The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller includes beautiful selections by the storied French jewelry house, Van Cleef & Arpels. The variety of styles and materials in Peggy’s collection adds diversity to her jewelry collection. Incorporating daytime appeal and evening elegance, the assemblage provides prime examples of the house’s signature designs. Arguably the most iconic design by Van Cleef & Arpels was the ‘mystery-set’ technique. From the time it was conceived in 1933, mystery-set jewels have been highly sought after by jewelry connoisseurs. The Rockefellers’ elegant sapphire and diamond earrings (Lot 176) are no exception. The mystery-set sapphire drops paired with beautiful diamond surmounts are the essence of sophistication. The peridot and diamond suite by Van Cleef & Arpels exemplifies the house’s playful use of color. Peggy was photographed wearing this glamorous suite on various occasions. With additional lots by Van Cleef & Arpels, the depth of the Rockefellers’ collection showcases the broad range of designs executed by Van Cleef & Arpels, with premier examples of each style.THE COLLECTION OF PEGGY AND DAVID ROCKEFELLER

On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is such a lot.
