Noonans Mayfair to Auction Lady Wardington’s Rare Jewellery Collection

Noonans Mayfair is offering the personal jewellery collection of the late Lady Wardington (1927-2014) in a catalogue sale that the auction house describes as high-quality vintage and estate pieces from the mid-20th century. Noonans’ listing states, “The Collection offered here for sale comprises a selection of Lady Wardington's personal jewellery ...” and the auction house has called Lady Wardington “one of society's most glamorous and beautiful women of the mid-20th century,” said the auction house.

Highlights cited in coverage include a “Lady Wardington and diamond clip brooch,” a “diamond and platinum bracelet,” a “diamond and gemstone brooch pendant,” and “Colombian emerald and diamond earrings with a jewelry case,” all named in NationalJeweler’s item list. NationalJeweler also preserves fragments for other lots: “Lady Wardington gold evening bags and £20,000.” and entries for “diamond double clip brooch earrings” and a “Georgian gold and agate bracelet.” Those items form the core of the catalogue material circulating in preview notices.

Calendar details remain inconsistent across published snippets. An original summary states, “Auction house Noonans announced a catalogue sale featuring the jewelry collection of Lady Wardington, scheduled for late February 2026. The collection — described by the auction house as containing high‑quality vintage and estate pieces from the mid‑20th century — will be offered across mul” while Professionaljeweller’s notice is explicit: “The Collection of the late Lady Wardington (1927-2014) will be offered at auction at Noonans Mayfair on 10 March.” An Instagram post promotes the sale with the line, “will be up for auction at Noonans Mayfair next month. See the jewels belonging to” and Benchpeg lists the sale as part of an auction of “Jewellery, Watches, Silver and Objects of vertu at” without the full date in the supplied copy.

The venue is identified repeatedly as Noonans Mayfair, though supplied materials do not give a full postal address or saleroom details. Noonans’ promotional fragment includes a press contact and social reference: “auctions@noonans.co.uk · Noonans on Facebook · Noonans,” which is the explicit contact provided for catalogue and media enquiries in the snippets.

For collectors and gift buyers, the provenance is as notable as the gemstones: the pieces are described as Lady Wardington’s personal jewellery, linking each lot to a named society figure from the mid-20th century. The catalogue is presented as a catalogue sale within categories of Jewellery, Watches, Silver and Objects of vertu, and reported item names suggest a mix of high-carat stones and period craftsmanship rather than maker-named modern examples.

Noonans remains the primary source for full lot descriptions, estimates, viewing arrangements and confirmation of the sale timetable; the listing email preserved in promotional material is auctions@noonans.co.uk. Concrete lot numbers, pre-sale estimates and condition reports were not included in the supplied text and should be obtained directly from Noonans before bidding or purchasing.
