  • Across The Block
    February 27, 2024

    Bidders at auctions around the United States had shiny-object syndrome this week – going after things that glittered or shone brightly. Diamonds were the top lots in sales from Florida – where an old mine cut diamond in a platinum setting realized nearly $8,000 for Burchard – to an unmounted nearly 3-carat pear-cut stone in California achieved $32,500 for Michaan’s. Sterling flatware set an attractive table – and the high bar – for Eldred’s and Clars bidders played a Harry Bertoia sound sculpture to $53,550.
