The first exceptional piece of red-carpet jewellery is this unbelievable diamond and enamel necklace with a mechanical spinning disk. Set with 25 diamonds totalling approximately 1.36 carats, this beautiful necklace is believed to be an Edwardian piece made between 1901 and 1910. It’s likely that watchmakers, goldsmiths and enamelers were all involved in the craftsmanship of this, making it an extremely fine piece of jewellery. Rosalind Ross, a Hollywood screenwriter and Mel Gibson’s girlfriend wore a similar style to the 2017 Oscars.
- Expert's Choice 2: Ruby and Diamond Ring

This beautiful ruby ring is remarkably similar to the rock sported by Lady Gaga at the 2018 Grammys. What’s especially exciting is that Lady Gaga’s ring is actually her engagement ring, given to her by husband-to-be Christian Carino. This is therefore a remarkable opportunity to own a very similar piece of jewellery. The magnificent ring at auction boasts a 3.06 ct ruby nestled in a bed of sparkling diamonds. The ruby is of excellent quality and the total weight of the diamonds is an impressive 2.25 ct.
