Earth Collection. Lot 590: A Pair of Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond Earrings; Lot 591: Graff - A Colored Diamond and Diamond Necklace; Lot 589: A Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond and Diamond Ring.

\n\n

We turn to the ancient Chinese ideology of the five elemental essences of the universe — Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth— and their relationships to each other as the theme for our upcoming Jewels and Jadeite Fall Auction collection.

\n\n

An expansion of the yin-yang theory of balance, the Five Elements and their association with the concept of equilibrium and harmony are fundamental to understanding ourselves and our surroundings. Believed to be at the root of the universe and the reason for all connections and interactions, these Five Elements are the building blocks to multidisciplinary subjects, from martial arts to medicine, in the East.

\n\n

To reinterpret this cosmic philosophy, our expert jewelry specialists extrapolate characteristics in both the literal and figurative sense to find the most befitting representations of each of the Five Elements for this special curation.

\n\n

Metal

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 577: Van Cleef & Arpels - A Diamond 'Alhambra' Bracelet and Pendant Necklace; Lot 578: A Diamond Necklace; Lot 579: An Exceptional Diamond Ring

\n\n

True to its tangible form and characterizing its physical attributes, an exceptional diamond ring symbolizes Metal in the Five Elements collection. Echoing strength, shine, and brilliance, the diamond closely resembles its metallic partner. The reflective quality of Metal is pronounced in the refracted light and luster from the diamond facets, the clean pear shape curvature is suggestive of a sharp bladed sword, while the diamond and platinum represent the inherent solid and sculptural quality of Metal itself.

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 579: An Exceptional Diamond Ring, set with a 12.33 carat, D color, Internally FLawless, Type IIA, pear-shaped diamond.

\n\n

Wood

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 582: An Exceptional and Rare Emerald and Diamond Bracelet; Lot 581: A Jadeite, Emerald and Diamond Ring; Lot 580: Karen Suen - An Ebony Wood and Diamond 'Rose' Ring and Earring Suite

\n\n

Jewelry designer Karen Suen’s inspirational and exquisitely feminine designs are often anchored in nature. Breathing new life into fine jewels, she frequently weaves an unusual material into her craft — in this instance, ebony. Each petal is meticulously carved out and juxtaposed against shimmering diamonds to contrast with the warmth of timber. Wood signifies spring, the season of birth and new beginnings; just like Suen’s ring and earring set, which captures the full bloom of a rose. (Lot 580).

\n\n

\n
Wood is associated with gemstones that are green in color, including emerald and jadeite, which signify growth and flexibility.
\n

\n\n

Water

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 585: A Fine Sapphire and Diamond Ring; Lot 583: A Paraiba Tourmaline and Diamond Pendant Necklace; Lot 584: An Aquamarine and Diamond Brooch/Pendant, Circa 1950

\n\n

As the source of all life, Water is associated with change, emotions, and purification. Capturing the mannerism of Water in Five Elements, is a rare teardrop aquamarine imbued with the blue hues of the ocean which exudes a sense of calmness and serenity. Crowned at the tip of the stone are pear-shaped diamonds that mirror a cluster of icicles — the solid state of Water. When worn, the pendant dances with movement much like Water’s ability to flow. (Lot 584).

\n\n

\n
Water is associated with sapphire, tourmaline and aquamarine. The element that represents a person's wisdom, meaning they are articulate, clever and introspective.
\n

\n\n

Fire

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 588: An Exceptional Ruby and Diamond Ring; Lot 586: A Pair of Rubellite Tourmaline and Diamond Earrings; Lot 587: A Ruby and Diamond Bracelet

\n\n

Rubies and Rubellite Tourmalines hold the same warm, passionate and exciting attributes associated with the fire element. For just over a decade, Mozambique has become a rising star, producing some of the world’s finest rubies. This 8.08 carat unheated, oval-shaped 'Pigeon Blood' ruby flickers under the light with its fiery scintillation evocating the embers of a fire. Surrounded by a halo of diamonds, the intensity of the red in the ruby is further emphasized by the contrasting diamonds.

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 588: An Exceptional 8.08 Carat Mozambique No Heat Ruby and Diamond Ring

\n\n

Earth

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 590: A Pair of Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond and Diamond Earrings; Lot 589: A Fine Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond and Diamond Ring; Lot 591: Graff An Important Colored Diamond and Diamond Necklace

\n\n

The element of harvest — nurturing and abundant — Earth represents balance and ground. Mined from the Earth, yellow and white diamonds join together to create this mesmerizing five-strand necklace. Taking on the tones of sand and soil, the yellow and gold are offset with alternate white diamonds for a striking effect. With over 135 carats of mixed cut diamonds in total, this Graff necklace nods to the plentitude that the Earth element implies. The draping and fluidity of the necklace also reminds us of the curves and contours found in desert dunes, themselves a true testament to the sands of time.

亮相於「珍貴珠寶及翡翠」香港秋季拍賣的22.08克拉 D/VS1 Type IIa（極優切工、拋光及比例）「鑽石之泉」戒指，由著名珠寶設計師Feng J設計，靈感來自巴黎大大小小不同風格的噴泉。當 Feng J 第一次遇到這顆22克拉d色的圓形白鑽時，決心把它幻化成可佩戴的鑽石戒指，並配合95顆白鑽珠粒製造一圈圈交錯環繞的鑽石珠粒效果，彷彿是鑽石噴泉噴出的一個個優雅的圓弧形水柱。這枚戒指製作過程複雜，花上很長時間蒐集每一粒鑽石珠，設計師對其形狀、直徑和淨度的要求都非常高，從造型上看，「鑽石之泉」戒指是一件具當代雕塑感的藝術珠寶。

Lot 648 (Jewels & Jadeite Hong Kong Fall 2020): Feng J - A Unique Diamond 'Fountain of Diamonds' Ring. Estimate: HK$11,500,000 - 15,500,000.

\n\n

The highly unusual ‘Fountain of Diamonds’ ring illustrates the concept of a spring fountain. The inspiration dates back to Feng J’s time living in Paris when she was infatuated by the hundreds of fountains throughout the city and fascinated by the feminine Belle Époque sculptures and the history they represent. The curvature of the water is shown by 95 circular bubbling diamond beads, expressing the jets of water, all set by hand and culminating at the ring’s focal point where the 22.08 carat, D color, VS1 clarity diamond sits. The sourcing process for every single bead was extensive, with each diamond having to fit a precise size, shape and clarity specification to fully replicate the lively bubbling of a Parisian fountain. The Fountain of Diamonds ring is the essence of contemporary jewelry sculpture, with thoughtful inspirations behind a wearable work of art.

霍碧君佩戴：Alexander Laut緬甸天然彩色剛玉配鑽石耳環，拍品517 、Adler鑽石「馬蹄蓮」別針，拍品515 、百達翡麗18K白金方鑽腕錶拍品986、手鐲及戒指（霍碧君私人珍藏）。吳鈺殷佩戴：6.52克拉鑽石配蛋白石戒指，拍品612、Mikimoto天然粉紅色海螺珠配鑽石耳環，拍品530及天然粉紅色海螺珠配養殖珍珠及鑽石項鏈，拍品529，緬甸粉紅尖晶石配藍鋯石及鑽石戒指（購藏自富藝斯）。

\n\n

霍碧君博士是位身兼數職的女強人，她是翡翠島物業的創辦人和董事總經理，同時是企業家、慈善家、雜誌撰稿人，有時甚至兼任電台主持人。然而她最重要的身份，是一位母親。

\n\n

今天，她和女兒吳鈺殷（翡翠島物業總經理）在她們位於中環的豪華活動空間，一起分享她倆長久以來的收藏之路、承傳給下一代的傳家之寶，以及她們之間的親密關係。

\n\n

雖然兩人的舉止明顯不同，但關係卻非常緊密。霍碧君對鎂光燈並不陌生，在鏡頭前散發由衷自信；她喜歡鏡頭，而鏡頭也喜歡她。另一邊廂，吳鈺殷的內斂沉著底下，流露甜美端莊氣質。母女二人為我們擔任模特兒，展示一系列即將於珍貴珠寶及翡翠拍賣亮相的精選拍品。當兩位女士在整理要穿的服裝時，我們不禁注意到她們身上也有一些來自富藝斯以往拍賣的拍品。

\n\n

\n\n

霍碧君佩戴：哥倫比亞祖母綠配彩色鑽石手鐲（拍品622）、天然翡翠配鑽石「花」戒指（此前購藏自富藝斯）及其他珠寶（霍碧君私人珍藏）。吳鈺殷佩戴：5.61克拉緬甸天然藍寶石配鑽石戒指（拍品618）、愛彼鑽石腕錶（此前購藏自富藝斯）及鑽石戒指（吳鈺殷私人珍藏）。

\n\n

在螢光幕前，母親通常是主導；然而當涉及到珠寶時，畫面卻出現了變化。吳鈺殷已成為獨當一面的寶石專家，她擁有自己的專門工具用來檢查珠寶。霍碧君承認自己的視力已經大不如前，在這點上她依靠吳鈺殷，並聲稱女兒比她更了解自己的風格。的而且確，我們見證了這一點，因為吳鈺殷已經為這次的拍攝挑選了幾件珠寶，並暗示希望在本月底的現場拍賣上為母親投得這些拍品。

\n\n

「其實我們現在坐著的位置，正是我們平時參與競投的地方！」身處翡翠島物業的休息室，霍碧君熱衷在這裡主持聚會，匯聚友好舉行活動，以及進行電話競投。就連今天，她的知己王蔚雯也現身於此，為好友的這場拍攝表示支持，並順道一睹秋季拍賣的拍品風采。

\n\n

「收藏是我的愛好之一。當我可以跟朋友和女兒分享這些藏品時，當中的意義就更大。我們喜歡待在一起，並一起參與競投。」霍碧君一邊欣賞珠寶一邊說。

\n\n

霍碧君對Alexander Laut緬甸天然彩色剛玉配鑽石耳環 ( 拍品517）猶豫不決，手卻已經放在一枚6.52克拉鑽石配蛋白石戒指（拍品612）之上；鑽石的火彩配上蛋白石不規則結構以及粉紅色光澤，實屬難得珍品。吳鈺殷難掩興奮之情，向母親展示這枚珠寶，兩人輪流試戴。

\n\n

\n
大多數人認為高級珠寶須有傳統風格。
\n我喜歡這枚戒指，因為它既優雅又現代。
\n簡約設計讓它充滿現代感，採用蛋白石則為簡約款式帶來有趣變化。
\n- 吳鈺殷
\n

\n\n

母女倆的相同之處不僅僅是良好的遺傳基因，當被問及二人還有什麼共同的興趣愛好時，霍碧君和吳鈺殷異口同聲回答：我們的哲學。母女二人都是香港國際創價學會的成員，修習《南無妙法蓮華經》。「我們把佛教哲學應用在日常生活中。」吳鈺殷解釋。

\n\n

\n\n

霍碧君佩戴：Alexander Laut緬甸天然彩色剛玉配鑽石耳環一對, 剛玉共重約14.43克拉（拍品517）、 6.52克拉Q-R/VS1鑽石配蛋白石戒指（拍品612）、勞力士型號11659912SA 腕錶 (拍品 828）。

\n\n

「對我來說，這種哲學意味著要努力成為最好的自己。」霍碧君正是她口中所說的這種正能量的大力倡議者。她補充：「這也是我想傳給鈺殷的。我希望給她最好的，所以很難不保護她。不過這麼多年來，我已經學會了她要自己做決定，儘管有時候我們會犯錯。我只是希望她能重新站起來，並從中汲取教訓。」

\n\n

「我從母親那裡繼承了這種態度，對此我非常感激。」吳鈺殷說。「母親教會了我很多事情，如何做一個好人、如何分辨是非、如何超越逆境。現在我追隨她的腳步，也在向她學習如何做生意；她是我擁有強大工作能力的原因。沒有什麼是必然的，我需要為一切努力，包括自己的幸福。」

\n\n

說到價值觀的傳承，我們也趁機問及關於價值非凡的珍品傳承。在我們眼前的是為數不少的一系列令人神往的收藏品，這很大程度上要歸功於吳鈺殷的慧眼獨具，她的珠寶收藏令人印象深刻。

\n\n

就像吳鈺殷喜歡為母親挑選東西一樣，霍碧君也喜歡為女兒挑選適合她的年輕款式。乍看之下，Mikimoto天然粉紅色海螺珠配養殖珍珠及鑽石項鏈（拍品529）並沒有於展示盤上的眾多珠寶中特別顯眼，然而當吳鈺殷試戴後，母女倆都一致認為這條項鏈脫穎而出。「當你戴上它時，它就會變得與眾不同。」吳鈺殷說。「我喜歡它在頸項上位置剛好的完美模樣，僅僅略高於鎖骨之上。」

\n\n

「以如此時尚的方式呈現養殖珍珠，實在令人耳目一新。粉紅色海螺珠和鑽石構組成美麗圖案，對於像吳鈺殷這個年紀的佩戴者來說，這款式不會顯得過份誇張。」霍碧君將項鏈放在女兒的頸項上時，如此補充說。不得不提醒她們的是，這條項鏈還配有成套的天然粉紅色海螺珠配鑽石耳環（拍品530），可以說這些拍品已被順利列入她們的競投名單。

\n\n

\n\n

霍碧君佩戴：10.92克拉「緬甸」紅色尖晶石配鑽石戒指（拍品547）、法穆蘭腕錶、紅寶石配鑽石耳環及紅寶石手鐲（霍碧君私人珍藏）。吳鈺殷佩戴：天然紫色翡翠配鑽石戒指（拍品540）、愛彼18K白金鑽石配藍寶石腕錶（此前購藏自富藝斯）及鑽石配珍珠耳環（吳鈺殷私人珍藏）。

\n\n

在我眼前讓人目眩神馳的珠寶當中，我很好奇有沒有哪幾件是她們份外鍾愛的，以及當中原因。即將成為新娘的吳鈺殷自豪地展示了她的訂婚戒指：「他挑選了這顆鑽石，並跟珠寶師一起設計了這枚戒指。我事前完全不知道他計劃在我們的菲律賓愛妮島之旅向我求婚。」

\n\n

「我們都為她感到十分興奮，目前正在到處為她選購新娘首飾，這是我們生命中有趣和值得紀念的時刻。」霍碧君補充。

\n\n

有一枚腕錶，在母親心中擁有特別地位；對她來說，最重要的珠寶首飾，未必是最昂貴的。「那其實是一枚伯爵鑽石腕錶，是我幾年前在富藝斯買的。我的朋友鼓勵我把它投回來，我想他們現在很後悔，多希望買下它的是他們自己。我很幸運能夠投得這枚腕錶，我很喜歡它。」

\n\n

然而，感性的霍碧君向我們講述了有關勞力士金錶的故事：「當我有了第一個孩子Brian時，他的父親送了這枚手錶給我。」她開始說。「它是無可取替的，因為它標誌著我們所有人生命被改變的一刻。」

\n\n

受到也曾於富藝斯購藏拍品的朋友啟發，霍碧君為未來的特別日子事先蒐羅了一些珍品。「我用瑰麗珠寶紀念我們生命中的特別時刻，有時也會購藏一些我知道適合用作慶祝未來里程碑的東西。我可以預視這枚緬甸天然藍寶石配鑽石戒指（拍品618）將會有一天用作紀念難忘時刻。」霍碧君解釋。作為一位宣言珠寶的愛戴者，她絕對能出色地演繹這些大型珠寶。

\n\n

\n
這顆重達5.61克拉的緬甸藍寶石在重量和淨度上都非常出眾，證書上亦表明其未經加熱處理。
\n- 霍碧君博士
\n

\n\n

有其母必有其女，就如從樹上掉下來的蘋果不會離樹幹太遠。仔細觀察，在吳鈺殷身上可以看到很多霍碧君的影子，她們關係親密，這點毋庸置疑。在母親的教導下，吳鈺殷被磨練出房地產大亨的技能，這位新晉的專業人士對母親有著無比的敬仰。「母親是我工作上的老闆，我每天都會見到她。她也是我最好的朋友。」

\n\n

「能夠和鈺殷一起工作，感覺非常特別。我總是鼓勵她以自己的方式處事，因為這才是最終定義她自己的東西。」霍碧君說。

\n\n

珍貴的珠寶和名錶外，還有很多超越物質的事物，而吳鈺殷證明了這一點。「我們擁有的所有非凡珍品都是一種祝福，我期望有一天能把它們傳給我的孩子。然而最重要的是，我希望我母親的樂觀精神、慷慨美德和體貼善心能夠傳給下一代。」

\n\n

Dr. Theresa Fok is a woman who wears several hats. She’s the Founder and Managing Director of Jade Land Properties, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, a magazine contributor, and even an occasional radio host. But above all, she’s a mother.

\n\n

Today, she is joined by her daughter, Charlene Ng (who also happens to be the General Manager of Jade Land) at their lush event space in Central to share her lifelong journey of collecting, heirlooms to pass on to the next generation, and their loving relationship.

\n\n

It’s crystal clear that the pair are extremely close despite their differences in demeanor. No stranger to the spotlight, Theresa exudes a natural confidence in front of the lens. She loves the camera, and the camera loves her back. Meanwhile, Charlene's sweet demure shines through her calm composure. The mother-daughter duo model some of the key lots from our upcoming Jewels & Jadeite Auction. As the ladies sort through the pieces to wear, we can’t help but notice some of our past lots in their possession too.

Worn by Charlene: A Sapphire, Diamond and Colored Diamond Ring (Lot 618), Audemars Piguet Diamond Wristwatch (previously acquired at Phillips), diamond ring (Charlene's own).

\n\n

Mum takes the lead when it comes to being on screen. But when it comes to jewels, there is a plot twist. Charlene has grown to become quite the gem expert and is armed with her very own gem kit that she uses to inspect the jewels. As Theresa admits her eyesight isn’t what it used to be, she relies on Charlene who she claims knows her style more than she does herself. True to form, we witness this as Charlene has already eyed a few pieces that she’s selected for the shoot and hints she hopes to win them for her mum at the live auction later this month.

\n\n

“Actually, we are sitting in the exact spot where we usually bid!” Using Jade Land’s lounge space, Theresa delights in hosting gatherings and bringing people together for such events and bids over the phone. Even today, her confidante, Freda Wong is here to support her friend’s photo shoot and take a peek at the Fall auction lots.

\n\n

“Collecting is a hobby of mine. It means so much more when I can share this with my friends and daughter too. We enjoy being together and bidding together,” Theresa remarks as she admires the jewels.

\n\n

Charlene hesitates over the Alexander Laut Colored Sapphire and Diamond Earrings (Lot 517), but instead rests her hand on the 6.52-carat Diamond and Opal Ring (Lot 612). The fire of the diamond paired with the irregular structure of the crystal and pinkish luster is rare to come by. Charlene's excitement can barely be concealed as she shows her mum and they both take turns trying it on.

\n\n

\n
Most people think that fine jewelry has to be traditional. I love this ring because it's elegant yet contemporary. Its simplicity makes it modern, and the use of opal is a fun twist to a minimalistic design. - Charlene Ng
\n

\n\n

Sharing more than just good genes, when asked about what other common interests the two have, Theresa and Charlene answer in unison – our philosophy. Mother and daughter are members of the Soka Gakkai International of Hong Kong and both practice the teachings of the Lotus Sutra. “We apply our Buddhist philosophy in everyday life,” Charlene explains.

\n\n

\n\n

Worn by Theresa: Alexander Laut A Pair of Colored Sapphire and Diamond Earrings (Lot 517), A Diamond and Opal Ring (Lot 612), Rolex Ref. 11659912SA (Lot 828).

\n\n

“To me, that means striving to be the best versions of ourselves.” A strong advocate of this sunny energy that she describes it, Theresa adds “this is what I want to pass on to Charlene. I want the best for her, so it’s hard not to be protective. Over the years, I’ve learned that she’s going to make her own decisions and sometimes we will make mistakes. It is just my hope for her to get back up and learn from them.”

\n\n

“I’ve inherited this attitude from my mum, which I’m so grateful for,” says Charlene. “Mum’s taught me so much – how to be a good person, differentiate right from wrong and to rise above adversities. Now that I’m following in her footsteps, I'm learning how to do business from her too. She's the reason for my strong work ethic. Nothing is a given, and I need to work hard for everything, including my own happiness."

\n\n

Speaking of passing on values, we took the chance to ask about the valuables too. Before us is a sizable collection of mesmerizing pieces, thanks in no small part to Charlene’s sharp eye for impressive jewels.

\n\n

Just as Charlene enjoys picking out things for Mum, Theresa likes to spot younger styles that are appropriate for her daughter. At first glance, the Mikimoto Conch Pearl, Cultured Pearl and Diamond Necklace (Lot 529) didn't make it off the presentation tray but as soon as Charlene tried it on, it quickly became apparent that both mother and daughter agree that the necklace is a winner. "It makes all the difference when you physically wear it," says Charlene. "I like the way it rests perfectly on the neck, just slightly above the collar bone."

\n\n

"It's refreshing to see cultured pearls used in such a stylish way. The pink conch pearl and the diamonds make for a beautiful motif that isn't too over the top for someone of Charlene's age," Theresa adds as she centers it on her daughter's neck. They are reminded that the necklace comes with matching conch pearl and diamond cluster earrings (Lot 530), and it's safe to say that these items have made their way onto their bidding list.

\n\n

\n\n

Worn by Theresa: A Fine Red Spinel and Diamond Ring (Lot 547), Franck Muller watch, ruby and diamond earrings and ruby bracelet (Theresa's own). Worn by Charlene: A Lavender Jadeite and Diamond Ring (Lot 540), Audemars Piguet Diamond, Sapphire and Gold Wristwatch (previously acquired at Phillips), Diamond and pearl earrings (Charlene's own).

\n\n

Of all the fantastical jewels in front of me, I am curious if any piece(s) are dearest to them and why. A no brainer for the soon-to-be-bride, Charlene who proudly presents her engagement ring, “he chose this diamond and even designed the band with a jeweler. I had no idea he was going to propose to me on our trip to El Nido in the Philippines.”

\n\n

“We are all so excited for her. We are currently shopping around for her bridal jewelry and it’s such a fun and memorable moment in our lives,” Theresa adds.

\n\n

For Mum, she’s got a special timepiece in mind. To her, the most important jewels may not be the most expensive. “Actually, that's a Piaget diamond watch that I bought at Phillips a couple of years ago. My friends encouraged me to bid for it and I think they now regret it - now they wish they had bought it for themselves. I was lucky to win it. I love it.”

\n\n

However, the sentimental Theresa tells us the story of her gold Rolex. “When I had my first child, Brian, his father gifted me this watch,” she begins. “It’s irreplaceable because it marks such a lifechanging moment in all our lives.”

\n\n

Taking a cue from her friend who has also previously bought from Phillips, Theresa has collected things for the special moments that are yet to come. "I commemorate special events in our lives with precious jewels and sometimes acquire things that I know will celebrate future landmark occasions. I could see this Sapphire and Diamond Ring (Lot 618) marking something memorable one day," explains Theresa. A fan of statement pieces, Theresa definitely shows off the chunky jewels very well.

\n\n

\n
This 5.61-carat Burmese sapphire is spectacular for its size and clarity considering the certificates show no indications of heating. - Dr. Theresa Fok
\n

\n\n

The apple evidently doesn’t fall far from the tree. Upon closer inspection, a lot of Theresa can be seen in Charlene, their relationship is undeniably strong. Honing her skills as a real estate magnate under her mother’s tutelage, the budding professional has an immense undying appreciation for her mother. “Mum is my boss at work, and I see her every day. She’s also my best friend.”

\n\n

“It’s very special to be able to work with Charlene. I always encourage her to make things her own because that is what will ultimately define her,” says Theresa.

\n\n

Apart from the precious jewels and timepieces, there’s so much more beyond the material things as Charlene attests. “All of the precious things we own are a blessing. I wish to pass them on to my children one day. But, most importantly, I want my mother’s joyous spirit, generous virtue and thoughtfulness for the next generation.”

瑞士寶石研究所（SSEF）董事 ─ 麥可. 欽尼斯基(Michael S. Krzemnicki)

\n\n

PHILLIPS: 珍珠已經存在數百年，如今受到收藏家的極力追捧，您能告訴我們珍珠的價值所在嗎？

\n\n

MICHAEL KRZEMNICKI (MK): 自遠古以來，珍珠不僅因其顯著之美而受到人們的崇敬，在東西方文化中珍珠更經常與神秘信仰和力量聯繫在一起。因此，無論是重要的皇室收藏或現代創作，珍珠都因其美感、稀有性和歷史背景一直吸引著珠寶設計師和收藏家們的青睞。

\n\n

P: 市場上許多不同類型的珍珠，您能告訴我們它們之間的區別嗎？

\n\n

MK: .兩大主要種類為天然珍珠和養殖珍珠，分別可在生長於淡水或海水的軟體動物中發現。兩者形成方式不同，因此產生不同的內部結構：天然珍珠稀有罕見，在沒有任何人為影響下於野生牡蠣中偶然形成，而養殖珍珠在珍珠養殖場生產，是由人類注入少量真珠質核而製成的，並且可以選擇在其中包含一顆殼珠。

\n\n

\n\n

拍品 539: 天然海水珍珠配鑽石項鏈，估價160,000 - 240,000港元。

\n\n

P: 天然珍珠都是在偶然條件下形成的，可否詳述它們的稀罕性？

\n\n

MK: 優質的天然珍珠非常罕見，尤其是與珍珠養殖場中大量生產的養殖珍珠相比。天然珍珠是在沒有任何人為干預的情況下偶然形成的，需要特定的形成條件才能達到一定的尺寸並具備極好的光澤。

\n\n

P: 我們如何辨別天然珍珠和養殖珍珠？

\n\n

MK: 基於形成方式有異，天然珍珠和養殖珍珠的內部結構也不同。如果沒有先進的鑑定技術，通常難以區分兩者。鑑定方法包括使用X光攝影和顯微成像這兩種非侵入性技術，有助於視像化和分離珍珠的內部特徵與結構。

\n\n

P: 當今的珍珠市場面臨哪些主要挑戰？

\n\n

MK: 如今珍珠市場上主要以養殖珍珠為主，面臨生產過剩、價格不穩定以及全球氣候變化等問題。而天然珍珠是一個小眾市場，供應非常有限。當務之急是提高大家對天然珍珠天成之美及其稀有性與歷史背景的認識，尤其是對下一代收藏家而言。

\n\n

P: 對於有意在拍賣會上購買珍珠的藏家，您有什麼建議可以分享？

\n\n

MK: 我認為最重要是根據個人喜好選擇珍珠，可以是根據其形狀、顏色、光澤、鑲嵌方式或來源。另一關鍵之處是您購買的珍珠必須附有國際知名寶石學實驗室的報告。

Lot 643 (Jewels & Jadeite Hong Kong Fall 2020): A Fine Natural Pearl, Emerald and Diamond Necklace. Estimate: HK$2,200,000 - 3,200,000.

\n\n

When it comes to grading precious stones and gems, Dr Michael S. Krzemnicki is the person to know. One of the most recognized published writers and speakers in the world of gems, with over two decades of experience at SSEF – Swiss Gemmological Institute – the world's leading testing laboratory for colored gemstones, diamonds and pearls, and as a lecturer at the University of Basel, Dr Krzemnicki is a highly reputable gem expert.

\n\n

We took a moment to catch up with the expert to learn about pearls – their cultural and historical significance, their increasing scarcity and the value they hold.

\n\n

\n\n

Dr. Michael Krzemnicki, Director of Swiss Gemmological Institute SSEF

\n\n

PHILLIPS (P): Pearls have been around for centuries and are highly sought after by collectors today. Can you tell us where their value lies?

\n\n

MICHAEL KRZEMNICKI (MK): Since ancient times, pearls have been revered for their obvious beauty, but also because of they have long been associated with mythical beliefs and powers in cultures from the East to the West. Consequently, pearls are found in important royal collections as well as in recent creations because they continue to fascinate jewelry designers and collectors for their beauty, rarity and the historical context they offer.

\n\n

P: We see many different types of pearls on the market. Can you tell us a little about their differences?

\n\n

MK: The two main types of pearls are natural pearls and cultured pearls. Pearls can be found in freshwater or saltwater molluscs. They differ in the way they are formed and consequently in their internal structures: natural pearls are rare and form accidentally in a wild oyster in the absence of any human interference, whereas cultured pearls are produced in pearl farms and are created by humans inserting a small tissue implant to trigger their formation, and may optionally contain a shell bead inside.

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 539: A Natural Pearl and Diamond Necklace. Estimate: HK$160,000 - 240,000

\n\n

P: Since natural pearls are formed by chance, how rare are they?

\n\n

MK: Natural pearls of fine quality are exceptionally rare, especially when compared to cultured pearls which are produced in pearl farms in rather large quantities. Natural pearls form accidentally, without any human intervention and require specific formation conditions to reach a certain size with very fine luster.

\n\n

P: How would one tell the difference between a natural and cultured pearl?

\n\n

MK: Natural and cultured pearls differ in the way they are formed and consequently in their internal structures. It is usually not possible to distinguish natural pearls from cultured pearls without advanced testing methods. These include x‐ray radiography and microtomography – both absolutely non‐invasive methods to visualize and separate the internal characteristics and structures of pearls.

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 529: Mikimoto - A Conch Pearl, Cultured Pearl and Diamond Necklace. Estimate: HK$250,000 - 350,000

\n\n

P: What are the major challenges facing the pearl market today?

\n\n

MK: Today, the pearl market is mainly dominated by cultured pearls, which face challenges such as overproduction, price instability, and on a global level climate change.
\nThe natural pearl trade is a niche market and is very limited in supply. It’s imperative to raise awareness about the beautiful individuality of natural pearls, their rarity and their historical context, specifically to the next generation of collectors.

\n\n

P: What advice can you share with potential collectors who are looking to buy at auction?

\n\n

MK: In my opinion, by far the most important factor is to choose a pearl based on personal preferences – be it shape, color, luster, the way it is set in jewelry or provenance. It is also vital that any pearl you buy is accompanied by a report from an international reputed gemological laboratory.
