What happened in the auction market this year? The January issue, our first special edition, drills down on specific topics, taking an in-depth look at the pieces that made the 2025 auction year a raging success.
Anthony DeMarco delves into the major jewelry sales at Christie’s, Sotheby’s, Phillips and Bonhams. Blue was the color of the year, with Bunny Mellon’s fabulous 9.51-carat Mellon Blue diamond nabbing $25.6 million at Christie’s, and the 10.03-carat Mediterranean Blue raking in $21.5 million at Sotheby’s.
A separate article by Carol Besler explores how timepieces fared this past year, while Rachael Taylor asks auction-house executives which piece they sold in 2025 was their favorite, and why.
Also in this special issue is a full auction data report, with descriptions, final prices and RAPI prices for all diamond jewelry sold last year. The report contains over 20 pages of drill-down information on how diamonds are doing in the resale market.
