Finarte Rome "Jewels in Bloom" Sale Features Pearl Earrings and Necklace Lots

Finarte Auctions S.r.l. brought its "Jewels in Bloom" sale to Rome on March 16, 2026, and pearl jewelry proved among the sale's most watched categories, with multiple lots drawing bids well past their opening figures.

The most precisely described pearl lot was a pair of 9k two-colour gold earrings conceived as flower forms, their petals set with mabé cultured pearls and accented with rose-cut diamonds and round quartz. Mabé pearls, grown against the interior shell of the mollusk rather than within its tissue, produce that characteristic large, domed surface particularly suited to statement earring design, and their appearance here alongside rose-cut stones placed the pair firmly in a vintage-inflected aesthetic. The earrings carried a starting bid of €400 and sold for €508, a figure that included the buyer's premium.

A second pearl earrings lot, catalogued as lot 194, opened at €1,000 and closed at €1,524, with the buyer's premium folded into that final price. A third pearl earrings entry appeared in the sale with a starting bid of €1,100, though the final hammer price for that lot was not confirmed in available results.

The broader sale offered a compact but varied selection of jewelry. Ruby earrings sold for €1,200, onyx earrings for €700, and a diamond brooch for €900; those three prices were presented exclusive of the buyer's premium, a distinction worth noting when comparing results across lots.
