A fancy-yellow diamond ring was the top seller at Heritage Auctions’ Fall Fine Jewelry Signature Auction, fetching $337,500.

The ring, which is set with a radiant-cut 16.07-carat yellow diamond center stone, flanked by 2.65 carats of shield-shaped diamonds, exceeded its presale estimate by over $110,000, the Dallas, Texas-based auction house said last week. The September 30 sale saw strong results, with bidders showing particular interest in diamonds and colored gemstones. In total, the event garnered over $5 million.

“Overall, we were very pleased with the auction results,” said Jill Burgum, executive director of fine jewelry at Heritage Auctions. “Diamonds and fine colored gemstones performed exceptionally well. The presence of numerous charities added a positive, feel-good atmosphere to the event.”

Here are some of the other top pieces sold at the auction:

This Van Cleef & Arpels ring, featuring a pear-shaped, 5.01-carat, type IIa diamond, brought in $300,000.
Breaking the six-figure mark was this unmounted round brilliant, 5.18-carat, E-color, VVS2-clarity diamond, which sold for $150,000.
An emerald-cut, 5.62-carat, I-color, VS1-clarity diamond ring went for $75,000.
A brooch with a cushion-shaped, 12.15-carat Ceylon sapphire and diamonds realized $75,000.
