Cartıer bracelet wıll be ın Sotheby’s next month

A Cartier diamond bracelet that took nearly 2,000 hours to create will go under the hammer at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong next month.

The piece, featuring a pear-shaped, 63.66-carat, D-color, internally flawless diamond surrounded by rows of rock crystal, will lead the April 20 Magnificent Jewels sale, Sotheby’s said Monday. The Art Deco-style bracelet is estimated at $5.2 million to $8.4 million. Another top lot is a jadeite bangle weighing 277.67 carats called the Circle of Happiness, Sotheby’s noted.

The auction house will offer a 7-carat, fancy-intense-purplish-pink diamond ring created by Sotheby’s Diamonds, valued at $5.9 million to $7.1 million. Several other jewels by Cartier will also be up for sale, including a 23.48-carat, fancy-deep-pinkish-orange diamond ring with a high valuation of $6.3 million. A ring by the jeweler set with two Kashmir sapphires — weighing 5.1 and 4.71 carats — and two diamonds carries a high estimate of $1.2 million, while an emerald, seed-pearl, and diamond pendant necklace is set to fetch up to $840,000.
