Sotheby's To Auction Period Russian Jewellery on Nov 17.
Auction house SOTHEBY'S is delighted to be able to offer
for sale one of the most historically important jewels to
have come onto the market in recent years.
The diamond necklace, from the collection of the Russian
Imperial family, is estimated to fetch Sfr. 1,500,000-2,500,000
(665,000-1,108,000/$1,176,000-1,960,600) and is set to be
the star of Sotheby's Magnificent Jewels sale in Geneva on
Thursday, November 17, 2005.
The stunning diamond necklace with a detachable diamond
bow clasp, is a rare survivor of the 18th century, when jewels
were usually broken up to produce new jewellery in the latest
styles. Its survival, in its original state, is almost unheard
of outside royal or museum collections.
Daniela Mascetti, Head of Sotheby's Jewellery department
in London stated that they are delighted to have this unique
opportunity to present - not only such an impressive jewel
in its own right - but one that encapsulates the luxury and
grandeur of the Russian royal court. Its history, survival,
beauty and quality, make this a truly exceptional piece.
In 1719 Peter I (1682-1725), known as 'Peter the Great'
created The Russian State Diamond Fund to house a collection
of jewels that would belong to the Russian state for the
permanent glory of the Russian Empire. Peter demanded that
each Empress or Emperor bequeath a certain number of pieces
acquired during their reign to the state.
During the reign of Catherine II 'the Great' (1762-1796),
extravagance reached standards experienced neither before,
nor since. She employed the skills of the best French and
Swiss jewellers, such as Posier and Duval and consequently
added the largest number of jewels to the Imperial Collection.
The collection was housed in the 'Diamond Room' in the Winter
Palace in St. Petersburg. Peter decreed that no piece could
be sold, given away or changed. A keeper was appointed and
no jewels were ever taken out of the room without a written
sealed order and only in the presence of a trustee especially
appointed by His Imperial Majesty.
The fear of German invasion at the outbreak of the First
World War instigated a decision to move the collection to
Moscow. This was done under the supervision of Mr. Bentichev
of 'H.I.M. Wardrobe Service'. The removal of the strong boxes
was carried out in such haste that no inventory was taken
on the collection's departure from St. Petersburg. When the
jewels arrived in Moscow they were confiscated and stored
away until after the war.
A catalogue entitled: Russia's Treasure of Diamonds and
Precious Stones was published in 1925, in Russian, English,
French and German, under the supervision of Professor A.E.
Fersman. This suggested that the Soviets wished to sell the
collection, however the decision was later retracted, as
was the catalogue. The first public exhibition of the jewels
took place in Moscow in the same year.
Immediately after the publication of the catalogue, a number
of the jewels were sold to a syndicate of British and American
buyers whose identity is unknown, the state retaining the
more valuable items of the collection as part of Russia's
national heritage.
The necklace consists of a beautiful row of 27 large cushion-shaped
diamonds within a border of stylized foliate motifs, close
set with smaller similarly cut stones, embellished with a
ribbon bow clasp, which can be worn separately. This historical
jewel is sure to appeal to collectors of beautiful jewels,
as well as those passionate about fashion and accessories.
Sotheby's jewellery auctions take place in New York, London,
Hong Kong, Geneva, St. Moritz, Paris, Milan and Amsterdam.
Over the years, Sotheby's has been entrusted to offer some
of the most important jewellery collections in the world
including those of the Duchess of Windsor, the Countess du
Boisrouvray, Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis and Mrs.
Harry Winston.
New York based Sotheby's Diamonds is a joint venture with
the Steinmetz Diamond Group, offering the rarest and most
desirable diamonds in the world and exquisite bespoke diamond
jewellery. Sotheby's Diamonds is a combination of Steinmetz's
expertise in diamond cutting and polishing and Sotheby's
connoisseurship and international client base.

John Lennon's Peace Anthem Lyrics Set for Auction.
Two actors recreated John Lennon's 1969 "bed-in" at
a Montreal hotel on Monday to draw attention to the November
auction of the original lyrics of his "Give Peace A
Chance" anthem.
The actors, clad in white pyjamas, portrayed Lennon and
wife Yoko Ono in a scene re-enacting the couple's week-long
meeting with the press and public in their small two-room
suite at Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel in May 1969.
Lennon and Ono's "bed-in" was intended as a protest
against the Vietnam War. It was held a little less than a
year before the breakup of Lennon and fellow members of the
Beatles, arguably the most influential band in pop music
history, became official.
Lennon scrawled the lyrics, which featured the refrain, "all
we are saying is give peace a chance", on a hotel envelope.
The song was recorded in the hotel room with guests such
as Timothy Leary, Tommy Smothers and Petula Clark and became
a favourite of peace demonstrators worldwide.
Lennon died on December 8, 1980, at age 40 after a stalker
shot him outside his New York City apartment building.
Auction house Bonhams estimates the lyrics have a value
of 175,000 to 200,000 pounds and plans to sell them on November
16 in London.
"These are the most important Lennon lyrics that have
ever been auctioned," said Michelle Gonsalves, spokeswoman
for Bonhams. "It's a very buoyant market for Beatles
memorabilia and it has been for the past 10 years."
The lyrics come from the collection of former Beatles press
officer Derek Taylor, who died in 1997. Gonsalves declined
to say who would receive proceeds from the sale.
Lennon and Ono arrived at the Montreal hotel late at night,
without a reservation or cash, after being denied entry to
the United States. They had planned to stage the bed-in in
New York.
A Queen Elizabeth hotel spokeswoman said suite 1742, which
has Lennon's name on the brass door plate, is the most sought-
after by patrons.
The couple held their first bed-in two months earlier at
an Amsterdam hotel.

Personalised Number Plates.
Well, whether they are TR3NDY or T4CKY, lots of people are
driving round with personalised plates these days. In 2003
it was estimated that a personalised number plate could be
sold at 10-15% more than the price it was bought for.
Therefs an auction running on www.ebay.co.uk for a number
plate reading GOO61E | with a whopping 20,000 starting price
on it | claiming to be the only Google plate out there! This
follows in the footsteps of the MU 11 plate which sold for
the same amount | presumably to a big Manchester United fan.
People love customising their cars, so what are the rules
when it comes to number plates?
Formats
Cars that are older than 2001 have older style plates in
a format like gM0TORh that, it is agreed, can make some
great words. In 2001 the plate format changed, so the new
plates are longer, and can be harder to make clear words
out of | though a number plate like gGR04NEDh is a possibility.
A car can look older, but it canft look newer. Cars older
than 2001 canft have a new number plate, but cars newer than
2001 can have an old number plate.
Flags
Legislation was introduced in 2001 meaning that the Euro
symbol of stars could be displayed on a number plate.
There was a big outcry in the UK by people who wanted to
be able to have the Union Jack on their number plate instead
of the Euro symbol | and they won! 3 months later, the rules
were changed so that the following flags are also legal on
UK number plates | Union Flag, Cross of St George, Cross
of St Andrew and Red Dragon.
However, for those people wanting to have their favourite
football clubfs badge or their car makerfs symbol on their
number plate, there is still disappointment. Flags are the
only kind of adornment that can be added to a plate.
Rebecca Pearson of Duck2water Car Insurance says on personal
plates:
gWe have found out that about 5% of our customers have personalised
plates. Some of our customers told us that they had chosen
personalised plates because they were given them as gifts.
Plates make super gifts for people because they look great
without raising their car insurance like other car customisations
do.h
------------------------------------------------------------
Art Goes On Display Before Auction.
More than 3 million worth of Scottish artwork is to go
on display ahead of a major sale.
Pictures on public view include works by Sir William MacTaggart,
Sir Henry Raeburn, Anne Redpath, Sir John Lavery and Jack
Vettriano, as well as all four of the Scottish Colourists.
Leading the sale are four works painted by the two most
prominent artists of the Scottish Colourist movement: Samuel
John Peploe and FCB Cadell.
The Positive Club
The Place Where You Are.
The place where life happens is the place where you are.
The place where you build success and achievement is the
place where you are.
You cannot change the places where you came from, and you've
not yet arrived at the places you'll be. The place where
you are is the only place where you can think and act and
make life happen in the way you intend.
If you spend your time wishing you were someplace else,
then you lose the opportunity to get there. Instead, see
the power and the possibilities of the place where you are,
and tap into the real value of what you now have.
If you fill the place where you are with worry, frustration,
anxiety or anger, you put needless limitations on what you
can do. Instead, fill this moment, this set of circumstances
with joy, love, gratitude and enthusiasm for the positive
possibilities.
Give the best that you can to the place where you are. For
your world is determined not by what you hope to do on some
distant someday, but by how you live right here and now.
This is the place where you are. Live it for all that it
is.
