Sotheby's Geneva will present a selection of jewels with royal and noble provenance at its November 14, 2012 Magnificent Jewels sale. Highlights include a rare conch pearl, enamel, and diamond bracelet formerly owned by Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain (1887-1969). Cartier created the bracelet in the late 1920s in the "tutti frutti" style of the period, though the use of conch pearls was unusual for the time. The bracelet is expected to fetch between $800,000 and $1.4 million.
