Christie’s will present, in May 2023, the most significant and valuable private assortment of jewelry to be sold at auction. The collection will feature a meticulously chosen assortment of pieces from the top 20th-century designers such as Bulgari, Cartier, Harry Winston, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
Heidi Horten (1941-2022) left a lasting mark on the world of jewelry collecting, having pursued a range of interests in fine and decorative arts throughout her lifetime. However, it was her extraordinary private collection of jewels that truly set her apart as a noteworthy figure.
Christie’s will showcase 700 lots from Horten’s collection through a series of auctions during Luxury Week in Geneva, starting from May 2023. The collection will be presented in two parts during live sales on May 10th and 12th, and an online sale from May 3rd to May 15th.
The upcoming sales will exhibit an array of exceptional and one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces crafted by renowned 20th-century designers such as Cartier, Harry Winston, Boivin, and Van Cleef & Arpels. The collection will feature both vintage and contemporary designs, in addition to a significant selection of pearls, jade pieces, and Bulgari creations from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
