At the age of eight, John Swanton recalls being in total awe upon seeing and handling a fiery boulder opal for the first time. Little did he realise that this moment would spark his life-long passion for collecting gemstones and jewels. In his early twenties, John set off for London where he developed a particular passion for Art Deco enamel jewellery and was exposed to a range of period jewellery pieces. For the past thirty years John has worked directly within the auction industry, starting out as an antiques cataloguer and then onto becoming an auctioneer and valuer, working mostly with jewellery. These pieces, selected from John’s personal collection illustrate the discerning eye of a jewellery connoisseur. We are privileged to showcase these beautiful items in our 3 September auction. Part Two will be auctioned at our Melbourne showrooms on 6 September.

Exporting Significant Australian Cultural Heritage The export of Australia’s significant cultural heritage is regulated under the Protection of Movable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 (PMCH Act.) It is not intended to restrict normal and legitimate trade in cultural property and does not affect an individual’s right to own or sell within Australia. The PMCH Act implements a system of export permits for certain heritage objects defined as ‘Australian protected objects’. More information is available on the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts’ website: http://www.arts.gov.au/movable_heritage Enquiries can be made to the Cultural Property Section at the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, phone 02 6274 1810 or email movable.heritage@environment.gov.au CITES Regulations It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to comply with all export and import regulations relating to your purchases and also to obtain any relevant export and/or import licences.
