NEW YORK, NY -- Jewelry auctioned at Doyle has seen outstanding results throughout the season! The strong performance of Doyle’s jewelry sales highlights the continued strength of the jewelry market, driven in part by ever-growing competition from private collectors at all levels of value.

Property from the Collection of a Distinguished Southern Industrialist, the sapphire displayed the classic velvety blue color that makes Kashmir sapphires the most desirable among sapphires, and at 10.37 carats, it was unusually large for a Kashmir sapphire, which originate from the Kashmir mines of northen India and Pakistan.
