As part of “The Sensational Six,” a magnificent single-strand jadeite bead necklace, will be the headliner of Christie’s – Hong Kong’s upcoming sale of exquisite jewels next month.

Estimated to sell between $6.4 million and $10 million, this bead necklace is a rare gem; it has become increasingly difficult to find one with such high quality and matching beads. Representing the highest level of jadeite collecting, this particular necklace is a beautiful infusion of color, texture, and translucency that is hard to find.

Being extremely translucent and glass-like, each of the 51 emerald beads are saturated evenly and in a way that produces a vibrant color that one can’t take the eye away from. The texture – which is of the finest – is complimented with excellent craftsmanship, which is easily noticeable as each shape is perfect. The single-strand necklace is carved from old mine Burmese rough, making it one of the most important jadeite necklaces to ever be offered on the market.

Each of “The Sensational Six” is a jewel that is the best of its type, and is expected to garner at least a total of $25 million.

Along with the magnificent single-strand jadeite bead necklace, the rest of these stunning gems include: a superb 5.01carat Fancy Vivid Blue VS2 heart-shaped diamond ring ($4.5 million to $7million); a stunning pair of 2.48 carat and 2.03 carat Fancy Deep Blue heart-shaped and 10.12 carat D VS2 and 9.61 carat E VS1 pear-shaped diamond ear pendants ($3.7 million to $5 million); an exquisite Kashmir sapphire and diamond bracelet, circa 1960, by Cartier ($3 million to $5 million); an impressive 10.05carat D IF old cushion-shaped Golconda diamond ring ($1.25 million to $2 million) ;and an exceptional four-strand natural coloured pearl and diamond necklace ($1.2 million to $2 million).

Set to take place on the 1st of June in Hong Kong, Christie’s is currently touring “The Sensational Six” through North America, Europe, and Asia.
