John Moran Auctioneers announce that their November 30th Antiques Auction, showcasing fine antique, vintage and signed jewelry and watches, is open for consignments. This will be Moran’s largest and most important jewelry sale of the year, with several hundred pieces gathered from private collections and estates across the country. Items already consigned include a large collection of Art Deco diamond and sapphire earrings, bracelets, watches and pendants, and pieces by Buccellati, Erte and Miriam Haskell.
Moran’s annual fall jewelry auctions are highly anticipated events, internationally marketed and typically attracting hundreds of bidders participating in person, by telephone and online. The jewelry market has thrived in recent years and Moran’s expects prices to remain strong as investors seek a reliably safe haven in precious stones and metals. Moran’s achieved excellent results at their last two sales in which jewelry was offered, in April and December, including the $16,100 realized for a 3.95 carats pear-shaped diamond set in an 18K yellow gold ring (estimate: $5000 – 7000), and the $10,925 realized for a 3.70 carats heart-shaped diamond set in a 14K yellow gold ring (estimate: $5500 – 7500).
Interested consignors should contact Moran’s specialists for a complimentary and discreet auction valuation. Moran’s offers highly competitive commission rates and pays consignors promptly, thirty days following the auction date. In addition to selling property on consignment at auction, Moran’s purchases select pieces outright, enabling a quick sale for even greater convenience.
