HIGH JEWELLERY

JEWELLERY AUCTIONS

For 40 years, the Fine Jewellery auction department has specialised in the auction of high-quality jewellery. Our auctioneer Cécile Simon and our expert Céline Rose David select, analyse and appraise the jewels in order to show them to their best advantage.

Each piece of fine jewellery is set with precious stones, semi-precious stones, ornamental stones or pearls. They are finely cut from precious metals such as gold, silver or platinum. The jeweller is a true artist, meticulously crafting a piece of haute joaillerie jewellery.

 

 

 

Jewellery, Luxury and Lifestyle Department

 

A classic department par excellence in any auction house, the quality of the pieces represented is what makes these sales so dynamic. Dynamic and driven by enthusiasts, the Fine Jewellery auction department relies on rigorous expert appraisals, often backed by international laboratories such as HRD SSEF GIA LFD.

Two experienced appraisers, specialist auctioneer Cécile Simon and appraiser Céline Rose David, put their jewellery expertise into every description. Each lot in the auction catalogue has its own description, the result of analysis and investigation by the experts. This appraisal enables us to showcase your jewellery (or future jewellery) while guaranteeing its essential qualities: stone, material, master jeweller, etc.

 

Calendar of sales dedicated to jewellery, luxury and the art of living

 

Six prestigious sales a year showcase the fine jewellery presented by Millon's specialised department in Paris, Brussels and Nice.

The catalogues feature quality lots of different materials (gold, white gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, pearls, jewellery set with precious stones: sapphire, emerald, ruby, etc.). The biggest names in Haute Joaillerie are represented here: Van Cleef & Arpels, Mellerio dits Meller, Cartier, Boucheron, Chaumet, Chanel Joaillerie and Dior Joaillerie...
