\n\n

What is a Priority Bid?

\n\n

Priority Bids are written, binding bids that must be placed no less than 48 hours in advance of an auction’s start time. The bid must be equal to or greater than the lot’s published low estimate and placed using Phillips’ absentee bid forms.

\n\n

Bidders who have placed Priority Bids ahead of the auction, if they are the winning bidder and satisfy the other conditions of Priority Bidding, will benefit from a Buyer’s Premium rate which is significantly lower than the Buyer’s Premium rate otherwise. This benefit applies whether their winning bid is at the amount of their early Priority Bid or a higher bid placed subsequently by them bidding live in the auction.

\n\n

The new Buyer’s Premium structure featuring Priority Bidding rates is effective from 1 September 2025 and applies to all live auctions in the Fall 2025 season and for all categories, excluding Watches.

\n\n

Watch auctions (both live and timed online auctions) will continue using the same Buyer’s Premium rates that applied in the spring 2025 sale season and will not be eligible for Priority Bidding. Details of these rates can be found here.

\n\n

Timed online-only auctions will be subject to the new standard Buyer’s Premium rates and are not currently eligible for Priority Bidding. You can find details of these rates here.

\n\n

How do I place a Priority Bid?

\n\n

To be eligible for a lower Buyer’s Premium through the scheme, you must leave a written bid at least 48 hours before the auction. The bid must be a written absentee bid.

\n\n

Submitting Priority Bids is simple:

\n\n

• Complete Phillips’ Absentee Bid Form with details of the Absentee Bid(s) you want to submit. You can download and complete the Bid Form here.

\n\n

• Ensure your written absentee Bids are at or above the published low estimate of the Lots you are bidding on.

\n\n

• Sign and send the form to Phillips’ Bids Department in the auction location before the 48-hour pre-auction cut-off. Forms can be emailed using the contact details found below.

\n\n

Please note that Priority Bids cannot be cancelled.

","Zips, Blooms, and Botanical Bliss: The Allure of Van Cleef & Arpels","

Lot 399: Van Cleef & Arpels, Coral, chrysoprase and diamond necklace/bracelet combination, 'Zip', 2012. Estimates: CHF260,000–480,000 / US$320,000–600,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

A flutter of butterflies, pirouetting ballerinas, and clover-like ‘Alhambra’ motifs. Icons so permanently etched into the visual lexicon of jewellery and style that we see them everywhere from our local supermarket to the red carpet, Major League Baseball dugouts and beyond. And we always know exactly what we’re seeing, as the charm of these designs can only be described with four words, two names: Van Cleef & Arpels.

\n\n

But even when stepping outside these most identifiable design hallmarks, there remains a charming effervescence that bubbles up even in their most avant-garde creations. Take the ‘Zip’ necklace, first created in 1950, which remains one of the house’s most groundbreaking designs. It demonstrates a core tenet of the maison’s personality — that as seriously as Van Cleef & Arpels takes their craft, they’ve never shied away from having a bit of fun.

\n\n

\n\n

Inspired by the growing presence of zippers in haute couture during the late 1930s, the idea was first developed under the direction of Renée Puissant, daughter of Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef. Adding to the design’s allure, it is widely believed to have first been suggested by Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, a style icon and important patron of fine jewellery.

\n\n

Seamlessly merging high jewellery with mechanical ingenuity, it transforms an everyday object into a work of exceptional artistry. Both visually striking and technically complex, the piece quickly established itself as an enduring icon of the maison.

\n\n

This ‘Zip’ necklace is sure to be a highlight of any collection, decorated with carved chrysoprase, diamonds and coral. It can be worn as a bracelet with the included fitting, and is also accompanied by two fitted cases, a pouch stamped with the Van Cleef & Arpels logo, a Van Cleef & Arpels certificate of authenticity, and the original invoice. A collector’s dream.

\n\n

Garden of earthly delight

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 398: Van Cleef & Arpels, Sapphire, coloured sapphire, garnet and diamond necklace, 'Les Jardins', circa 2010. Estimates: CHF95,000–190,000 / US$120,000–240,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

If the house’s ‘Alhambra’ is a single lucky leaf, ‘Les Jardins’ is the grounds of the entire sprawling estate. First launched in 2006 to celebrate Van Cleef & Arpels’ centenary, the ‘Les Jardins’ collection showcases the maison’s penchant for whimsy and beauty in equal measure. And this 2010 example is particularly enchanting. The line of sapphires delicately transitions into purple, serving as a home for the citrus-hued garnets, which are accented with diamond leaves that catch the light like the golden-hour sun.

Magical mystery masterpiece

\n\n

\n\n

391: Van Cleef & Arpels, Pair of ruby and diamond earrings. Estimates: CHF70,000–95,000 / $80,000–120,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

A house as creative as Van Cleef & Arpels understands that sometimes, poetry is the art of deletion. So it was in the early 1930s that they set out to develop a method for setting gemstones into hidden grooves, resulting in completely flush settings without visible prongs. The mystery setting was born, and with it, a platform for design ingenuity that the house still explores today.

\n\n

Take this pair of ruby and diamond earrings, which strike the eye like a delectable pair of berries hanging from the ears. These drop-shaped pendants are mystery-set with calibré-cut rubies, topped with diamond hulls and suspended from floral-designed surmounts, each accented with larger circular-cut rubies. They pair perfectly with the matching domed ring, also mystery-set with calibré-cut rubies in a honeycomb pattern. Tart as a berry, sweet as honey, it’s truly the wearer who brings this course to life.

\n\n

The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI offers even more iconic designs from some of the most lauded jewellery houses. From Cartier’s ‘Panthère’ to Boucheron’s parure, Sterlé’s charming avian brooch and more, there’s something for all tastes and interests.

Lot 389: Sapphire and diamond ring. Burmese sapphire weighing 19.93 carats, no heat. Estimates: CHFCHF320,000–480,000 / US$$395,000–600,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

A sapphire above all the others

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 389: Sapphire and diamond ring. Burmese sapphire weighing 19.93 carats, no heat. Estimates: CHF320,000–480,000 / US$395,000–600,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

To gaze into the depths of this astonishing 19.93 carat Burmese sapphire is to feel the fathoms of the ocean, the power of nature, and the delicacy of beauty. Accompanied by an SSEF report attesting to the stone’s coveted origin and lack of heat enhancement, the light dances across its surface with the poise of a prima ballerina, accentuating its remarkable scale. Leading this season’s assortment of extraordinary gemstones, this sapphire’s abyss is as everlasting and layered as the rhythm of the tides.

\n\n

Ceylon plunge

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 390: Pair of sapphire and diamond earrings. Ceylon sapphires weighing 12.31 and 12.69 carats, no heat. Estimates: CHF175,000–190,000 / US$185,000–240,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

Hanging from the ears in a sea of blue radiance, there’s perhaps no better adornment to make an elegant statement than these sapphire and diamond earrings. Weighing 12.31 and 12.69 carats respectively, and accompanied by an AGL report, these Ceylon sapphires are simply charming, accented as they are by almost floral settings of marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds. Turn the lights off, and they’re still glowing in spirit.

\n\n

Ruby and diamond: Fire and ice

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 388: Ruby and diamond necklace. Burmese rubies, no heat. Estimates: CHF240,000–400,000 / US$300,000–500,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

Supremely elegant and poised in its graduated design, the fire and passion of Burmese rubies meet the delicate sparkle of diamonds in this exceptional necklace. These eye-catching rubies are accompanied by a Gũbelin report stating that the eight tested stones are of Burmese origin with no indications of heating. Adorning the neck, one feels the full warmth of their power, passion, and providence. After all, why settle for one ruby when you could have 40?

\n\n

Pure emerald, pure aura

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 395: Emerald ring. Colombian emerald weighing 14.69 carats, no clarity modification. Estimates: CHF220,000–275,000 / US$280,000–350,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

The kids these days can’t seem to stop speaking about aura, and looking at this incredible Colombian emerald, we realize they might be onto something. Such is the allure of this piece that, beyond its appearance to the eye, its power is felt in the gut. Its accompanying SSEF report attests to its Colombian origin and lack of clarity enhancement, but there’s more ethereal depth in this 14.69-carat stone’s never-ending verdant sea than can be captured by scientific analysis alone. Gazing into its virescent depths, we are confronted by the void of the unknown; yet, resting upon the finger, this stone welcomes us into nature’s majesty with open arms.

\n\n

M. Gérard: Pretty in pink

\n\n

\n\n

Lot 352: M. Gérard, Pair of pink sapphire and diamond ear clips. Burmese pink sapphires weighing 4.08 carats and 5.05 carats, no heat. Estimates: CHF90,000–120,000 / US$110,000–150,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

Like blooming flowers, the striking hue of these two extraordinary Burmese pink sapphires centers the foliate-designed ear clips by M. Gérard. A nod to nature’s perfection both in design and substance, there's something unmistakably charismatic about these pieces — the vivid glow of the pink sapphires, accompanied by an SSEF report affirming their origin and lack of temperature enhancement, simply grabs the eye and embraces it.

Lot 359: Paraiba tourmaline and diamond ring/pendant combination. Paraiba tourmaline weighing 14.15 carats, natural, no heat. Estimates: CHF60,000–80,000 / US$70,000–100,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

Getting lost in the electrifying neon hues of this Parabia tourmaline, it’s easy to see why the gemstone ranks among the most sought-after by collectors today. But this example is particularly compelling — the 14.15-carat stone is accompanied by a Gübelin report attesting to its natural origin. Its setting is also extraordinary, tastefully surrounded by brilliant and rose-cut diamonds and wearable either as a ring or a pendant.

Lot 306: Gold, diamond and enamel snuff box, 19th century. Estimates: CHF20,000–24,000 / US$25,000–30,000. The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI.

\n\n

As we celebrate Phillips’ 230th anniversary, it is an opportunity to pause and reflect on how extraordinary and unexpected the journey from 1796 to now has been. The story of Phillips unfolds alongside revolutions, inventions, artistic movements, royal courts, and sweeping global change. It began with a 30-year-old entrepreneur who set out on his own with no staff, no permanent premises, and guided by the same innovative spirit that continues to shape Phillips today.

\n\n

Phillips was founded in 1796 in Westminster, London, by Harry Phillips, a former senior clerk at a well-established London auction house, who set out to found his own business. In his first year, Phillips conducted 12 auctions in 12 distinct locations, walking across London to whichever venue he could secure, with catalogues bound in marbled paper at Seven Dials. He soon gained a reputation as an innovator who combined business acumen with a flair for showmanship, introducing opulent evening receptions ahead of auctions.

\n\n

Harry Phillips gained international recognition for handling prestigious sales, including those of Marie Antoinette’s art collection in 1798, Queen Caroline’s belongings in 1822, as well as household items belonging to Napoleon following his death on St. Helena. Phillips remains the only auction house ever to have held a sale inside Buckingham Palace, in 1836.

Collections & Provenance

\n\n

\n\n

Lots 301 to 307 have been assembled over several decades by a private collector with a deep fascination for Ludwig II of Bavaria, reflecting an enduring admiration for the king.

\n\n

To mark more than two centuries of extraordinary sales, relationships, discoveries, and heritage, this May, as part of The Geneva Jewels Auction: VI, we are delighted to announce the launch of a new section dedicated to jewels of important provenance.

\n\n

\n\n

‘Collections and Provenance’ builds upon our longstanding tradition of offering remarkable collections, today encompassing sales of exceptional jewellery from Noble European families as well as from the collections of Gladys Moore Vanderbilt, Countess Széchenyi, Princess Salimah Aga Khan, the Kings of Bavaria and King Louis-Philippe of France.

\n\n

\n\n

This new section embraces the spirit of tradition and curiosity that defines Phillips and looks ahead to presenting further jewels of distinguished provenance in the seasons to come.

\n\n

\n\n

Lots 310, 311, 312, and 313 once formed part of the opulent interior of the Vanderbilts’ Breakers Estate.
