At Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels Auction in Geneva a Pejmani ring proved to be the top seller. The exquisite piece with an 8.02ct Fancy Pink pear-shaped diamond was sold for $1.32 million.

Pejmani is a relatively new player in high-end jewellery. According to the spokesman of the Belgium-based company, Pejmani jewels acquire their uniqueness by the exceptional creation process; the entire design and manufacturing of the jewels is done in-house. Another singularity is the fact that Pejmani designers are not dependent on the supply of the diamond market, as all diamonds are polished by the company itself.

A green cap worn by Australian batsman Don Bradman is expected to fetch more than $1 million at an auction of cricket memorabilia later this month. It will go under the hammer in Melbourne along with a host of cricket treasures on December 15.

The cap will be sold with a letter written by Bradman himself, confirming its authenticity.

It reads: “This memo is to certify that on his twelfth birthday I gave Richard Robins one of my Aust XI caps. If he decides to sell it the auctioneers are hereby assured it is genuine”.

“The most prized possession of any collector of cricket memorabilia is a baggy green,” auctioneer Charles Leski said.

“A Bradman cap, particularly this one, eclipses all others.”

The cap has a pre-sale estimated value of $750,000, but early interest should see it sell for more than $1 million, he said.
