Take a Tour at Sotheby’s to Preview It’s Upcoming Jewelry Auction
Arrangements can be made for tours of the preview for the upcoming jewelry auction in New York City in December.
While intimidating to some, jewelry auctions offer the opportunity to admire, study and collect jewelry and gems that can be surprisingly reasonable up to quite opulent.
Anyone can participate as a bidder or consigner, and bidding can be done live in the Salesroom or even in the comfort of your home.
