As Christie’s sale of the vast Rockefeller estate surpasses $800 million, join American philanthropist and collector Dede Wilsey and two of the famed auction house’s jewelry experts, senior advisor Lisa Hubbard and senior vice president Angelina Chen, for a fascinating look at the world of collecting.
On June 12, 19 pieces of jewelry from the Rockefeller Estate will hit Christie’s auction block as part of their “Magnificent Jewels” sale. The collection includes a Raymond Yard 5.63-carat diamond engagement ring given to Peggy by David during their engagement in 1940. How much will it go for? Who will claim it? And what does it take to have an eye for truly priceless finds?
92Y continues its Jewelry Talks series with Inside the Mind of a Jewelry Collector, on Tuesday, June 19 at 7 pm. Led by Town & Country Editor-in-Chief Stellene Volandes, the talk will feature American philanthropist and collector Dede Wilsey and two of the famed auction house’s jewelry experts - senior advisor Lisa Hubbard and senior vice president Angelina Chen - as they offer a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the world of collecting.
