Poly Auction will serve up a jadeite necklace at its upcoming Hong Kong sale, expecting it to bring in as much as HKD 60 million ($7.7 million).
The piece contains 43 jadeite beads joined together by a ruby clasp surrounded by circular-cut diamonds. It will lead the May 1 Magnificent Jewels sale, according to the auction house’s website.
In total, 116 lots are set to go under the hammer at the sale, including other jadeite pieces, and those set with colored diamonds, gemstones and pearls. Some of the jewels hail from a private collection, while the proceeds from the sale of others will go to charity. Pieces from well-known design houses also made the cut, including those from Harry Winston, Cartier, Buccellati and Bulgari.
Here are the rest of the top 10 items from the sale:
