<p style="text-align: justify;">As the year draws to a close, <em>Christie</em> 's presents an elegant and luminous collection by a close relative of the Monegasque princely family. The emerald brooch, commissioned by Prince Aga Khan from Cartier in 1960, will soon be auctioned in Geneva. The collection includes pieces by Boucheron, Van Cleef &amp; Arpels and Cartier, as well as works by Jean Vend&ocirc;me - a N&eacute;nuphar bracelet in ammonite and yellow gold, a brooch that can be turned into a pendant and a cocktail ring - all of which are expected to liven up the auction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The collection consists mainly of items from the 1960s and 1980s. It features yellow gold, a favorite material of the sixties, as in a diamond bracelet from Van Cleef &amp; Arpels or a bracelet from Cartier's tennis line. A rare Boucheron diamond and yellow gold jewelry piece by itself can embody the elegant, glamorous atmosphere of an evening at the Monte Carlo Casino, as in this faux pearl and diamond dog collar. The 70s were also a period of great creativity when Bulgari moved to Monaco: the Tubogas set consisting of a necklace, bracelet and earrings, as well as the torque necklace and earrings in yellow gold and diamonds, perfectly illustrate the technical and aesthetic innovations of the period.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Illustrator and watercolorist Tatiana de Nicolai, whose sense of aesthetics is based on her many travels around the world, has once again designed the scenography of the exhibition.</p>
