A four-piece emerald and diamond set headlined a recent jewelry sale at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong, exceeding its estimate to fetch HKD 2.4 million ($310,193).

The group comprises a necklace featuring 76 step-cut, cushion- and pear-shaped emeralds with marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, a pair of earrings with 16 pear-shaped Zambian emeralds, a bracelet and a ring.
