Christie’s Jewels Online | 18 November 2025
Antique jewellery represents one of the most captivating chapters in the history of the decorative arts. Crafted with remarkable precision and artistic intent, these jewels embody a world in which adornment served not merely as embellishment but as an expression of sentiment, belief and status. The materials most often favoured — silver and gold — were worked by hand into elaborate forms, chased, engraved or repoussé, and often contrasted to enhance their natural sheen. Goldsmiths of the 18th and 19th centuries achieved an extraordinary level of refinement using tools that demanded both strength and sensitivity, transforming precious metals into delicate frameworks for gemstones of old-world charm.
