Bonhams is offering a Kat Florence necklace sporting an 81.17-carat Paraiba tourmaline at its upcoming sale in Paris, where it has an upper estimate of EUR 80,000 ($89,469).
The pendant features a cushion-cut, neon-blue stone on an openwork mount containing brilliant-cut diamonds. The piece will lead the October 29 Fine Jewellery, Paris sale, Bonhams said last week.
The auction house will showcase more than 180 lots, including jewels from famous maisons such as Cartier, Chaumet and Buccellati. The sale will also feature a selection of colored gemstones, among them sapphires, rubies and emeralds.
Here are the rest of the top five pieces:
A Chaumet ring centering a step-cut, 13.70-carat Sri Lankan sapphire within a surround of eight step-cut diamonds.
A Cartier ring bearing an oval-cut, 11.50-carat Madagascar sapphire between two pear-cut diamonds.
A ring starring a princess-cut diamond in a geometric surround of onyx with princess-cut diamond-set shoulders.
This ring features an emerald-cut, 3.05-carat, D, internally flawless-clarity diamond.
