamonds; Caroline Yuan, vice president of the Shanghai Diamond Exchange (SDE); Andrew Lau, director of ESG Advisory for Colliers Asia; and Jan Porter, director of ESG at Meiyume, a B2B provider of beauty solutions. Invaluable platform Mulligan, who also served as judge last year, said, “In a world facing unprecedented social and environmental challenges, against a backdrop of escalating tensions and increased fragmentation, we need to find platforms to communicate and celebrate our shared sustainability goals. We also need to come together to develop a clearer vision of what success might look like if jewellery industry practitioners focus on positive actions and outcomes beyond their direct markets and products. I hope these Awards will continue to foster that common understanding and convergence, while inspiring others in the industry to commit to embedding sustainability at the heart of their businesses.” Dallow, for her part, said the Awards transcends traditional notions of excellence by recognising the profound intersection of artistry, innovation and ethical responsibility. “As our industry continues to evolve, it is imperative that we celebrate those who not only elevate craftsmanship and design but also champion sustainability, transparency and purposeful leadership,” she noted. Returning judges Lau and Porter said they were looking forward to seeing more innovations from the jewellery industry. Lau remarked, “As a sustainability professional, it is fascinating to see the positive progress in sustainability within the jewellery industry. Despite a tougher market environment, investing in ESG consistently yields positive impacts on financial returns, the environment (our Earth) and social well-being (our community).” Yuan added SDE was delighted to see JWA's evolution from a platform that recognises industry excellence “into something even more profound.” Informa Markets Jewellery’s Director of Jewellery Fairs Celine Lau said, “Purposefully assembled, our panel embodies a diverse spectrum of knowledge – from our very own jewellery community to experts deeply engaged in sustainable business practices within their respective domains – all aimed at fortifying the objectivity and equity of the awards.
