Coming soon to our auction: jewellery featuring pearls and toi-et-moi rings

Several times a year, we auction the finest jewellery, diamonds, watches, luxury accessories and silver. Behind every piece lies a remarkable story, hidden in the beauty of the object itself. We reveal two of these stories here. Coming soon in our Luxury Fall Auction: pearl jewellery and toi-et-moi rings. 

Toi et Moi — the story of Napoleon and Joséphine 

In 1796, Napoleon Bonaparte gave his fiancée Joséphine de Beauharnais an engagement ring set with two stones: toi et moi, you and me. In the centuries that followed, this design became a classic among engagement rings. A subtle departure from the usual solitaire ring, worn as a symbol of a bond between two people: two personalities, each unique, yet inseparable. 

Curious about the toi-et-moi rings in our upcoming auction? Discover them, along with many other vintage and antique rings, and browse our online catalogue. You can place a bid right away, too. 

Pearls — the only gemstones created from bad luck 

Pearls are formed in a remarkable way: when something — a grain of sand, for example — accidentally gets inside an oyster, it transforms the uninvited guest into a pearl by covering it with layer upon layer of mother-of-pearl. Pearls remain as popular as ever, and for each of our auctions, our product specialists select the most beautiful pearl jewellery for you: rings, bracelets, earrings and much more. 

Will the oyster’s tough luck become your good fortune? Discover the many different styles of pearl jewellery in our upcoming auction and browse our online catalogue. You can place a bid right away, too.

What is a pre-bid?

Prior to our auctions, we always organise a pre-bid. This allows you to bid on your favourite items before the auction starts. It is also possible to place an automatic bid. These bids automatically participate in the auction. Ideal if the auction coincides with an important appointment. During the pre-bid, you can place a bid at your convenience. Up to the amount you set, you are guaranteed to be the highest bidder.
