No sooner had SJ Auctioneers closed the books on any further consignments, a collection of 25 jewelry items fell into the firm’s lap and they simply had to fold them into the sale. The items have presale estimates of $2,500 at the low end up to $15,000 at the high end.

Included in the group is a solid 18K white gold Bvlgari Astrale Cerchi necklace; an 18K yellow gold and enamel mythical dragon bracelet; a Bvlgari 18K yellow gold and stainless-steel Pisces zodiac sign pendant; an 18K yellow gold ring with retro charm by Maison Chaumet; and an 18K yellow gold 1.64-carat diamond and Tahitian pearl statement ring.

The set of 12 repousse sterling silver goblets by A.G. Schultz of Baltimore could easily end up being among the list of top lots. Each goblet stands just over 6½ inches tall and the group has a combined weight of more than 80 troy ounces ($12/14,000).
