Leading design houses and exceptional gemstones anchor Christie’s latest Hong Kong jewelry auction.
Christie’s has unveiled an impressive lineup of diamonds and colored gemstones for its Magnificent Jewels Online auction in Hong Kong, with bidding open until December 5. The event brings together standout creations from renowned jewelry houses and rare stones that appeal to both collectors and investors.
Leading the sale is a striking pair of emerald-cut, D-color, internally flawless diamond earrings, estimated to fetch up to HKD 2 million ($256,974). The design incorporates six diamonds ranging between 1.01 and 3.01 carats, for a combined weight of 12.05 carats, making it one of the most valuable pieces in the auction.
Alongside the top lot, Christie’s is presenting an array of exceptional gemstones and branded jewels. Houses such as Cartier, Hermes, Bucherer and Buccellati are represented, offering collectors a diverse selection of craftsmanship and heritage.

Among the notable individual pieces is a 0.86-carat fancy-vivid purplish-pink diamond ring, featuring a cut-cornered square modified-cut stone with SI2 clarity. It carries an upper estimate of HKD 1.5 million ($192,729).


Two standout ruby rings are also set to attract significant attention. One features an antique cushion-cut 4.28-carat Burmese ruby framed by diamonds, while another highlights a 12.78-carat oval Burmese ruby in a setting of round and pear-shaped diamonds. These lots are estimated at HKD 1.5 million and HKD 1.2 million, respectively.


Diamond earrings continue to dominate the top selections, including a pair of pear-brilliant-cut D-color, VVS1 diamonds weighing 3.28 and 3.25 carats, estimated at HKD 800,000 ($102,787). Another pair featuring fancy-vivid and fancy-intense yellow diamonds in matching cut-cornered rectangular modified brilliant cuts is likewise expected to reach up to HKD 800,000.
As the auction progresses, Christie’s anticipates strong interest from international buyers seeking rarity, investment-grade gems and finely crafted luxury pieces.
