From vibrant hues to a soft spring palette, the auction houses have displayed an impressive range of color in jewelry this season.

Spring flowers were in full effect this auction season with two outstanding multi-color gemstone necklaces.

As the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” and May’s birthstone – emerald – perfectly symbolizes this renewal of life. It comes as no surprise, then, that emeralds have been such a focal point of auctions this spring.

From flawless diamonds to fancy colors and fancy shapes, this auction season has seen many historic pieces of jewelry, with more still to come.
