GENEVA – The Geneva Sotheby’s High Jewelry sale on May 12, 2026 – which totalled 23,361, 472 CHF / 30,087,473 USD and sold 93% of all the lots offered – generated the highest participation in a Sotheby’s Geneva jewellery sale in over five years, with more than five paddles registered for each lot sold.
Along with lot 501 and 625, just over 60% of all lots sold were sold above their high estimate and a further 32% sold comfortably above their low estimate.
The strong bidding came from all over the world – over 30 countries with the USA, Asia and Europe leading the charge including many UK, Swiss and Italian bidders.
