Christie's to offer most valuable jadeite jewel in over a decade at Hong Kong auction

This spring, Christie's will feature The Ethereal Jadeite Necklace as the highlight of its Magnificent Jewels auction in Hong Kong. Composed of 61 exquisitely matched jadeite beads ranging from approximately 13.7 to 8.8 mm in diameter, the necklace carries an estimated value of HK$110–200 million (US$15–26 million). This piece is the most valuable jadeite jewel to hit the market in over a decade and stands as the priciest jewel presented this season. Celebrating Christie's 40th anniversary in Asia, this offering reinforces the auction house's premier status in the jewellery sector. The necklace is noted for its vibrant green hue, exceptional texture, and glass-like translucency, showcasing unparalleled quality and artistry. Jadeite's timeless appeal is rooted in its color variety, with green being the most sought-after.
