Jewellery
Charterhouse hold four specialist jewellery, watch and silver auctions per year which are always very well attended by both members of the public and the trade, ensuring constant impressive results and a very high selling rate. Each piece will be valued with the care that this most sentimental subject matter deserves and will be placed in the most suitable auction. Our specialists have many years of experience in the field and are fully conversant with all types of jewellery whether it be Georgian paste, Victorian Etruscan revival by Castellani, the exquisite quality of Belle Époque Cartier, the 1960s Scandinavian designers, a certificated diamond or inherited family heirlooms.
Valuations for auction, probate, family division or insurance can be carried out in-house, at a client’s home for larger collections or at a safe deposit facility.
All of our auctions use live internet bidding platforms to ensure that every lot, whether it is worth £20 or £500,000, reaches the widest possible market and sells for the best price possible. In the run-up to an auction, we receive 100s of emails requesting further information for lots in the sale. Attached to these email replies, we regularly send well over 1,000 digital images, such is the huge interest generated in our auctions.

Super Sapphires at Charterhouse Auction
A large multi-coloured sapphire ring is estimated to sell for £10,000 in the Charterhouse two day specialist auction of silver, jewellery and watches at their Sherborne Salerooms on the 22nd & 23rd July.
“This crossover ring certainly sparkles and pops in the light.” Commented Richard Bromell. “It would not look out of place at a cocktail party, but at the same time, is eminently wearable when popping down to the supermarket for a loaf of bread and a pint of milk!”
The ring was bought for the owner as a present by her late husband from a Christie’s jewellery auction in New York nearly a decade ago.
Made in fashionable 18ct white gold, the ring is set with two octagonal step cut sapphires – one blue and one yellow – each of approximately 4ct. Whilst many sapphires have been heat treated, the blue and unusual yellow sapphire set in this ring have their original colour and unusually not been heat treated to embellish their colour.
Viewing details, all lots and online bidding is available on charterhouse-auction.com
Richard Bromell and the team at Charterhouse, The Long Street Salerooms, Sherborne are available for valuations on single items, collections and complete house contents on 01935 812277 or via rb@charterhouse-auction.com
