The manufacture of high quality jewellery using materials that imitate precious metals and stones dates back over 3500 years to early Egyptian times (and beyond).

Marvellous pieces dating from the time of the Pharaohs was set with “faience” turquoise (a type of porcelain), with well- known examples forming part of the Tutankhamen treasure. The tradition continued unabated to the present day, and was notably fashionable during the 17th/18th Centuries when “French Paste” was used to simulate diamonds.

During the first half of the 20th Century, couturiers such as Coco Chanel led a fashion trend that saw costume jewellery being keenly sought after, selling in a wide price range, and often regarded as more avant-garde than the real thing. Attention to detail was paramount, with the same care given to construction and design as was devoted to jewellery made from precious materials.

Interest in jewellery from this golden period has grown rapidly in recent years, with collectors competing enthusiastically for pieces, particularly by the more famous designers. Prices paid can range from quite modest sums up to thousands of dollars for the most desirable.

The pieces offered in this sale comprise 49 items from a vast collection, once the property of the prominent German Industrialist Rudolph family of Schloss Dillich, and includes examples by Christian Dior, Coro, Miriam Haskell, Hattie Carnegie, Weiss, Trifari, Boucher, Schiaparelli, Staret, Eisenberg and others, together with 7 pieces of similar quality from other vendors.

Independent Gemmological Reports and Valuations: Valuations are made available to customers for two primary purposes: Firstly to provide an independent opinion as to the quality of the stones and metals comprising the piece, and Secondly so that buyers can, if they wish, obtain suitable Insurance cover immediately upon purchase and prior to delivery.

A valuation for insurance purposes represents a calculated replacement cost allowing for maximum retail margins, such that an Insurer can assess the outer limit of their exposure to risk. It does not represent actual new retail replacement as it makes no provision for competitive trade practice, or for discounts obtained by individual bargaining. As fashion, desirability and current market forces all have variable impact on second hand or Auction value, there is no direct formula for estimation of such value by interpolation from Insurable value.

As the currency exchange rate and spot metal prices have a marked effect on jewellery valuations, buyers should note the date and prevailing economic factors at the time that the valuation was produced. Once all of the prevailing parameters have been established, it is possible for an experienced person to interpolate a rough estimate of the current cost of manufacture from past insurable value, but again that exercise will give no indication of actual market forces.

Buyers should also note the stated purpose of the valuation (insurance, retail market, cash value, estate division etc). All valuations remain opinions and not matters of fact.

Whilst Webb’s staff will assist buyers to understand the methodology and technical details of Gemmological reports and valuations, buyers must make their own assessment of an item’s value before bidding. Webb’s its consultants and employees make no representation or warranty regarding any outside opinion, valuation or certificate of any item on offer.

Please note: where gemological reports are available these should be read together with the catalogue description. Should there be, through error, omission or introduction of better evidence, any significant difference between the catalogued description and that provided in the gemologist’s report, it shall be assumed that the buyer has inspected the report and is buying in acceptance of it. Unless otherwise stated, all stones have been assessed for weight, colour or clarity mounted and the descriptions given in the catalogue or report are therefore based on estimates which are limited in accuracy. Where an actual weight is given the stone will have been weighed loose, however while the grading of a stone loose will minimise error margins it shall be accepted by the buyer that all reports and descriptions remain opinions and not matters of fact.
