Charterhouse in Sherborne have been asked to auction a large collection of jewellery, from a cottage in Somerset, in their two day specialist auctions of jewellery, watches and silver on Wednesday 30th April and Thursday 1st May.

“There is a great selection of jewellery from the mid 19th century onwards but it’s the modern designer jewellery which caught my eye.” Commented Richard Bromell. “The market for jewellery, watches and silver continues to remain strong and I expect the collection to sell for £10,000.”

A highlight of the collection is an 18ct gold, sapphire and diamond ring by John Donald estimated at £2,000.

John Donald, who died in 2023, was a jeweller and designer whose work was strongly identified in London during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Clients included The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, and his work can also be found in the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Further entries of jewellery, watches and silver are now being invited for this huge two day auction.
