These are the 13 best jewels at TEFAF Maastricht 2020:
Wallace Chan only brought three new jewels with him. He was planning to bring two more but they were sold before the fair began. The statement piece was The Snowflake, a large titanium brooch that combines yellow diamonds, aquamarines, green tourmalines, sapphires, and Chan’s proprietary unbreakable porcelain set in titanium anodized to create several colors. The piece is centered with a 7.86-carat yellow diamond. The rest of the jewel is dominated by blue, white and pink colors.
This piece features 487 fancy-cut emeralds of several shapes and sizes, totaling 172.58 carats. Seventeen of them come from Colombia, with the largest being 30.06 carats. With each angle and height accurately calculated, the emeralds are set in an interlaced- and embossed-like manner to create a three-dimensional contour for the brooch that portrays its an airy appearance. A total of of 14 barbs, all linked to the yellow diamond-paved rachis with flexible joints provide motion.
Among the vintage jewelry dealers, statement diamonds and tiaras were the big show stoppers. Hancocks unveiled a diamond tiara owned by Henry Cyril Paget, the 5th Marquess of Anglesey . The tiara, circa 1890 is formed of a graduated row of more than 100 carats of old European and old mine-cut diamonds, which can detach to form a rivière necklace.London fine jewelry dealer, S.J. Phillips, presented a circa-1900 tiara with yellow diamonds along the top of the piece and white diamonds below.
Among the statement diamonds, London firm Symbolic & Chase featured an emerald-cut, 14.23-carat, fancy-intense-pink diamond that hadn’t been on the market for 10 years. Known as the Perfect Pink, it last sold at auction in 2010 for $23.1 million. It was originally unearthed at the Argyle mine in Australia, which is set to close by the end of this year.Anthony DeMarco
Meanwhile, Hancocks featured an old-cut, pear-shaped, 20.20-carat diamond of H color and VVS2 clarity, circa 1900.While the diamond at the Symbolic & Chase booth was quite impressive, the firm featured hundreds of other interesting jewels. One piece that caught my eye was a simple cuff, a late Bronze Age armilla , circa 800 B.C. The ridged bronze torque is embellished with geometric motifs composed of concentric curves and lines.
