Jewels of Agatha Christie to feature at Bonhams, Knightsbridge Jewellery auction
These jewels will be part of the Bonhams, Knightsbridge Jewellery auction on 8th October. The jewels are said to be worth around £10,000.
The jewels are mentioned in Agatha Christie’s biography as pieces that were earmarked for Agatha and her sister Madge to inherit from their mother’s collection. Christie writes: “My mother’s valuable jewellery consisted of ‘my diamond buckle’, ‘my diamond crescent’ and ‘my diamond engagement ring’…Madge was to have the diamond crescent, I was to have the diamond buckle…”
“…my mother sorted amongst an array of odds and ends…all these required hours of sorting before they were packed in the trays in the various trunks.”
The 19th century diamond brooch is offered at £6,000-8,000 and the diamond three-stone ring is offered with estimate of £3,000-5,000.
