Christie’s Emerald Glory_ 15 Most Expensive and Legendary Jewels They Ever Sold

Whenever I am looking into a new Christie’s jewelry auction catalogue, I actually never wait for diamonds, because sometimes the most interesting pieces can be colored jewels like emerald necklaces, earrings, pendants, and I am not sure why, but Christie’s has had a very remarkable fate with them. Some of their first emeralds caused sensations, bidding battles, and even entered Guinness records. But the most fascinating part is that some of these jewels returned to the same auction house decades later, with a completely different story — and occasionally, completely different prices.
Thus, we welcome you to learn about the 15 most legendary emerald jewelry lots sold at Christie's from its first large jewelry auction to recent years.
