“This selection of artists’ jewelry aims to reintroduce these works to the discerning collector in a new context and as a defined category of art for a collection that is not only intended for adornment, but also as a means of personal expression.”

The sale will be divided into “chapters” based on artistic movements: kineticism, abstract expressionism, sculpture, surrealism, avant-garde, maverick, minimales, modernism, and visionaries.
