Iconic Jewelry Houses Bring the Bling to Bonhams Paris

The upcoming Paris Jewels auction at Bonhams Cornette de Saint Cyr will feature 160 pieces from iconic jewelry houses, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, and Chaumet.

The star of the April 25 sale is a Cartier Panthère brooch, made in 1968. The piece is set with brilliant- and single-cut diamonds, onyx, emerald, and coral, Bonhams said Monday. It carries an estimate of EUR 90,000 to EUR 120,000 ($97,749 to $130,346).

“Paris Jewels features a delightful selection of gem-set animal jewelry from leading maisons in an array of designs from birds [and] dogs to cats and ladybirds,” said Marine Girardet, head of jewelry for Bonhams France.
