A 1930’s diamond necklace by Cartier, Paris is the feature lot at the James Adam evening sale of fine jewellery and watches in Dublin on May 19. The two strand necklace is by descent from the Cahen d’Anvers family, one of the most notable Jewish banking families in France during the fin-de-siecle. They famously commissioned Renoir to paint portraits of their three young daughters. The first of Irene in 1880 was completed to much applause, the second, of Alice and Elizabeth, did not meet the family’s approval and was banished to the servants quarters. The necklace, 47 carats in total, is estimated at 70,000-90,000. The catalogue for the sale is online. Here is a small selection:
