Tell us about this sale

December's Jewellery auction marks a fantastic finale to the department's calendar, featuring over 700 lots to be sold over two days. Whether you are looking to treat yourself or someone else, there is an array of jewellery on offer for everyone, with estimates ranging from over £30,000 to under £200.

Pick a favourite lot in this sale
This is not an easy task, given the range of unique and stunningly beautiful pieces. The magnificent ten carat heart shaped diamond solitaire ring has to be the one however - it is lot 404 and right at the start of Day Two (Monday 11 December). Such items are rare to auction, especially those with such impressive retail replacement values. 
Estimated £35,000 - £40,000
