The sale is headlined by a private collection sold to benefit a charitable foundation, Sotheby’s was able to reveal.

It includes a Harry Winston emerald and diamond necklace, a 13.02-carat Burmese ruby ring, as well as a necklace set with diamonds totaling over 168 carats.

There are also mid-century classics by French makers such as Cartier, Sterlé and René Boivin, and a curated selection of ‘Mystery-Set’ jewels by Van Cleef & Arpels.
