Over 105 Lots Feature Gold Jewelry with Precious Stones, Diverse Coins & More

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA, December 7, 2023 – Turner Auctions + Appraisals is pleased to present Estate Jewelry & Gold Coins on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 10:30 am PST. Featuring over 105 lots from several estates, these items are ideal for holiday jewelry gift-giving to others (or to treat oneself!) or perhaps for long-term investment, in the case of gold coins.

Jewelry offerings include necklaces, rings, bracelets, pendants, brooches, and earrings. Most are 14k, 18k or white gold, blackened silver, or platinum; most are set with gemstones such as diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, amethyst, pearl, tourmaline, garnet, opal, turquoise, moonstone, and/or lapis lazuli. Some pieces are antique or vintage. Among the other jewelry items are micro-mosaic brooch-pendants; lava cameos and earrings; unstrung chrysoprase beads; unmounted gemstones; several suites; and groupings of antique, vintage, or costume jewelry. For men are several pairs of gold cufflinks, watch fob chains, and an antique cigar cutter fob. Jewelry highlights include a 5.3 carat diamond and platinum ring, a gold-coin charm bracelet, and an emerald and diamond ring.

The diverse array of gold coins – many from the 19th or early 20th centuries – includes items from the U.S., France, Mexico, and South Africa. Among the highlights are a U.S. 1904 Gold Double Eagle Liberty Head $20 coin; three South Africa Krugerrands; and a Mexico 50 peso gold coin, Winged Victory/Eagle Dated 1821-1947. There are also several gold or silver ingots, one lot of ancient bronze coins, and a 1934 Federal Reserve $1,000 note. Completing the sale are a Lalique ornament and three bags, from Cartier, Versace, and Coach.
