Wednesday’s Fine Jewelry auction will be a live event that you can shop from the comfort of your couch or desk. The super-colorful treasures are signed, bold, and gold, and many of the estimates seem surprisingly low—perhaps to ignite rapid-fire rounds of competitive bidding? Not a bad way to spend your morning… Highlights include summery designs by prestigious makers such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Hermès, and Chaumet.
