The annual Leonard Joel Christmas Auction was a great success.  Despite the economic downturn, the auction brought out many keen buyers looking for that special Christmas gift. Topping the tree was a diamond flower necklace selling for $9,600.00. Other note worthy pieces were a fine strand of south sea pearls for $4,800.00 and a vintage opal and diamond set snake brooch fetching $3,600.00.

Georg Jensen pieces proved once again popular, the highlight, an abstract style bracelet selling for $1,000.00, and a rare chandelier style bangle at $1,100.00.
The auction featured many affordable pieces with many selling way above there estimates.

Post Christmas Leonard Joel continues with its weekly jewellery auctions commencing January 15 2009, with an array of costume and precious jewellery to suit all budgets. Many items in our weekly auctions are unreserved so there are many bargains to be had.

We are now calling for stock for our first Special Quarterly auction which is to be held on Monday 20 April. With many items already consigned, this auction is shaping up to be yet another colossal event.
