Targeting an audience of vintage-obsessed jewellery lovers, the house allows ‘accessible’ and ‘aspirational’ to combine, to entice a new wave of millennial buyers.
Established in 1826 in Edinburgh, the renowned auctioneer has recently opened a gallery on Connaught Street near Marble Arch to promote fine art in all its forms – from Scottish paintings to Chinese ceramics – as well as host its bi-annual jewellery sales in May and November. Boasting creations from Cartier, Boucheron, Grima and Van Cleef & Arpels, browsing clients enjoy a top-level selection of lots, a world-class friendly and informative service, and also benefit from a wide range of jewellery at a much lower price point. With pieces starting at under £500, Lyon & Turnbull is the definition of attainable vintage style.
Kate Flitcroft, Head of Jewellery and Silver in London, comments: “this season, some of our key pieces fall into a number of the year’s developing trends – opulence, minimalism and romantics. We have diamond studded Cartier watches next to 19th century ruby pendants in their original boxes, and a whimsical Etruscan bangle next to suites of the most vibrant stones on offer – it truly is a sight to behold. With prices ranging from the hundreds to upwards of £30,000, Lyon & Turnbull is opening the boutique door for everyone to own their own piece of history”.
The winter jewellery sale will be held on 15th November from 1pm at the Royal Opera Arcade on Pall Mall in London. All lots will be available to view at the Connaught St Gallery on 11th & 12th November before moving to the Royal Opera Arcade 13th to 15th November.
