ATLANTA, GA. — A dazzling 5.64-carat pear-cut diamond and platinum ring, a Cartier coral, pearl and 18K gold necklace and a 26 total carat weight diamond and platinum riviere necklace are just a few of the expected top lots in Ahlers & Ogletree’s two-day Jewelry & Gifting auction scheduled for December 1-2, online and live in the Atlanta gallery, starting at 10 am Eastern time both days.

The two sessions combined will present more than 600 lots of jewelry by Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier and others; collectible watches by Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and others; designer accessories and costume jewelry by Chanel, Hermes, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Rebecca Collins and Masha Archer and more.

Included in the sale are more than 200 lots of studio couture jewelry and vintage designer fashion accessories from the estate of Vectra Orkin Barnette — an avid lifetime collector of fine antiques and decorative arts from Italy, France and China — and jewelry from the estate of Fred Bentley Sr — the local Atlanta politician, art collector, patriarch and philanthropist.

All three of the expected top lots named above are in the Day 2 session, with the diamond and platinum ring carrying the highest estimate ($80/125,000). The 5.64-carat, pear-shaped brilliant faceted diamond is of SI-2 clarity and E color. It’s flanked by two modified bullet cut step faceted diamonds of VS-1 clarity and E/F color, weighing 0.96 total carat weight.

The Cartier (French, 1847) coral, pearl and 18K gold quadruple-strand necklace from 1976 has two strands of spherical orange red coral beads flanked by two strands of white bodied cultured pearls, centering an ornate clasp, set with 24 native cut with carved vegetal motif green emeralds weighing 4.05 total carat weight, plus nine marquise cut and 40 round brilliant cut diamonds weighing 8 total carat weight ($10/15,000).

The platinum tested diamond riviere necklace boasts one round brilliant cut diamond weighing about 2.20 carats of VS-2 clarity and I/J color, plus 95 graduated round brilliant cut diamonds of VS-2/SI-1 clarity and H/I color, weighing approximately 24 total carat weight. The diamond clasp contains one marquise cut and six baguette cut diamonds weighing 0.15 total carat weight ($35/70,000).

A diamond and platinum ring having one marquise cut brilliant faceted diamond weighing 3.72 carats, with SI-2 clarity and J color, flanked by two triangular cut brilliant faceted diamonds of SI-1 clarity and G/H color, weighing 1.50 total carat weight, with a GIA Diamond Grading Report, should hit $18/35,000.

A gem-set 18K white gold necklace with pendant, having one large triangular cut medium dark strong blue tanzanite stone weighing 20 total carat weight, plus one smaller tanzanite weighing 6.75 total carat weight, set with 375 round brilliant cut diamonds of overall SI-1 clarity and G/H color, has an estimate of $20/30,000.

Two never-worn Rolex watches have identical $18/22,000 estimates. One is a 2019 Oyster Perpetual date Submariner’ “Hulk” stainless steel watch. The other is a 2019 Oyster Perpetual date GMT Master II “Batman” stainless steel watch. Both have tags, cards, papers and inner/outer boxes.

A circa 1969 Tiffany & Co gem-set 18K yellow gold bow brooch having 72 round brilliant cut diamonds of VVS-2/VS-1 clarity and F/G color, weighing 10.16 total carat weight, plus 60 round cut bright green emeralds weighing 3.82 total carat weight stamped ‘Tiffany & Co” and “Paris,” should reach $10/20,000.

All the items described so far are in the Day 2 session, but Day 1 should not be ignored. It will be led by creations by David Yurman (American, 1980). Tops among these is an Albion Collection diamond and 18K yellow gold pendant and necklace, the pendant having 51 round brilliant cut diamonds of VS-1/VS-2 clarity and F/G color, weighing a total of 0.60 total carat weight ($2,7/5,000).

A David Yurman diamond and 18K yellow gold twisted rope necklace (or choker) with a white gold “X” accent, the fineness and maker’s mark stamped to the back of the clasp, 14½ inches long, has an estimate of $2/3,000; while a David Yurman-style onyx, diamond and 14K yellow gold mesh bracelet with hook and loop clasp, 17¾ inches long, is estimated to change hands for $1,5/2,000.

Chanel bags will also be on the Day 1 menu. They will feature a 2006-09 Chanel cream quilted lambskin Boston Duffel handbag with dark brown trim, gunmetal hardware, “CC” zipper charm and COA card ($1/3,000); and a Chanel black quilted satin and gold tone flap evening bag, circa 1986-88, with repeating “CC” logos, red leather interior and box ($1/2,000).
