Charm all the rage at antiques auction
April 2025
A well supported sale in person and online led to a series of fine prices at Greenslade Taylor Hunt’s latest antiques auction at the Somerset Salerooms, Sedgemoor Auction Centre.
Posting the highest price was a weighty sovereign and 1774 guinea charm bracelet. This 9ct rose gold piece had seven sovereigns attached dated 1968, 1899, 1903, 1912, 1909, 1966 and 1911, plus a 1774 George III guinea, all mounted in 9ct gold.
Competitive bidding saw an internet bidder emerge victorious with a definitive £4,200 bid.
There were a number of 9ct gold charm bracelets in the sale, which all sold for comfortably in excess of their guide prices, demonstrating the current demand for gold and the power of a saleroom to drive up prices.
A 9ct gold charm bracelet, hallmarked London 2004, with numerous 9ct gold charms attached, sold for £1,250.
Jewellery in general is commanding strong prices as investors look for secure havens in these volatile times.
A Georgian emerald and diamond ring, well viewed before the auction, was bought for £2,200.
A room bidder claimed an 18ct tri-colour gold necklace with graduated textured fringe links for £1,700.
