Bonhams has selected to offer jewellery from the collection of English novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford, on December 5th at Bonhams New Bond Street headquarters in London, reports say.

The collection will include 40 pieces presented to her during her 49-year marriage to film and television producer Robert Bradford. Of the 40 pieces the auction house has identified a 14.07-carat cushion-cut G, VS1 diamond ring by David Morris to be the highest-grossing piece estimated to sell for around $700,000.

Other pieces include a ring set with an 18.37-carat cushion-cut Burmese sapphire from Harry Winston in New York, an antique sapphire and diamond brooch from S.J. Phillips in London, a pair of cultured pearl and diamond earclips from Harry Winston, a pair of old-cut fancy yellow diamond stud earrings from David Morris, amongst others.

The jewellery carries a small description of when they were gifted to Bradford and the reason behind them. The jewellery will be on exhibit at a pre-sale display organised across New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hong Kong, beginning in October.
